RN 10 / I read Nancy & Asad's Interviews

RN 10

The thesis I have gathered from the two interviews I read, is that growing up without a parent can be very difficult. Both that were interviewed had lost a parent at a very young age. Life is hard enough when you have two parents. Losing one makes life twice as hard.

The themes of the two interviews was powerlessness. Neither could have done anything to change the fate of their parent.

I can relate to both interviews. I lost my father 5 years ago to cancer. I was much older at twenty nine, but it's still a terrible thing to go through. I too felt powerlessness. Sometimes in life their is nothing you can do to stop something from happening.

- In what ways has growing up with a single parent made you stonger?
- If you were able to talk to a deaceased parent today. What would you tell them or ask them?
- What will you tell your kids about growing up with only one parent?
