There’s a before and an after of myself

There are expectations of people at every stage of their life. For a young person, their expectation often has to do with the fixation on the future. Hunger, vigor and energy, always forward looking. An optimism of possibilities that exist somewhere out there in the world. But, when you lose a parent at a young age, you are required to build your compass as you walk. 

There is no journey that feels more daunting than the rest of your life. 

There is a void that is left behind.

How do I navigate this world without my parents.
