[quote=Anonymous]My dad died when I was a kid, my mom when I was 20. I felt orphaned but I never used that term as it’s meant for minors. I was a young person in college. Looking back, yeah I was basically a kid. But it still has never felt right to call myself an orphan. Losing the people that take care of you when you are still so highly dependent on them for basic life necessities is being orphaned. You literally need an adult to support you and look after you. Adults do not need that, we want that but we are capable of supporting ourselves without a parent. That’s not an orphan. Losing parents as we get older is the natural process of life, not an aberration to normal. [/quote]
