Losing a parent can be one of the most difficult things you experience. I hope these lessons help you if you're experiencing loss or make your relationship with your parent deeper if they're still around.
Lessons:
- Learn your parent's story. Find out about their life before you and see them as a person thats gone through their own trials and tribulations.

- You can still have a relationship with your parent even after they've passed away
- There's a before & after with loss. Life looks different afterwards and it takes time to accept that and find a new rhythm to your life.
- We need to discuss death and the process of dying more often. It's better to discuss these things before a crisis moment.
- Get support. Experiencing loss is one of the best times to seek out help from a therapist. (https://www.betterhelp.com & https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists)
