A Story of Resilience
“Sometimes I wonder how my life would have been different if he hadn’t died when I was so young, and I wonder if he were alive, what would he think of me and my life now?”
How do I ask my dad to buy me tampons/pads at the store without making it suddenly awkward?
How does one explain death to younger siblings?

No one can fill the position of your parent. No one can replicate the relationships they had with others and the memories they created. Unfortunately though, after losing a parent, it will often feel like you have to become them. For instance, taking their profession and responsibilities of supporting a family. It will often feel like you have to “man up.” But what does that mean?
What can I do about pimples? And when should I seek treatment for my acne?
