For a long time I never came across others who were parentally bereaved at a young age. Then I read this great book on the subject 'The Loss that is Forever' - I forget the author without hunting the book out. After that I came across more and more who had shared similar experiences and I didn't feel so 'odd'.

Would you care to share a little about your own spiritual journey? and do you think you were motivated spiritually by the losses in your life?

Thanks for sharing, sorry to hear this feels a bit eerie for you.
