I lost my mother, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and we had to relocate my dad after 58 years in the family home. That was tough.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When my father died, I was living in England. It was very traumatic that he died when I was away.
I lost my mother when I was very young, and my father when I was in college.
I had a very turbulent and painful childhood, like many people. I left for college when I was 16 years old and up until that point I'd lived in five different family configurations. Each one ended or changed through a death or some terrible loss.
I was very close to my mother, and her death, which left a gaping hole in my life, has been very difficult for me and my father in a lot of ways.
I lost my dad when I was younger, and I know what it's like to lose a beloved parent.
I lost my parents very early in my life. My mom died three weeks after I graduated from high school, and my dad died two years after I got married.
When I was nine years old, my family lost our home, and the six of us moved into my grandparents' converted garage.
Three days after my brother died, my father was in the hospital. He just did not want to live anymore. Before, he was fighting and loving life.
My mum died of leukemia when I was in high school - she lost her life at 40. It was very hard, and I didn't do that much in Chicago after that. I actually sat around and didn't do anything for three years. I didn't know what I wanted to do anymore because my everything was gone. I was a mama's boy, and I had to turn into a man real quick.
My father died when I was young, and after he did, my mother had it tough. Very tough.
