I lost my parents when I was fairly young.

To lose your last remaining parent is the toughest thing. It is a very lonely thing.

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.

Losing your parent is unlike anything.

Anyone who loses a parent, you have to find those parts of yourself that your parent held true in themselves, especially if they're supportive parents.

Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can't really control life - so you'd better live it while it's here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.

I lost my mother and my brother when I was 15 in two separate car accidents. I was doing well at school. I was a good sportsperson, but at that point, I gave up on all of those things that were there to be done. I couldn't deal with them.

I lost my dad when I was younger, and I know what it's like to lose a beloved parent.

I lost both my parents young - but I have felt their presence throughout my life.

After losing Dad, there was the idea that none of us have forever. It really affects you. It makes you want to live each day as if it's your last.
