Short version lol
I was only 8, no one actually explained to me what happened, that he had died, I didn’t go to his funeral, my mother was advised that I shouldn’t go as I was too young. I didn’t understand and my mother wasn’t coping with the grief,
I’d never experienced anyone dying, I don’t think I really understood what happened, until years later, I don’t even know how he had died until I was about 14, it was just not talked about, she grieved for years and we didn’t want to upset her bringing it up, she was only 36 with 4 kids to bring up on her own, she did the best she could at the time but I was left with abandonment wounds, I felt I lost both of them when it happened. If that makes any sense?
