Both parents deceased by the time she was 12


How does a child deal with that

reply

She did not remember her mother, but was crushed when her father died. It did not help that her Aunt that she was living with after her father died also passed away after suffering an asthma attack. It seems that as she grew up she turned to older men to fill the void that she missed from her father,Edvin Adolphson, Peter Lindsrom, Alfred Hitchcock, Victor Fleming, Roberto Rossellini. Some were just friends but most have been romantically linked to her.

I just read that, very sad.

you just do. there's nothing else you can do. speaking from experience, you learn to live but never get over it. you learn to deal with it and find out that you should be happy and not mourn. it does help if you were too young to remember them well

Thousands have. children seem to be more resilient and forgiving than adults.
