How I'm found strength after losing my parents. Very heartless
I want to share my story with you…Life was good, everything was going well until something bad happened. My house caught fire and I lost both my parents. It was a very sad time for me because I already lost my favourite grandma last year. Suddenly I was an orphan. I felt angry and all I could think of was why did this happen to me?At that moment I didn’t feel strong enough to pull myself up. All I could ask was, “Why me, why me, why me?” The more I asked “why me?” the worse I felt. Being negative was making things worse.Suddenly an idea sparked in my head. When my grandma died I was sad but I started to feel like my happy self again with the help of my friends. So if I survived before I could survive again, right? YES, THAT WAS RIGHT! I began feeling strong and confident just from thinking positive thoughts in my head and saying them out loud. I started remembering all the difficult situations I had been in before. Each time I fell, I always got back up again. Why should this time be different?You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. After the funeral I went to live with my aunty and uncle and they’ve been amazing support ever since. They helped me understand that my anger at the world was normal but there comes a time when I must rise again. And I did!My aunty also taught me a mantra I could use to encourage myself. Everyday I would say, “If I did it before, I can do it again: I am strong. I am a survivor. I am unstoppable.”
