"I first felt grief at 11-12 with my papa passing away."

I feel very loved by my parents and my whole family. My parents support me in everything that I do and I am so grateful to have them.

S.T.M.

"I felt grief for my old life and what I believed to be my childhood that I had left behind."

I feel loved by my family and friends. I really appreciate it when people tell me they love me and show because sometimes I forget that people love me. So having someone verbally say that they love me or like they appreciate me just existing really helps.
