Where Will We End Up!

Miffo

Hi everybody, Matthew here.

Two weeks ago my dad collapsed due to stress, when he collapsed we called an ambulance because we thought he might have had a heart attack. Luckily it wasn't anything serious but at the time I was starting to prepare that he might not be ok and when that happened I started wondering what would happen to me.

I always thought if anything happened to my mum and dad I'd have a nervous breakdown or something similar to that. Basically what I want to know is, what do you think will happen to you once your parents are gone?

Thanks to anyone who replies.

Kindest regards,

Matthew.

  • I have often thought about this myself, and I think I won't be able to cope at all. I can only imagine the outcome - having the nervous breakdown you mention, and feeling completely sick and broken. I hope my parents will live for many years to come, but my Dad is approaching 70 years old - he is an old Dad because he had me when he was 40, and I am now 26 years old. Therefore old age could hit him within the next 10 years or so, and I am worried in case he gets ill. My Mum is a lot younger than my Dad, so I am not so worried about her at the moment, but I do fear for the future. I have no friends, and other than my support workers, my parents are the only real social support that I have. Plus, I can't deal with change, and death of your loved ones is the biggest change there is.
