The death of a parent

The death of a parent, even when expected, severs the relationship that shaped you from the inside—you lose the witness to your earlier self and your place in a chain of generations. Grief here is tangled with identity: you must learn to stand alone in a way you never had to before, without anyone who knew you at the beginning.
