But in some not-as-fortunate circumstances usually brought about by unforeseen events, a child is forced to live their lives with a single parent. By definition, they are people who raise their child/children alone without the presence/assistance of their partner. Generally, single parenthood stems from broken marriages or death. Additionally, there are cases wherein one of the parents develop cold feet and decides to stray away from commitments, in this cases they resolve in leaving their partner and offspring.

    Death is not so light a concept as to glance off of those it does not take. Oftentimes, when death claims someone close to you, it seems easy to fall into a lethargic pit of despair, contenting oneself only to dwell on the morose incontrollable nature of the universe. I know I felt this way, especially with the guilt laid upon me with the death of my brother.
