She is doing it all alone!

[UnhappySoul]

Today morning, mom told me this news about a family.
We used to live on the same floor. There is a little girl. Her mom died due to cancer few years ago. We used to go to her apartment to check on her. Her dad is too old but they earned enough money for her girl and they have savings for her marriage too. We used to take them dinner sometimes. We vacated our house from there 7years ago.
Now I came to know that her dad passed away a year ago.
This shocken me very much knowning that girl is living in her home all alone.. She is just 17years now. No one from her relatives came to their home when her mom died. I hardly know someone coming to check on them from their family.. Now her father passed away too and she is managing everything all alone. Her studies, food. Such a brave girl she must be.. On the other hand she must be broken deeply knowing she doesn't have anyone around to console her when she cries in the night. How much pain can it cause knowing there is no one to wake her up and say breakfast is ready, no one to wake her up and say happy birthday sweetie.. This is really disturbing me since i heard of it and on the other hand I'm very proud of girls who are such strong and brave to face the world all alone without any support.

Are you in the UK? Would social services be involved for a 17 year old?

I'm from india.

I would say US , 'mom, apartment, sweetie'

That sounds very sad OP , can you offer her any support?

That truly is a sad story. Are there no close friends of the family or any relatives around at all?

Have you tried going to visit the girl?

I just got to know this today and i will definitely go visit her and give her emotional support

Poor girl. That's a lot of loss for a 17yo to deal with alone

Can you get in touch to offer support? I'm sure she'd appreciate it

That would be kind OP. Do you know if she has any aunties who can support her? Do you think she might accept your support?

She is financially all well as her parents did many savings on her and for her marriage.. No one visits her from relatives

Does she live in the UK?

Could she get some practical and emotional support from members of her temple, mosque or church?

I think you just have to accept that not everyone in life has an easy ride - I speak from experience.

Poor girl, she must be so lonely. Well done for saying you’ll visit OP, even though she is coping well she might welcome some support from a familiar face.

It really depends on how she feels about it. For example, I left care at 16, had my own flat and still did my GCSE's whilst living by myself. I had zero support, but I was fine. Taught me independence and to manage and rely on myself. I didn't feel alone and that I needed support.
