Lesson Overview

6.49 – Coping With a Parent’s Arrest, Illness, or Absence: Losing a parent to arrest, sickness, or absence changes everything overnight. You might feel anger, sadness, or shame all at once. It’s okay to grieve even if others don’t understand your pain. Keep routines steady to maintain a sense of normalcy. Writing letters you’ll never send or creating memory boxes helps process emotions safely. Avoid internalizing blame; their situation isn’t your fault. Seek support from school counselors, extended family, or community programs. Staying connected to healthy role models keeps hope alive. Life can feel uncertain, but your identity isn’t tied to their choices or condition. You can still build strength and stability even after major loss. Healing means accepting what happened without letting it define your future.
