Grief From the mouth of an adult orphan BY ROSA CARRAFA
‘I am an orphan. I survived my change of environment throughout adolescence. I battled my way through the confusion of romantic relationships in my 20’s. I held my ground as a sole parent in my 30’s. I ached the changes of my womanhood that were occurring in my 40’s. I am today in my 50’s - acknowledging who I am because of the woman I was yesterday, that is leading me to forward and become the woman I will be tomorrow.’
