Do you think the death of a parent is harder for oldest or youngest child?
Let's say one is 20. The other is 30.
On average do you think it's harder on the younger more? Or the older?
| Youngest | 6 | |
| Oldest | 6 |

The one who was closest to the mother I believe. And it also depends on their economic situation. If the death of the mother means that the oldest has to cater for the young one then it's harder for him/her.

Depends on who is closer and how one processes grief. My mom passed 2 yrs ago and I think my younger brother is still grieving over it. He lived out of the country and I think the distance played a factor in them communicating much more. I was local and wrongly took it for granted a lot. Also, he was present the moment she passed at the hospital, and that played a factor I'm sure. I had just left after sitting with her. My views on life and death have helped me be more at peace with her passing but I do miss her a lot.
