This is a disturbing thought for most of us irrespective of being an only child. But time has the power to heal all. Keep your friends close and keep in touch with your extended family- uncles, aunts, cousins. No one can replace parents but having a close friends and family would help you deal with your loss

Talk to your parents about how you feel. Try to branch out places where they could use your volunteer time and that will help you build a different type of family.

Most parents leave information on wh will take care of their children in their will. You may want to ask your parents about who you will be with if they pass away, or if they have a plan.

Some things you can do is go out and invent who you are now. Find some hobbies that make you happy. Do things for you and no one else but please keep it legal

You can either count on your legal guardians or you can count on yourself. Your choice. Just don't worry about it for now dearie.

You can try to become as independent as posible, to make your parents more proud of you, and also to build self-confidence, and, obviously, to take care of yourself when the hour comes.
