Going out and finding a new dress with your mom is almost a rite of passage. However, not everyone can do so. Ava, a high school student, went to TikTok to talk about how she had lost her own mom.

It is always heartbreaking to hear about when a child loses their mother. As time passes, there are many things they miss out on, which can be pretty difficult for the child. People like Ava's friend's mom knew she was dealing with the loss and stepped in to help.
