Adult Orphan — Grown Child Grief Support

Lavonda Fae O’Day

Known as “Ms. Vonda,” Lavonda Fae O’Day is the Founder & CEO of Adult Orphan. Its focus is supporting adults through parental loss, with compassion, connection, and room to be heard.

Being grown does not mean you stop needing your parents. Adult Orphan offers a starting point for people looking for a listening ear, a sense of belonging, or information about support.

A welcome without a timetable.

Your loss may be recent, or it may be something you have carried for years. You are welcome to introduce yourself, ask a question, or learn more at your own pace.

“God isn’t afraid of your ugly cry!”
