Mom Shares Son’s Last Words to Her Before He Died, People Say It Was Her Fault

A heartbreaking video of a grieving mother surfaced on TikTok, where she shared the last words her son wrote before his untimely death. Instead of sympathizing with her, a netizen blamed her for his demise.

Losing a child is one of the worst nightmares for a parent. It sends a shiver down their spine when they think of it, and they wish they would never witness that moment in their lives. However, fate's plans make some parents, such as the woman in today's story, experience the grief of losing their child.

A Kansas resident, Kristi Khan, created a TikTok account to share the story of her son, Kai, who enjoyed listening to music like other kids and aspired to become a nurse. Unfortunately, fate didn't allow him to witness his dreams become a reality.

Khan's TikTok account goes by the name angelkiss77, where she has posted many videos to share her son's story. In one such video that garnered over a million views, the heartbroken mother starts crying while reading her son's last letter to his parents.

What Did Kai Write in the Letter?

In the video captioned "Kai's last words to me," Khan read her late son's letter as tears trickled down her cheeks. Kai began his letter by saying, "I'm sorry for what I'm planning to do soon after I finish this letter."

Then, the boy explained that he was "merely surviving" instead of "living" and said it wasn't his parents' fault. Instead, he believed he wasn't "made for this society." The grieving mother couldn't control her tears while reading her son's last words.

"I actually think it would be hard to find parents like you," Kai said and appreciated how his parents raised him while accepting his life choices. He wanted his parents to know that what he did after writing the letter was not their fault.

The young boy went on to say that people wanted him to live a certain way, but he never listened to anyone. He wanted his parents to do the same. He wanted them not to pay attention to whatever people would tell them after his death.

In the letter, Kai told his parents that he tried looking for a way to live to no avail. As a result, he decided to end his life. Before signing off, Kai told his mother to refrain from spending too much time on Facebook. He said:

"People will try to blame you for letting me be me."

The young boy felt grateful that his parents allowed him to change his gender, but people weren't happy with his life choice. In the video, Khan accused people of "dehumanizing" kids like her son.

How Did She Respond to a Netizen's Comment about Her Son?

Khan, who has over 21,000 followers on TikTok, receives all kinds of comments from people online. Some sympathized with her after learning why her son died, while others didn't.

In another video, the mother reacted to a comment about her late son from a TikToker with the username bethbrown5578.

"Don't blame people because your son couldn't accept his birth gender," bethbrown5578 said in the comments under one of Khan's videos. "Maybe you should have got him mental health counseling. He was weak."

Khan began her video by saying she wanted to delete the comment but decided to reply to it to show people what kind of comments she gets on her videos. She said people who hurt others already dealing with a painful situation have "some kind of a mental health issue."

Before responding to the comment, Khan said she didn't feel hurt because of such remarks since she had already lived her worst nightmare. The mother believed nothing could hurt her more than losing her young child.

After reading the comment, Khan said her son underwent mental health counseling multiple times while receiving gender-affirming care. She added that the commenter could have watched her videos or researched this topic before trolling her.

In the video, Khan revealed her views on online hate, saying that the people who do it "hide behind faceless accounts" and follow what their politicians preach. She added that such people were cowards because they spread hate using fake usernames.

At the end of the video, Khan offered to give the commenter numbers of healthcare professionals who could help her battle her mental illness. According to Khan, the TikTok user's problem was that she was feeling good about herself after spreading hate.

After losing her son to suicide, Khan wanted to give hope to other children like her son. She revealed, "I've had so many transgender youths reach out to me and tell me, 'I wish I had a parent like you,' and, 'You've given me hope. I've been there. I felt like your son.'"

Receiving such remarks from the young generation gave Khan a purpose. Now, she wants to reassure children like her son that they aren't alone so they don't end up taking their lives like Kai did.
