I have helped applicants write this type of essay and the subject is very moving. How a young person manages to continue on in the face of such a big loss makes for compelling reading. There are no rules that essays have to be “happy,” sometimes, sadder stories can tell a lot about a person. Same with funny essays… if that describes a person, then I would advise them to go with it. If kids can forget about how they will sound to admissions officers and simply write from their heart, the essay will likely stand out.
