Mum and Dad gone - I’m struggling

Hi, I just wanted to reach out today as I’m struggling.

My mum passed from gall bladder cancer in 2017 February. We just lost my dad in February 2019. I feel terrified, I am just not sure how to do it again so quickly. My mum was a wonderful woman, I was blessed to even know her. My dad was equally wonderful. Smart and visionary.

I have a few days off.  This time last year I would have been taking dad a drive, a wee spin, to talk about everything and anything. I don’t think I ever told him how much comfort he gave me. I’m sorry I just miss him terribly. Take care everyone, I know loss is different for everyone but I understand pain xxx

    My heart goes out to you. To have lost both parents so close together, there's no words. My dad passed in Feb too and I'm struggling so much this last week. He was the most loving person I know. Pain is indescribable. Just to say you're not alone, sending you a hug xx

    I am in the same situation as you. My Dad died in 2012 and then my Mum really unexpectedly in March this year   I am an only child with no other family from my side. I just keep getting moments of panic feeling of being alone.  So I completely understand how you are feeling. Sending hugs to you xx
