I lost my Mum a few months ago and finding life without her pretty hard, i lost my Dad 15 years ago and because i needed to make sure my Mum was ok at the time i feel like i I didn’t properly grieve him. Now it feels like ive lost them both at the same time.
Dear @Jane07
I apologise you have not had a response to your post. I am sorry for the loss of your mum and dad. Sometimes when we are looking after another parent we do not find time to grieve and it is not until the other parent passes it hits you. This is normal what you are experiencing and you are now grieving the loss of both parents.
