Hello @Claire202715 ,

I’m so very sorry to read that you have lost both your mum and dad in the space of 7 months. That is extremely difficult and the way you are feeling is completely understandable, particularly given how close you were to your mum.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m just giving your thread a gentle, “bump” for you - hopefully someone will have some thoughts to share :blue_heart:

Take good care,
Megan

Hi there sorry that you have lost both your parents in such a short space of time. I lost my mother many years ago i was 13 and she was only 43. I built such a strong relationship with my Dad and he passed 8 weeks ago very quick diagnosed with cancer in August and passed in September. Having no parents feels so lonley. They are the ones who provided unconditional love and to have that gone is so painful. Hope the commuinty on here can offer some support. I joined in hope that i can relate to others who feel the same so i dont feel so lonley.
