Hi all
I’m only in my early forties and I’ve lost both parents to diverstateing circumstances that I have struggled to deal
With , the constant questions that keep coming back to me is why was it there time , how do I learn to live with their loss
And why so sudden
In the last 8 years I’ve have 11 deaths to cope with and the grief is overwhelming
But nothing has compared to losing both parents
I find explaining by writing like this hard so if I repeat things I’m sorry
