Finally settled the estate

Newbie here. Lost my dad 10yrs ago and my mum 15months ago. Literally just settled the estate. I thought I was done with this grief thing, but it’s resurfaced again. I’m 62 and feel terrible - feel so stupid at my age and very insecure. I’m married, but I still feel insecure and stupid at my age

Hi, grief is a strange process. I lost my dad 11 years ago and mum 15 months ago. Im holding off buying my brother out of mum and dads old house because of the same feelings. The thought of it being “final” is a scary one, we have settled part of the estate but not everything. I admire your braveness for settling the estate in full. As the sense of loss resurfaces it’s like you have lost the things that were keeping you connected to your parents. Don’t ever feel silly or stupid for these feelings no matter how old you are it hurts. It’s a natural part of grief. I once read the harder it hurts the deeper the love for the person is. (Doesn’t just have to relate people either) Just know you’re not alone with these feelings, and there are people who can somewhat relate :slightly_smiling_face:
