Next month will be the first anniversary of my Mum’s death 
and July will be the first of my Dad’s . Having lost both my parents within nine weeks of each other this has understandably been the hardest most painful year of my life. Like everyone else my grief is always present, but sometimes is more difficult than others. I had the most unbelievable counselling from the Sue Ryder Charity and really felt I was on an easier path. I’m not sure whether all things Mother’s Day, my 50th birthday coming up, my Mum and Dad’s birthdays and anniversaries, but I feel I’ve taken a real backward turn in his I’m coping with my grief. Sometimes I feel a slight panic that I am parentless which I hadn’t previously noticed. I’m a resilient person and know I’ll be ok, but I just wanted to reach out to see if there’s anyone else out there who can relate. We’re all members of this “Club” now, a Club I never wanted to be part of, but have found reassuring and comforting through this last year. Thank you x
Hello @Fifi73 ,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your parents and so close together how difficult that must have been for you. 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.
Take good care,
Alex
Thank you for sharing this.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My condolences.
I can’t really compare my situation to yours.
It must be so difficult losing both of your parents especially so close in time.
I’m really sorry and i hope you stay strong.
Im 19 and lost my father 2 months ago, he was just 51 years old.
I also have no idea how to cope with the death of a loved one. All i can say is, you’re not alone.
I hope it will get better with time.
Just remember you’ll always carry parts of both of them with you. You are pieces of your mother and father.
Take care x
