so i’m 34 now but don’t think i’ve ever truly dealt with the grief properly, it comes and goes but i think about them all time. Especially as i have 2 young kids now. i just wish they had a chance to meet them. don’t know what i’m expecting from this tbh, but just felt nice to get it off my chest somewhere, thanks again to anyone that reads.
I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s really hard. Young kids are great for making us keep going through grief, but parenting doesn’t then leave much time to actually deal with the grief itself. It’s so hard to know they’re not going to grow up knowing some of the most important people to us, but as someone told me you can keep them alive in memories and talking about them. I actually see so much of my mum in my little girl, and she loves to hear that. I’m not sure how much you talk to them about your parents, but perhaps telling stories of happy times with them might help.
I know it’s tough, but try and make time for you too. Sending love.
