Losing both parents close together

I lost my dad on 27th June and mum 9th July and I’ve been doing ok but recently feel overwhelmed, lost and anxious. I don’t know if this is normal that it happens a few months after their death or just delayed grief

Hello @Sharonlm,

Thank you for so bravely reaching out. I’m so sorry to hear about your mum and dad. That is a lot to cope with in such a short period of time.

We have a support page called, “How long does grief last” which talks you through what you might feel in the months and years after your losses. It might help to know that feeling anxious and overwhelmed is normal and you’re not alone.

You might also want to connect with @MelodyBlue who also sadly lost both their parents in a short space of time. They shared their story here:

The community is here for you, whether you want to chat, ask advice or just get something off your chest.

Take care,
Seaneen

@Sharonlm wow yes I do feel your pain it’s the toughest thing I certainly have gone through & sound alike maybe for you too. Sending out a huge hug :hugs: it can’t change anything but I’m sending the love :sparkling_heart: from one stranger to another​:two_hearts:, which I hope can give you a tiny glimmer of hope that we can all get by together, somehow :face_blowing_a_kiss:xxx
