Hi all. I am new to this community although not new to grief. I lost my Dad to cancer in June 2023 (he was 68) then I lost my Mum 3 months later to cancer again (aged 58). Time has gone on and it still feels so hard. I havent come across many people who have lost 2 loved ones so close and it feels super lonely. I’m only 35 and it feels like a long time left without them 
if anyone has been through the same thing I’d love to chat

Hello @Kelloggs,
Thank you for bravely starting this thread. I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum and dad - that is devastating.
You are not alone. Sadly, many of our members have experienced the loss of both their parents and will understand some of what you’re going through. @Kerrylou925 started this thread a few days ago about her mum and dad - maybe you can connect with each other.
@Heather_28 also talks about the loss of her parents close together on this thread. They’re 37, which is close in age to you.
You might also find these Sue Ryder resources helpful:
-
Our Grief Guide self-help platform which has information, resources and advice to help you through your grief
-
Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through.
I hope you find the community a support to you. Take good care and keep reaching out,
Seaneen
