I joined this online community last year soon after my mother passed away. Her passing was quite sudden and I have found it difficult navigating life since losing my mum.
A month ago, 15 months after my mum has passed away, my father has now passed away. My father had been ill for over 3 years and had been in a nursing home.
My parents divorced many years ago. Despite this I am finding it very hard losing both parents so close together.
I am not sure how to manage the loss of both parents.
I’m Alex, and I just wanted to reach out and say how truly sorry I am that you’re going through so much. Experiencing multiple losses can feel incredibly heavy, and it’s completely understandable if you’re finding it hard to cope right now. Please know that you’re not alone in feeling this way.
Many people in our community have faced more than one bereavement, and while every experience is unique, there can be comfort in hearing from others who understand the exhaustion that can come with grieving more than one person. You might find it helpful to read through some of their posts here.
This community is here for you - whether you want to talk, ask questions, or simply be heard. You are not alone.
