Lost both of my parents

Losing a parent
1

My dad passed away in April 2026 and exactly 28 weeks later my mum has now passed away. I feel completely numb and feel like there is no point carrying on

I am so sorry for your loss.

Do you have siblings to help support you in this sad time?

My brother passed away 26 years ago, my wife passed away in 1995, we were only married for two years. My friends have all passed away too. I don’t understand why I have been left behind​:sob:

Hi @Jon58,

So sorry to hear of the loss of both of your parents. I lost both my parents 15 months apart. My mum passed in Dec 2024 and my dad on March 2026. It’s a lot to take in. Please be kind to yourself and take the time to grieve and heal. The grief stays but you will find a way to keep moving forwards. Use this site when you need to - people on here understand. Take care x

Thank you Granzi and I am so sorry for your loss. My mum and dad were my world and losing them both in the space of 28 weeks is so difficult to take in. Have been told that the pain will subside with time but I just don’t think that will happen. Perhaps it’s all still too raw at the moment I guess I will have to wait and see.

Sending you a hug Jon, for support. This group has been a shoulder for me to cry on when I’ve needed it, as I’m in the same sad boat too. Both parents and no family left. I didn’t lose them as close as you have but now, having to be an adult, and not someone’s child, and making decisions on your own has been so hard for me.

I am sending you a hug as sometimes it’s just the thing you need to keep going.

Take care Jon :people_hugging:
