My Dad passed away last week and I’ve been struggling with grief. I didn’t realise I wouldn’t just be mourning him, but I’d also be mourning for myself, the person I was before this happened. Has anyone else experienced this feeling?

Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.

Hello.
I lost my mum in August last year and life has changed beyond recognition. I am heartbroken without her.
I think we grieve for our loved ones but we also grieve for the future we thought we had. It’s so hard to come to terms with a life without them in it.
Sending you my support
Phoebe.

So very sorry and yes. it is the worst chapter and transformative as now we really are adults, on our own without them.
Not having parents to care for you, no matter the age, is the bridge we must cross in life, as we are always their baby.
It really stinks. Furthermore, you find the rest of the world just sees you as another adult going around, not the beloved child you were. I am really sorry. It all just cannot be helped. Plus, they are not longer there to rescue you.
