Members DKB Posted November 18, 2020 Members Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 I lost both my parents just six hours apart from one another, back in February. We were extremely close and this is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with in my life. I miss them so much I can’t even begin to put it into words. Here it is nine months later and I still have times where it doesn’t feel real to me. It is still very overwhelming. It seems as though the holidays and special days once celebrated are some of the tougher times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reader Posted November 19, 2020 Members Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Dear DKB, It's devastating going through the grief of losing two parents so close together. It is normal to feel like we've entered another dimension after losing them. Nothing feels the same and it's very hard. You're so right that holidays and special days are especially hard. I hope you'll surround yourself with loving friends and family that can help with these moments. Having someone to talk to makes a big difference. For additional supports, I found this forum and others at Grief Healing Blog, What's Your Grief, and Grief in Common also very helpful. Please know we are with you.

Members Zee24 Posted December 5, 2020 Members Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Dear DxB, I am so sorry for your loss. Holidays, special times, good and bad, everything just reminds you of everything that is gone. I can understand that it doesnt feel real, it doesn’t for it is unlike any other loss. Irreparable. Please keep talking about your feelings and dont bottle or suppress them. Thinking of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DKB Posted January 18, 2021 Author Members Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I made it through the holidays, boy was it hard! I am still consumed by grief, and it is coming up on the year anniversary of their deaths, which I can tell already is going to be a tough time, basically the worst day of my entire life! I just do not know how to get past this. They say time heels all wounds, and for me this has been true up till now, Thanks for everyone’s thoughts!
