Loss of both within 2 years

[Nicsd]

I'm 27 years old. Last christmas we lost my mum after a long battle with cancer. Less then a week ago we lost my father. It was out of nowhere, with no warning, and the coroner cannot find a reason for it. Me and my boyfriend were talking about getting married, we were going to start a family, and neither of them will be there.

I just don't understand. Two years ago I had them both, now I have no parents. And I just can't handle it. I don't know what to do

Dear Nicsd,

I am very sorry for your loss. It is extremely hard to lose both parents in such a short time. It is horribly sad and shocking. Please know you are not alone.

If you want to always know there are supports in the community. Some people find it helpful to talk to a grief counsellor or join a support group through church. I know its not easy.

I also found some of these websites helpful in coping with my grief.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I am trying to figure out how to navigate the same thing.  My mom passed away last summer, my dad this fall - both from different kinds of cancer.  I haven't even started processing my dad not being here.  I am a single parent with 3 boys, and now it's just me for them.  I can't even think about how the holidays will look this year.  I expect milestones will be hard.  I wish I had answers for you, but unfortunately I don't.  I did want to post still and tell you -- you aren't alone.

Nicsd,

I’m so sorry for your life altering losses. That is so hard to comprehend and to not have an answer must be so painful and confusing. Praying for peace for you and love to surround you. My heart goes out to you.
