I Miss My Parent(s)

I created this group for people who may be grieving one or both parents. I lost my Mom and Dad within one year of each other. Dad passed away from Lung Cancer and Mom passed less than one year later from Pick's Disease.

It's the harsh reality of life but it can kill you from within.

As a child I saw my mother in bed for 17 years and after a prolonged illness she passed away in 2002. My father has been my rock solid support system and has been the pillar of strength for me…Continue

So, I've lost both parents in the last 10 months.  Just lost my mom (both unexptected) in the last month.  IN addition, both my brothers have brain injuries, so I'm the primary caregiver at this…Continue

Hello everyone! I lost my dad last August to prostate cancer,
and I just lost my mom six weeks ago to Leukemia. My dad battled
cancer for several years, but my mom didn't last a year. She was my best friend. I cannot believe the pain I feel daily. Stephanie, I am like you, I too am scared of losing everyone
that I love and hold dear. I never imagined being on earth w/o my parents. Sometimes I feel so lost, and sleep is not easy like before. I keep telling myself they are not coming back! It hurts.

Dana, I'm so sorry that really sucks. I lost my mom Dec 27,2012 and I still cry. Your right life will never be the same, its a huge loss when its both parents.

I have no support group now that I lost my parents.  They were my biggest cheerleaders throughout all the ups and downs.  Life will never be the same.

I did not ever think the severe pain would go away. I was walking around in a fog for so long. I miss daddy so much I know a god took him home so he would not suffer anymore. My mom misses my dad so much to she said she feels guilty about telling him he could go. We all know he was suffering but we wish that he was here.

I totally agree with you both! Both my parents passed away just 11 days apart in Feb. 2013. I feel so incredibly sad. My heart aches. I miss them both so much . The double loss is sooo heartbreaking!!

Monique, I am right there where you are at. Some days are good and some days are bad it will be 4 months on the 12th. Ever since my dad passed I feel like I don't have a family anymore. My sisters and I used to all be close but now nothing. I don't know if everybody is hiding in their own grief. I worry about my mom but for me some days I want to hide away in a dark house and sleep all day. I miss my dad so much.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
