I've lost both as well. It's an awful feeling isn't it? I'm sorry for your loss...hope you can find some peace.

I lost my father when I was 8 years old. This resulted in my being even closer to my mother than I think I would have been otherwise. I was blessed to have had her in my life for another 40+ years, until she passed on Sept. 3, 2011. I feel orphaned - which is pretty silly if you consider my age. It is never easy to lose a parent.

Thank you both. I lost my father when I was 12 and my mother when I was 15. They were difficult losses to take at such a delicate time in life.
