Lost both parents

Hello everyone.  I am new to this group and I'm glad I found it because I am hoping that it will help me get through my grieving process.  I am very distraught because in February of this year I saw my daddy battle and die of cancer and in June, 4 months after he was gone, my mom decided to join him in Heaven.  My world is shattered and I dont know how to cope with this grief.  I was very close to both of my parents and I saw them everyday and now I have nowhere to go and no one to talk to.  My heart went with them when they left and the world is now so dark and gloomy to me.  I need to talk to others that are going through the same thing that I am going through because no one else understands.

    I lost my only brother, my only sibling,4/14/23. I am the sole survivor of my family of origin. Our father passed away in 2010 and our mother passed away in 2020 (non-covid related), I am grateful that my brother was able to help me grieve those losses, I am really struggling as to how I grieve his loss without him. I am “only” 52 and to think of the rest of my life without anyone left who remembers me as a baby, or the stories we shared with and without our parents, to not have one of the 3 left if I need to talk, need help, or guidance or just to share joy with anymore. Not many people truly understand where I am coming from, because most people my age still may have both parents, or 1 parent, all of their siblings or some of their siblings. There’s just some solace even as a 52 year old woman to know there was one person on the planet that knew my back-story and would always have my back no matter what, in a way only a parent or sibling can. Sometimes when I think about the gravity of this loss, the pain and loneliness take my breath away. Most of the information I can find on-line is geared to elderly people who have lost their last sibling. I haven’t been able to find much coping info on mid-lifers or younger who find themselves as the “last ‘man’ standing” of their family of origin, so to speak. I hope more people will join that I can connect with, no one really understands what this is like.
    Thank you,

    Erin
