I wonder if I'm alone in this one. I know a lot of people here have lost parents but I wonder if I'm the only one who has lost both. Car accidents and such will sometimes take both parents but I wonder if anyone has lost a parent, held onto the second one so dearly, then lost them too. I'm an only child and I have no one to share my experience with. It's a heavy load and wanted to see if anyone else has a similar one to carry.

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.

I feel orphaned too and am in my forties. I'm so sorry for your loss.

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.

You are not alone.I lost my father when i was 23 i was in the middle
of my college final year exams he was 61. I am in my early 30's
and just lost my mom 3 weeks ago she was 64.

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
