Hello Samantha.  I dont know what I can say to you ?.  My lovely wife passed from cancer following a Bowel operation in September 2014, we had been married 22 years.  I meet people when walking our Yorkie pup who lost their husbands or wives,  after years of being together.  I wrote a letter to my local paper about grief from the left behind spouses point of view, and in tribute to my wife, would you like to read it ?.....

I am so sorry for your loss, Samantha. I can sympathize with the feeling that it is terribly unfair to lose a parent at a young age, I cannot imagine the pain of losing both. Sometimes the world can feel exceedingly cruel. I am not sure anything we say can help to make you feel better, only that you aren't alone in your feelings of grief. xx

Thank you for your kind words. I hate that I'm not alone. No one should feel this way. I know it's part of life. But it hurts alot.

I am truly sorry for your losses Samantha and Michael! My dad died 1st and my mom died within 1 year and a week of my dads passing.  Having no parent's is not an easy situation at all.  The two year anniversary of my moms passing is coming up next month.  I cannot believe she has been gone for nearly two years. I also cannot imagine losing my husband either, so I feel for you both.  My best to you Samantha & Michael.
