Losing a parent

My dad died 22 years ago when I was 16 but my mum sadly passed away this morning. Not sure how I feel currently.

How do we get through after losing a parent? I took a video of my kids playing in the garden today and realised I had no-one to send it to

sorry to hear this Greg, try & keep the video until your kids are old enough to appreciate it themselves mate.

Super sad to hear this news. Can’t begin to imagine how tough it is. No answers for you, just my sympathies and a virtual hug.

Condolences.
My mum died 17 years ago. On the whole you just keep going and time heals. But at key moments it comes back. This week I videoed my daughter walk the stage at her graduation and then couldn't send it to my mum

. So everyone else got it instead !

It’s different to your loss but i lost my mrs when i was 36, you gradually learn to live with it and carry on with life.

Although I’m old and grey I still miss my old mum who died eight years ago.
I would say that you will always get a bit watery eyed at times, it’s only natural and nobody with think less of you.

Just try and remember the good times with respect and fondness,

It's hard but you just get through the best you can and time slowly lightens the grey weight pushing on your shoulders. No consultation for you, but my mum also died recently. The reason I pulled out of the national meet in fact. I just could not face driving up North past her old flat, so soon after. Stick in there, life will never be quite the same, but the weight will lift and you and your family will push the next generation forward.

Very sad news Greg.

It's just over 20 years since my Dad passed away, but I still remember felling mostly just numb for the first week or so.

Then it starts to sink in, and you just deal with each day one at a time.

Wishing you all the best.

I had lost both of my parents by 1979, so can i suggest you hang on to your memories and they will live on inside you.

Sorry to read of your loss. As RONK writes try to remember the good times. It will get easier in time but right now it won’t feel like that.
