lost both parents

[Edzii]

I had lost both of my parents. My father was passed away in 2007 and my mum passed away just after three years from my dad's death, for me its a total shock and heartbroken situation. Does any one have faced such situation?

I lost my father in 1995, and my mother died a year ago last August. It feels strange to have both of my parents gone.

Look around you.....how many people do you know that have lost both parents? The older you get, the greater this number gets.

At some point, everyone you know will have lost both parents. This is life. You learn to carry on, regardless.

So to answer your question....YES. a lot of people have faced a similar situation.

My mother died on '92 and my dad died in '04. So yes, I am an adult orphan.

My father died in 1968 just a week after his 46th birthday.
My mother died in 1978 at 53 ... so I've been an 'adult' orphan most of my adult life now ... but losing my older brother hit me harder for some reason ... maybe because I knew him longer than my parents ....

My dad died 4 years ago and I miss him more than words can express; I was a "daddy's girl" for sure! It is truly heartbreaking. I find it helpful to keep my dad's memory alive through exemplifying his values, humor, love of Christ, family, and mankind. I want to carry on his legacy. Think of how you could carry on your parents' legacy and then go do it with a strong, peaceful heart.

(((HUGS))) to you, ceg. I can understand your brother's death hitting you harder.

I lost my father when I was 11, and my mum when I was 13. They were 53 and 45, respectively. So yes, I understand how hard it is. Thankfully I had a wonderful grandmother who brought me up after we lost my mum. Gran passed away in 2009.

My deepest sympathies to all on this thread who have lost beloved family members. Just remember, you may never stop feeling the pain, but it will become gentler with time.

I've also lost both of my parents. My mom died in 1982 (44) and my dad in 1994 (61). My mom's been dead so long that I don't remember what it was like to have her here. I'm getting there with dad too. Just seems like they've always been gone. There's still a hole where they belong but it's normal to have that hole.

Sorry for your loss. It is hard.
