I'm sorry for your loss; I think when you have a child (or children) you mourn not only for the loss of your parent but also for the loss of your child's grandparent. It's a disorienting, sad time. My thoughts are with you.

You can't fill a cup with no bottom.

I'm so very sorry for your loss, LadyV. Both my parents and my darling more-like-a-mother Nana, as well. The feeling of being an orphan hits one pretty hard. Be kind to yourself for however long it takes to feel like yourself again. (((LadyV)))

One step at a time. One foot in front of the other, all those platitudes are all too true. For me, I found the pain was truly eased by time, and the painful memories were quickly(!) replaced by happy ones.

Allow yourself time to grieve. Do the crying you need to, without apologies. Take time for you and lean on whoever you can, IRL and here.

Hugs. SK

I'm so sorry for your loss LadyV !

I have lost both parents and I will always miss them as you will your Dad.

ETA: Hold on to the precious memories. I have started to write down many of them for my DD40. My Dad has been gone 19 yrs and Mom for 7 yrs. When writing, the tears flow, I laugh out loud, and just feel so lucky I had the parents I did.

Big Hugs

I'm so sorry to hear this.

Another parentless person here. There really is nothing like that kind of void.

My heart breaks for you.
