Too much loss

Hi all,
I need suggestions please in terms of dealing with multiple loss. I turned 40 last August and in the last 18 months I have lost my mom, husband and then dad.
I now refer to myself in my head as a "worphan" (widowed orphan).
I'm really struggling with knowing that there is NO ONE on this planet who has my back the way that those three people did. It's very scary.

So sorry to read about your multiple losses. I don't know how to help but having lost my Mum I find this thread very helpful. Perhaps it would help you too?

I feel for you ballyclare. I have lost my Father, Mother and Daughter in the space of 3 years - DM & DD both died in 2016 albeit 9 months apart. Can't imagine what it would be like to not have a husband there to support me. Do you have any siblings?

bally I lost my mum 5 years ago, we were very very close. I lost my dear sister last year, again very close.

I understand completely the loss of people that give conditional love. I too myself am struggling with the fact that nobody else cares, or will care, like they did.

My ‘anchors’ are gone, and I’m finding it very difficult to cope.

I’m not much help, but I wanted you to know you are not alone with this feeling.Flowers

Sorry OP, that was UN conditional love!
