My dad passed away yesterday,he was in a home with Parkinson's . It was very sudden and not related to this horrible virus . I just lost my lovely mum last year and now my wee dad.i didn't think it was possible to feel any worse after losing my mum but I do. I just keep thinking I don't have a mum and dad to go to in times of need or someone always in my corner. I know people are a lot worse off than me but my god it hurts and how do I keep going again . Sorry feeling sorry for myself .

Have you got someone with you at home? 💐

I’m SO sorry xx

That feeling of being alone & not having someone you know will always be in your corner is devastating. I was quite shocked as a 40 yo to feel like that.

Big hugs 🌷

You must be devastated! I'm so sorry for your losses.

Do you have any siblings? Aunts? Etc. I know it's not nearly the same as the bond you had with your parents but having other familial ties can be a huge source or comfort and support.

Your emotions will also be heightened at the moment (if it's possible to feel worse) due to the current situation and not being able to see anyone else and grieve together.

There really is nothing that anyone can say, you just have to take one day at a time and try to focus on the here and now. Don't dwell on the past and don't think about the future, keep your mind in the present and do what you need to do to get through each day.

You will start to feel stronger in time but it's a process that can't be rushed x

So very sorry for your loss, foxyknoxy30

Don't downgrade your own feelings in the context of others' losses. This is you. Your dad. You have every reason to feel sorry for yourself. It is horrible for you.

Thanks

So sorry for your losses. Grieving is not feeling sorry for yourself. Allow yourself to grieve and be kind to yourself x

I'm so sorry OP. My mum and dad died weeks apart. I was 33 and pregnant. It's awful to feel that you're so alone. It will be 3 years this year and it still upsets me. X
