Sorry for the depressing title. My parents have both died, my mum at the beginning of 2020 unexpectedly from cancer. It was really tragic to see her decline so quickly. I was close to both of them, used to visit regularly and talk to my mum on the phone nearly every day, talking about everything going on in our lives. I have really tried to cope with my parents death but I miss them so much. I have a family but it's not the same as chatting to my mum about everything and laughing about lots of silly things. Somedays I feel fine but other days I feel I am completely sad in grief and drowning in work and life admin which I have less and less interest in. My mum was such a strong pillar of support. I feel completely empty without it. Please tell me how you cope with it all after both parents die? Starting a new demanding job and coming out of lockdown hasn't helped as now everyone including my partner is talking about seeing parents again and I feel like I'm putting on a brave face when I feel empty inside.
