I have had multiple losses over the last few years. My father passed away 4 years ago from cancer and my mother lost her battle to cancer a little over a month ago. I feel so alone, so empty, so sad. I spent so much of my time caring for them, absorbed with thier care and trying to find closure to my life with them that I feel so out of sorts with myself. I am not married, do not have children either. I worked during the time I cared for them and finished up a doctoral degree shortly before my mom passed. I feel like now that both my parents are gone, I am alone. I know that I didn't make a decision on putting some of my life on hold to care for them, but right now the feeling of emptiness and lonliness are overwhelming. All I can do is cry everyday and it's a deep painful cry that feels like it is endlessly flowing. There is no relief from the sadness and the loss. I feel crazy and run down. I try to be good to myself and tell myself that I am human and that I have been through a lot the last few years, but it doesn't seem to help. I am anxious to feel better, feel alive again and yet nothing I do seems to make it any better. I feel like I am dying inside, like life is escaping me while everyone else around me seems to be unphased by what I am going through. This is more maddening. Does anyone have any advice or can anyone relate?
