Loss of parent and grandparent


Recommended Posts

I am 29 I lost my dad at 16 and this Jan the 15th I lost my mother in a accident and Never got a chance to say goodbye. Then the 15th of May I lost my grandmother she was a role model and I was brought up by her for the first 4 years of my life so I thought of her as my mother

You've experienced more significant loss in your 29 years than most people have, my dear, and my heart reaches out to you. I am so sorry. I hope you are surrounded by the support you need and deserve ~ and you most certainly will find some of that right here, in this warm and caring place. Welcome

I am so sorry.  I don't know if you have any siblings, aunts, uncles, or if this leaves you alone, but I hope you have some family to be there for you as you go through this.  You have lost three very significant people in your life at a very young age...it's harder when it compounds like that.  It will be important that you grieve each one individually.

I'm glad you have someone in your life, congratulations on your engagement!  I know, it's so hard to not be able to share these special moments with you mother, I like to think they're watching and aren't missing out on it.  I don't know how it works, but I know their spirits exist still and they don't have the physical bodies right now, so who knows but maybe they can get around.  I've learned to accept whatever brings me comfort, if that's delusional, don't tell me. :)
