OMG Jeff R, I could not of said it better myself as an "only!"
being an adult "orphan' is a big adjustment, particularly for us "onlies"...there's a deep sense of loneliness that never really goes away...
Danny you are right about the gap between both parents. It seems like I either hurt bad or feel so numb. Rachel, I do the same thing, I can be anywhere and I will think "I need to call mom."
then it hits me, I can't. I know we all have to go on, it is just hard.
boabie i feel you, i really do...i lost both my parents and think about my mom every day,wanting tojust grab the phone and call, you will be fine,keep hanging in there
I can see where you are coming from Boabie. One thing you touched upon and not really talked about is the gap between both parents. It hurts big time. And sometimes it does'nt because the numbness comes back.
I cannot come to grips with the fact that not only my dad is gone (last year)but now my mom is gone (late August this year). I feel so much like an orphan, being an only child. My family is trying to be patient with me. I work full time, and sometimes like today, I cannot go in. I am either stressed, up all night unable to sleep thru the night, or full of grief. I have come to terms that my mom & best friend is not coming back. But it still hurts so bad! I need this site to express my feelings. Sometimes it is all just unbelievable!
I think all of us don't really know what to say anymore to some degree. I just came back from having a minor sports injury checked out and I always balk at answering the question about whether my parents are alive and, if not, how they died. While dad is fine B"H, I never really know how to answer when it comes to mom.
I'm sorry I feel bad and selfish. Just been reading comments and not contributing. My grief just seems to be getting worse (my mom died last Dec) and I just don't seem to be able to reach out to anyone on here. I don't really know what to say to anyone on here anymore either.
Pick one or two close contacts to talk about this, especially if they are the type who know a bit about grief.
