I Miss My Parent(s)

I created this group for people who may be grieving one or both parents. I lost my Mom and Dad within one year of each other. Dad passed away from Lung Cancer and Mom passed less than one year later from Pick's Disease.

I did not ever think the severe pain would go away. I was walking around in a fog for so long. I miss daddy so much I know a god took him home so he would not suffer anymore. My mom misses my dad so much to she said she feels guilty about telling him he could go. We all know he was suffering but we wish that he was here.

I totally agree with you both! Both my parents passed away just 11 days apart in Feb. 2013. I feel so incredibly sad. My heart aches. I miss them both so much . The double loss is sooo heartbreaking!!

Monique, I am right there where you are at. Some days are good and some days are bad it will be 4 months on the 12th. Ever since my dad passed I feel like I don't have a family anymore. My sisters and I used to all be close but now nothing. I don't know if everybody is hiding in their own grief. I worry about my mom but for me some days I want to hide away in a dark house and sleep all day. I miss my dad so much.

Life can be so hard at times. I have been grieving over my dad that I miss so much. I know he would not any of his kids hurting but it is hard not to. What is crazy is I manage a very busy tax office I finally had to take a swap I went to work at the main office so that way I could not have so much pressure. One of the woman I work with we are great friends. She had to be there all of January when I was having my bad days. Well what is weird is her husband died this past Monday. I feel for her but never expected her to go through what I was going through. So prayers for my friend Rita

Lorin - your view on the loss of your parents is inspiring. My day passed when I was 24 and my mom just passed and I feel like a 40 year old orphan. You are so right that I must celebrate their lives not mourn only the loss.

I know so many of these posts are a little old, but I can read these posts and try to gain strength from reading them. I miss my dad so much and I want to hide and guard my heart from ever hurting again like this. I guess I would say I'm a coward I'm so afraid of losing everybody else I love.

I lost my dad on December 12,2012 the pain is worse than when I caught my husband of 16 years cheating. I am trying so hard to be ok but I can't hold back my emotions.i know it's only going to be three months here on March 12th but it hurts the same as the day he died.
Comment by Lorin Cohen on February 10, 2013 at 8:38am

I to lost my mom within a year and a half of my dad.  It was so strange.  I had my parents for 46 years of my life.  We did so much together and I miss them terribly.  My dad passed in Jan of 2010 then mom in June of 2011.  Time has passed and the hurt I feel is less but I miss them terribly.  I don't think their age matters, my dad was 77 and my mom 70, so I think they were to young.  But for whatever reason it was their time.  I didn't realize it until time passed, but it is because of them that I stayed strong and was able to carry on.  I still can think of something or see something and cry.  That will never change.  We can only be grateful for their love.  The picture I have posted is my graduation from Strayer University in 2011 a couple months before mom died.  I always wanted to complete my degree and she was there to share that.  I am now completing my Master's degree and it is because of their support that I could do that.  So I don't grieve their loss - I celebrate their love!!!

I lost my mom a few weeks ago to Pancreatic Cancer. I miss her terribly, she was my best friend. I feel so alone even though I have a loving family.

Comment by Susan F. on September 30, 2011 at 6:57pm
My mom died in February from kidney failure, and my dad die 2 weeks ago from lung cancer.  I don't know what to do with all the grief.  I took care of them the last 2 years, and now my life feels so empty and I feel so alone.  I never grieved mom because I went from taking care of her to taking care of dad.  Now they're both gone and now I'm grieving both of them.  I know it's only been 2 weeks, but I'm not sure this pain will ever go away.

I saw God today!

I have been befuddled over the passing of the 10 year old boy that was hit by a car last week. My grandchildren were in my care all last week so there wasn't much time for deep thought. Npw that I am alone now I'm having lots of thoughts about it, so I went to the farm for a little distraction, plus the grass out there really needed cutting. I brought my dog Zero with me. Zero's getting old and I want him to have a good summer. Anyway Zero and I took a trip to the farm. I buzzed around cutting…See More

Losing Someone to Cancer

This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.See More
