Lost my dad 14 yrs ago and just lost my mom April 16, 2011.  Still in the "shock and unbelief" mode.  Situation is more difficult because I am estranged from my only sibling (younger brother).

I do feel like an orphan, with both of my parents gone. My mom was always there for me emotionally. No one can take her place.  I still love her very much.

I lost my mom in 2000 and my dad in 2007. My worst fear in the world was becoming an orphan. When my dad died it hit me that I no longer have parents and I was so sad because they won't get to see anything good that will happen in my life and it made me numb. And the numb feeling has never left me.

I lost my dad Oct. 22nd, 2009 to cancer. I lost my mom August 5th 2010 to murder. I was still grieving for my dad when my mom was brutally beaten, robbed, and stabbed to death. I am just trying to cope with the enormity of it all.

First let me say I did not know a group like this exsisted. I found it by accident and so glad I did. My heart goes out to ALL of you. I know how you feel..the pain is indiscribable!
I am a 51 year old Orphan. When I use that "term" people look at me so strangely. I know what they are thinking..51? Really? But I still want my parents..I still need them..
My brother was the golden child. They did everything for him..including paying his bills for him. Mortgage and everything even though he had a nice job at Ford's. Yet when my father was diagnosed with kidney failure it was me that became his caregiver. My family gave up so much for 7 years. My husband took an early retirement to help out. I suffered a heart attack from the stress, then my mom was diagnosed with dementia. When my dad became wheelchair bound 2 years before he died (May 30 ,2008) my oldest son came home early from work one night and said he had quit his job. I said "Oh No not in this economy you can't" He said he couldn't not..afterall Grandpa needed to be lifted so often and it was putting a major strain on my husband and my health. We moved in temporarily (we thought )to care for them. After my dad's death. my brother came to stay a few hours with mom so I could go "home" and get some things done. As we drove into our driveway,my brother called that mom had fallen and was on her way to the hospital. She broke her hip, from not being watched. She then basically wanted to die no matter what anyone said. She wanted to be with her beloved Joe. We had her physically for 5 months,mentally 3. I was the one that gave them their doses of morphine for the weeks before their deaths. I am the one that had to call the funeral homes..I became the parent to them. I can't get those last weeks out of my head. Mom used to say "There is a silver lining in everything, you have to find it" I thought, well my brother and I will be the only ones left so surely we will become close....He is suing me. I just feel sick. I feel like I am whining here. I am so sorry for that. I just don't know who to talk to...I know all of you have heart breaking stories and I am so sorry for them.

I started this group after suffering several losses. Last week it was the one year annv of my mom's death. It was very hard to lose her. My dad has been gone for over 5 years and I think of him and mom every single day.

I want to reach out to others who are experiencing similiar situations as mine too offer hope and support.

Sending you Love

I joined in yesterday. Yes and I am a 45 year old Orphan. My father passed away this pass Feb.22,2010 to an illness that I cannot spell. And my mom passed away Sept.27,1995. And my brother was killed by a drunk driver on October 25,1969 in Central Venezuela. S0 it is just me and myself and I now. And a very empty feeling indeed. The shock and the roller coaster ride is something else. But I will say this reading some of the post here. Sure has put a boost inside of me. Well I tell each and everyone this. Lets adopt each other. Reading each of your story's just blows me away. And for Bianca Mitchell unreal and my heart just bleeds for your loss.

When I saw this group I had to join. My father passed away March 5, 1999 and my mother passed away 2 weeks ago...I am 41 years old but one of my 1st thoughts that day was I am an orphan, then thought how silly are you for feeling that you are an adult. I am glad that others have had this thought and feel the same as I do, and that it was so silly after all.
