Yes, sweetie, unfortunately I think your feelings are very normal. Losing both of your parents is bad enough, without losing them so close together.You didn't even have time to grieve for your Mom when you also lost your dear Dad, so it is very understandable that you are having such a hard time.
I don't believe that time heals our wounds either, but I do believe that we learn to live with our pain in a better way, in order for us to get through each day.
It's okay to still be grieving and crying, and just plain feeling sad. If you didn't have such wonderful parents, it may be easier for you, but you had two awesome parents, and although you are very fortunate for that, it just makes this all that much harder. You are in my thoughts and prayers, as always.
love u lots,
donna

time takes forever hun you are allowed to be sad just be aware of how sad you get and then make sure you get loads of hugs from the kids around you!!!

Hi there friend, I was wondering where you were. I can see that you are having rough times. Friends and family will be there if you fall. I know, it's not the same and not what you want, me neither. But you have family and good friends here. If you called me tomorrow and said I need help, I would be on my way. Not joking, but then you would have a house guest to feed! lol. I am taking Xanax when I get real anxious and panic. I take a low dose and only when I need it. Do you take anything like that? Somedays I just go through the motions. Nothing is normal anymore. Normal used to be, for me, when everything was going along good for everyone in my life and nothing really bad ever happened to any of us. Sorry for the long message and not being much help except to say that I understandand it's ok. Love ya friend, Debbie
