Lost my mom yesterday

I lost my mom last night. I always knew this was coming, but classically thought we had more time.

Watched her taking her last breath will haunt me.

Call your loved ones, spend time with them.

Be kind.

Lost my dad about 16 years ago. Was after a long illness and to be honest it was actually a release for him. I was there at the end too but for a good few years he hadn't been the man I knew as my dad. Mentally he was just alive but not really cognisant of the world around him.

I’m so sorry. I’ve lost both parents and I know I’m a grown ass woman, but I still feel like I’ve been orphaned. 🫂 It’s hard. Give yourself grace to grieve.

this is the feeling, even as an adult, losing both your parents leaves you feeling so untethered ❤️‍🩹

Untethered is exactly the right word. I always knew if life ever fucked me over, they’d have my back and support me. Now I’m terrified that when something inevitably happens I’ll just be in free fall.

Sorry for your loss, we still know/knew it's coming, never makes it easier.

Sorry for your loss. I lost mine to an aneurysm while she was asleep. Really sudden.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I lost my mom unexpectedly in 2021 and I honestly thought I would never recover, emotionally. The grief is overwhelming and feels like a sucking chest wound but it does ease up. Give yourself time and take comfort knowing you will survive this and it will be ok. I saw a grief therapist for a little while and it really helped with processing. God speed, my friend.
