Loss of a Parent

Hi stardustwolf , and welcome. I am so sorry for your loss.

Grief is a very personal experience and can depend on the circumstances. My father died suddenly when I was 27 and my mother declined and died when I was in my 40s.

I found that the grief didn't all come out at the start and that it was important to talk about it, so I would encourage you to explore bereavement counselling if you think it might help you. There are all the practical things to do as well and I hope people around you will ease the burden. The pain does ease in time. Be gentle with yourself each day.

Hello leveller61 ,

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experiences of losing your father at a similar age to me, and your mother in your 40s. It's helpful to hear how different grief can be and how it can continue to unfold over time. I'm trying to take things one day at a time and give myself the space to process everything. I really appreciate your advice and encouragement.
