I'm so sorry for your loss.
It is definitely a very tough thing to go through.
Just think- your Mom and Dad are in a better and more peaceful place. They will always be with you in your heart.
My condolences go out to you and your family, glocke12.
 
I'm very sorry for your loss, and wish you all the strength you need to cope with it in the years to come.

Like others in this thread I know how it feels too, my mother died from cancer 9 years ago when I was 19. It took me years to somehow get over it, now I don't remember the bad times but remember her strength and that she was a wonderful mom.

My girlfriend lost both parents because of cancer with 2 years in between, I didn't know her when her father died but was with her when her mother died almost 3 years ago, we only have my dad now... and he tries pretty good to fill his role as the only parent left.

You are not alone and I wish you and your family all the best.
 
My sympathies, glocke12.

It's especially harsh that both deaths happened around your birthday. I hope that's not the way you're going to think of the day when it comes around every year.

Best advice: keep busy. Hang around with friends. Lean on them a lot; that's what they're there for. Occupy your mind with other things as much as possible in the coming days. Believe me, it beats sitting around by yourself, getting even more depressed.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss, I know that at this time, it will not sound like much help, but time will help.

My mother died when I was 21, and it took me ages to get over it, but even now I still have memories of her to keep me company, and I know that she is watching me from somewhere.
 
My condolences as well. It's very sad to hear her death was caused by complications from a surgery. That is a tough one.
She and your dad are now reunited so you may be able to gather some peace from that.
There will be tough days ahead, but you will get through them.
 
I'm truly sorry for your loss. It is terrific that you had managed to build and nurture what was obviously a wonderful and deeply cherished relationship with them both. To call someone both parent and close friend is something to be celebrated and cherished. You are fortunate.

Treasure the bank of memories you have undoubtedly built up over a loved lifetime together and draw upon it as you need, for it will help you. I know it's a cliche, but time does help in healing, or reducing the initial sense of shattering and distressing loss.

I, too, was close to both of my parents as an adult and they were both best friends. We lost my dad to cancer three years ago - still a gaping hole in our lives, but I am lucky I still have my mom, and we remember the love and laughter we shared with dad.

Good luck and look after yourself and remember your own needs in this heart-breaking time. I do know what you are going through and my thoughts, sympathy and warmest wishes are with you.

Cheers
 
I've never lost any close relatives (testament to not having much family to begin with), but you have my sincerest condolences. I can't begin to imagine how tough this time is for you..

I give my best regards; I do hope you will heal soon and cope well. I'm very sorry for your loss.
 
Sorry to hear that.

But hang on in there. I now this isn't the best time to say it but everything happens for a reason. You'll find the reason in the future.
 
I am so sorry to hear of your loss(es). Please take comfort in the closeness you shared; I'm sure they felt so lucky to have you as their child.

Know that there is no time window for grief -- take all the time that takes. Never forget them.
