I am feeling hopeless and scared. I am having nightmares every night.
No one seems to understand what I am going through. I miss them both so
much. More than I can seem to bear at times. I just want them back.
Sometimes I feel like this is all a bad dream and I am going to wake
up. I never wake up. My life is going down the drain. I don't know how
to help myself. I know I need help fast.

Oh, goodness. We're so glad that you posted, as reaching out here is a
good first step to helping yourself. This group seems to be so helpful
and sympathetic. What can I do to help you? I recently lost my mother
to cancer on February 5. If you would like to email me privately, feel
free to do so. (jennifer at jloboereeds dot com)

I know that you just want them back...that's natural, after losing them
both so recently. As one poster told me, all you need is one good
person to lean on for support. It's hard to reach out to people on
line, but if you don't have anyone that can help in real life, we in
the group will do what we can to help you. Just tell us what you need.
We are here for you.

Hang in there hon,
Everything seems so raw and cold right now. My mom died of lung cancer
in January..a little over a month ago. The first 2 weeks were the
worst, for me. I'm not to the point where I can think about her or tell
a little story about her and not feel really sad or cry, but I know
that day will come. In the meantime I am leaning on my friends and
family. I have always been the person they come to, so it's hard for me
to lean on them. I am trying and when I do, I feel better. This isn't
something you should do alone. Please find as many resources as you
can.
Seninding hugs your way,
Danielle

I lost both of my parents too. My dad in 1999, 47 of a heart
attack,and my mother earlier last month, 56, in her sleep unknown
causes. I'm so sad and depressed and shocked. Losing my dad was
horrible. Our family fell apart, especially my mother. We all picked up
the pieces and got super close. And now my mother is gone. I'm an
orphan with no parents. No one who will love me like they did. This
whole thing seems "Wrong", and I also feel like I can't wake up from
this nightmare. Words can't even describe how I feel. Sorry that you
lost both parents in such a really short time. It's hurtful.
Hopefully you have someone to lean on. I have my aunt and grandmother,
whom weren't really close until this happened. I'm so thankful for
them. Without them I'd probably get in my car and drive and drive and
drive to nowhere. :(

Paperdoll,

My father passed away on Fathers Day 2005, it has been 8 months and 6
days, on my drive to work I just begain crying for no real reason other
than just missing my father. It is a slow process, but it does get
better. The best way to help your self is to talk about it. Talk
about how you feel, how you miss them, even talk to them and let them
know how you feel, it is okay to hurt and even be mad. It is all part
of the process. If you need to talk you can always email me.
