Both my folks passed away these last two years. Nothing can help the grief except time.

How long?

I haven't gotten there yet.

Hugs.

As President Biden has said in the past, (paraphrasing) there will come a time when the memory of them will bring more smiles than sadness.

Be strong. You’ll need it.

I lost my father last October. He was 95 so it was a good run. Please let us know a bit about him if you would like to share some good memories.

All 4 of the parents for my wife & I died quite a while ago.
We can sympathize & empathize.
Take care.

It can be very stressful, but I hope you can remember all the good stuff and by going over it you will find some peace. It does get easier going forward. I lost both my parents within a couple years of each other so I understand. One foot in front of the other...every day. May you find happy memories to keep you. The love never leaves.

I have no children, so my most painful experience has been with the loss of my parents. Sending you hugs and light. Sometimes it just feels like somebody sucker punched you.

My dad was my hero...he died in 2011 and while I miss him every day, it does get easier. Grief is a strange animal. Be gentle with yourself right now.

For you all for the kind words, and messages of support...
My dad was my hero...
This is one of the hardest things I've truly had to do in my life
Time is indeed a healer, although this will probably be a wound that never heals, and you just learn to live with it.
