It's not awkward at all, completely natural. What happened? Is everything okay from your side?

I lost my dad 23/11/89 he was buried a week later and unfortunately also my mum on my daughters birthday 10/4/2019. My mum bless her things wasn't straightforward she had 2 have a post mortem it took 5 weeks and 5 days 20/5 2 bury her.I had the hospital and the funeral parlour advising me 2 keep her coffin closed as my mum has sadly deteriorated

I'm sorry about what you are going through. I can't even comprehend how difficult these past few months must have been for you. Please stay strong and keep going.

RIP to your mom and dad.

Feel free to leave me an inbox if you need someone to talk to.

You never get over loosing a loved one and why should you.
Like the idiom 'time is a great healer' suggests and is applicable to numerous things.
Grief will get easier with time.

My fella died in bed beside me 22 months ago, suddenly and unexpectedly, after major surgery for bowel cancer. His cancer was gone. Nobody expected him to die. He was cured and had started chemo three days before as a preventative measure. He took our dog for a walk at 11.30pm. By 12.10am he'd died beside me. I probably would've hidden away from talking about death before this happened. I probably didn't understand grief..... Life is a silly old journey. And the more we travel, the more we learn, and the more we talk. Its all good. Eventually. I honestly don't believe, from experience, that grief gets easier. It just feels different as time moves on.

People die, all the time. It's rarely your problem but the closer they are to you, the bigger a hole they leave behind.

I fill that with a summary of why they were there. What they stood for, what i learnt from them.

And i can then keep my focus on those still here. They're not permanent either.

ive lost both my parents now its devastating at first with time it gets easier but allways stays with you was especially hard for me as an only child i think of them every day at some point of the day but life goes on knowing they were the best

I am so sorry,i cant bear the thought of losing a parent xx

I lost my partner to bowel cancer nearly four years ago.also my previous partner in his sleep.inbox me if you would like to talk xx

As hard as it is you just have to accept it because there is nothing you can do, you have to focus on those that are still with us

I know it happens 2 everybody eventually and it's still early days I've got some of my parents things at mine I just look around in disbelief. My mum's wishes was 4 her house 2 b sold the money doesn't mean anything 2 me what so ever I was one when they moved in their.I feel like everything has been taking away from me.

Just shows how much they really meant to you. Loosing people you hold dear leaves a big hole and can leave you feeling truly heartbroken and raw for some time.

It's an awful time for anyone to go through, leaving big hole in your life, good days and bad days but gradually over time the bad days get fewer.respect and space should be given to those left behind. Don't stop talking to people, though many people are not sure what to say.

I don't intend 2 stop talking 2 people and you are a great bud 2 me homer1 it's just difficult at times 4 me 2 handle things I broke down in tears again 2 day it's still early days I don't know if their is life after death my mum's reunited with my dad again bless them both

Unfortunately life is not forever !
Everyone needs to tell their friends and loved ones how dear they are. It's quite easy to do and can be only a good thing for everyone.

so sorry.
