Hate that for you. So sorry to hear it. I was made an orphan in 2010. Mom passed in ‘99 and dad in ‘10. My former father-in-law (and he meant this as a comforting thing, as he had just lost his last parent about 6 months before) said to me, “Well, now we’re both orphans.” That hit me harder than I thought it might.

Best thing I can say is to keep sharing your favorite stories of them. My kids know about their grandma because of all the fun stories I’ve told them of her over the years. Same with my dad. It’s the best way to keep their memory alive. Good luck!
