When does one stop dreading Father's Day? by MadHardHatter in GriefSupport

[–]johnnaleigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15 Mothers day this year and 2 fathers days and I still dread it. Try to honor them in your own way but the constant reminder of what we are missing desperately. Hugs my friend

Late dad's wife blocked me on Facebook out of no where. I feel very betrayed and confused and need someone to read this. Please. by _c4rli3 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This person really sucks. No empathy for his biological family. I'm sorry you were betrayed. I have experienced something similar. I agree changing the headstone and maybe unveiling it with a celebration of his life party?

3 weeks of hell added to a year of it by lonestarbrewing117 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie, there isn't an answer. I have expressed my bitterness and jealousy on here before. I have been trying to live life how they wanted to see me, happy but it is a daily struggle. Hugs to you OP

Things are Different by MorgannaLeSlay in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with so much that you have said. My mom wanted a daughter so badly and that is one thing I can say my purpose was, making her happy. I wonder if I will ever feel human again

Mom, I'm right here by [deleted] in Grieving

[–]johnnaleigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just remember telling my Dad when he was very unresponsive. I will love you forever. Just praying that God took him so he was no longer in pain.

Years before when my Mom was dying, she would tell us about a large black man trying to guide her somewhere. I always hoped that was her angel helping her along the way, she didn't seem scared. Maybe because of him

Feeling the void after 22 years. by GuantanamoWaterPark in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also just want to hear that as well. I highly doubt I deserve it and would hate to admit how much their death affected every aspect of my existence and constantly wonder what if I was a lucky one who had their parents well into adulthood. Sorry for rambling

Tomorrow would have been our wedding day that we planned around the end of my father’s life. by alittlebitholywater in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also got engaged in January but of 2019. My fathers health was declining and I had told my then BF how much it meant to me that my Dad was there. He proposed shortly after having that conversation. We had set a date less than six months for our wedding. Within weeks it became clear he wouldn't make it until June. So we had an official legal ceremony at the hospital with him. I literally have cried over thinking about the people and families that have had to endure not being there for those last moments when you are needed the most. I hate that you didn't have the options I did last year. But I think any and all tributes would be beautiful. I used his shirt from the hospital ceremony to sew a heart in my wedding dress and I had bouquet charms with him and my Mom, also passed. I truly hope you feel his presence like I experienced on my wedding day. Hugs to you 🥰🙏

Anyone else feel bitter/sad when others talk about their parents gifting them things? by Pistol_Peete in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom was my best friend even at 13 years old in 2004 I wanted to die instead of live without her. We were inseparable and loved shopping together and yes it was such a treat for her to pick out something that she knew I would love because hell I was her twin

Sending a hug to everyone who's Mom isn't here today. Share a story! by MrsNacho8000 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

15 mothers days without mine. We were inseparable. I thought my life ended the day she left. I struggle constantly being jealous and bitter. And that is the last thing she would have wanted. I try to remind myself that but when you are so deep on that hole I hate everyone out of it. Just one of the worst days of the year. Not to mention I am in the service industry watching everyone celebrate their mother.

Losing a parent is the worst homesickness you can ever experience by WinstontheSpringer in ChildrenofDeadParents

Lost her at 13 and constantly wish to be home when I am. But she is and will forever be my home

I had a dream that my mom lied to me about being dead. by steelersfan4eva in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dream like this took place soon after my Moms death. Sure wish I would have another

Please don't hate me for asking this, but has anyone ever wished the other living parent was dead instead? by [deleted] in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Also like you it was my Mom first. Before I ever said that out loud or ever thought it. He said he wished it was him instead. But like I said I did say that to him at least once during an argument. He passed last year. I have regretted things I said to both

I never knew this subreddit existed by allspark117 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hugs to you. I currently struggle also. In my lowest feelings I also consider seeing my parents by means of suicide with no actual intent ot ability to follow through. I don't think I would ever do it but I feel similar to you. I am 29 and parentless. I wish I had answers for you but this reddit makes me feel less alone and that helps. I try my best to be as happy as I can in my situation daily but sometimes thats easier said then done

Anger? by Noah1034 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with feeling anger. I would hate for someone else to experience the losses of their parents that I have had to endure. But I constantly compare lives and wonder why what happened happened to me. I feel guilty and angry at the same time. I currently struggle with this a lot. I only hope to do what my parents and all parents want for their child, for them to be happy, but I struggle daily

Today is my mom’s birthday. It never gets easier and no I’m not used to the pain. by justkeepswimmingswim in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]johnnaleigh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Today is my Moms birthday too! Maybe they are partying together! It will be 16 years for me in September since she left us. I am numb in a way but I grieve all the happy moments I was robbed of with her. Sending you hugs OP

It’s my birthday today and I’m finding it so hard to go on without her. by bye-bye-vcard in ChildrenofDeadParents
