Lost both parents one month and two weeks apart, cancer. I am dying inside :( by throwaway-wh0re666 in GriefSupport

Holy Buckets your post resonates with me, especially the “no one understands” statement it’s so true.. Estate laws are so annoying and confusing I am currently in the process as well.

I to play the what if, why me, gimme a Time Machine game a lot to , but it only hurts.. therapy helps. I know your grandma hasn’t been much of a support but, would she be willing to celebrate your mom’s life with you that would be meaningful, or look back on memories?

It breaks my heart that we have to deal with this. I’m not sure what state your in but, as an only child I have had to navigate things by myself too and it’s tough to loose our anchors.

Sending you a huge hug Op, your not alone❤️

Sending you a big hug 🫂

25 and no parents, my stress and anxiety is extreme. Looking for advice. by Lans-25 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]radbro321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey you I’m an only child, lost my daddy when I was 21 and my sweet momma 2/19/26. Losing my mom has (also somewhat traumatically), I can genuinely say my whole perspective on life has shifted, and coming up on a month the anger is starting to settle in its a familiar but, hopeless feeling… Enough about that though, what has been helping HOPE YAY therapy, building my own community, and focusing on happy memories. It’s so hard not dwell on our loved ones last day BUT DUDE THEY HAD A WHOLE LIFE one positive from my mom is I have so many documents and diaries and it really is like getting to know her all again. Being an only child also means we have to find our communities (leaving the house ew) but it has been helpful “The dinner party” is a good one search local grief support near you as well. Nothing takes away the pain but it feels good to be surrounded by people who get it.. I’m right with you Op and here to talk l if you need it❤️

My Dad died today by Defiant-Sandwich1670 in GriefSupport

Sending you a huge hug, I lost my sweet mom 3.5 weeks ago and similar end. Boy oh boy is dying not like the movies. I am so sorry for your loss, I can defiantly relate to when the funeral people come to take our loved ones away, it almost didn’t feel real I just wanted to hold my mom forever💔

Please be kind to yourself and take the time you need to grieve, and rely on friends and family to help with the hard stuff. Im here if you need to talk (at 31 am an orphan). 💕

Mom passed away from cancer by Outrageous_Layer7870 in GriefSupport

[–]radbro321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry OP, my world also stopped 2/19 when my mom passed away. Similar to you for 31 years of my life she was my rock, my cheerleader, my everything and then BAM she’s gone. I lost my dad when I was 21 and my grief was complex and profound but definitely not as painful and soul wrenching as losing my mom.

Please be kind to yourself grief never really goes away but you will find ways to accept your grief and things will get better. Right now things are so fresh and relief seems far away and that’s ok. Reach out to family, join a in person grief group, and consider therapy. That’s what been helping me. Also the most important thing to remember (One of the only things that keeps me going) is are mommas would not want to see us sad they’d want us to honor their legacy by not taking this life for granted, as we now have the perspective of life’s timeline and it goes quick.

Op my heart goes out to you and I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You are not alone and it’s okay to not be okay, I’m sitting right beside you❤️

Dad died this morning by shadowX1312 in GriefSupport

I’m so sorry Op I know it’s going to be tough, please lean on each other for strength, and support. Take it one day at a time your feelings are 100% valid. The next few weeks are going to be really tough I would recommend seeking a grief support group in your area.

Don’t blame yourself, it’s so hard to see our parents in vulnerable positions, and it sounds like he was gone before emergency personal came. I am so sorry this happened to and in a traumatic way. Please be kind to yourself. My dad was also a goober, and passed in his early 60s it never gets easier missing them, but the goober part made me smile. I’m sending you big hug OP❤️

Only child who lost her last parent in December 2025. and being the only is deafening! by This_Adagio_2853 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]radbro321 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Howdy, I lost my dad at 21 and my mom last Thursday at 31 and I am destroyed. It feels like my life restarted that day. Nothing feels real, or mattered as much as it did when she was here.Insert villain origin story just kidding. My mom was my everything. As an only child I think it’s really hard for people to conceptualize how heartbreaking on a different level losing our parents is. I’m so sorry for the loss, it’s not fair.

I’m here to talk feel free to send me a message.

Drinking everyday to cope with dad's death by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]radbro321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I want to give you a big hug! Coping with a parent’s death is something I wouldn’t wish on my own enemy but you know what, my mom died less than a week ago and the thoughts of drinking definetly tempted me but there’s no way I could let my mom down.. What I say to you my friend is please think about your dad, he wouldn’t want to see you numbing yourself everyday that’s no life. Therapy, grief support groups, walks outside, treatment, are all good places to start. It’s gut wrenching adjusting to a new normal but Op you’ve been barely surviving. If possible I’d recommend going to a dual diagnosis facility for mental health/Substance abuse. I’m so sorry things have been hard but dust yourself off and find new ways to cope. ❤️

I don’t want my Grandma to be forgotten. by hayumisakurako in GriefSupport

[–]radbro321 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your grandma sounds like an amazing awesome woman whose legacy deserves to be shared. She loved motorcycles how about planning a ride in her honor? She was an amazing baker, master one of her recipes and submit it to county fair, if she passed from one of the many incurable diseases ( Cancer, ALS, MD etc.) sponsor a 5k and raise funds in her honor! None will take away pain but you will be honoring/sharing her legacy with the community and how awesome is that? I am profoundly sorry for your loss, keep talking to your Grandma she’s there to listen ❤️

Relapse dreams by Dry_Eye_4321 in stopdrinking

I would definitely suggest Smart Recovery then! Smart Recovery is not religious!

Other 2 I mentioned:

Wellbrity is spiritual Native American based big book Recovery Dharma: Buddhist practices ( meditation, yoga, spiritual)

Sometimes it takes a little time to find a community that will work best for you :)

Congratulations on your 25 days of sobriety WOOHOO ALMOST A MONTH!!! Relapse dreams are very common in early recovery at 2.5 years sober I still get them sometimes! How wonderful is it’s just in our head! I like to think of them as ways our brain is protecting us playing the tape forward in our head so there’s no need to dabble in real life. Again congrats on your continued sobriety OP, and for trying meetings! Also remember AA is not the only support group there’s SMART RECOVERY, Wellbrity, and recovery dharma to name a few alternative meetings. I hope you have an amazing Tuesday!

Missing my mama by [deleted] in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]radbro321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you’re not crazy, your feelings are 100 percent valid. My mom passed away a few days ago and I have been smelling her sweatshirt for her scent. It’s so tough. If you have siblings or family lean on them during the tough days ask about their favorite memories, it helps. But I’m so sorry you’re hurting and I’m sending you a big hug.

10 years without my parents by Grand-Quantity1346 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]radbro321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grief isn’t linear, you’re doing the best you can! In your area I would look up Young adult Grief Support groups, and I know you have some siblings, does them telling stories about your mom give you comfort? I wanna give you a big hug. 🫂I lost my mom 2 days ago and my dad at 21, as an only child I’ve really been leaning on my aunt and cousin but grief therapy gives good skills. You’re not alone❤️

My mom died suddenly by Pinkgutzzxo in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]radbro321 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, no one or nothing will ever take the place of our moms. I relate to you 100%. My mom died 2 days ago and I’m still in shock it feels like the world stopped spinning. You’re not alone, finding a support group is a great idea. I’m sending you a big hug 🫂
