Anyone else like me?

I was wondering if there are any other younger people out there (i'm 32) who have lost both of their parents already. I feel i can't relate to my husband and friends as they can't understand how I feel. I am an only child as well.

Sorry, I'm not young...anymore! But I lost my dad when I was 14, he was only 44. I just recently lost my daughter, she was only 29.

Many people don't understand the grief that we feel. Take what they offer and ask the Lord to give you all that you need. He is the One who truly understands and is there with you every step of the way.

Lord Jesus, please comfort emmasmum, give her peace that passes understanding. Hold her as she sheds tears of sorrow. Lift her when she's down, and carry her through this difficult time. Thank you Jesus!

God bless you!

Maybe Im not young either but I act it, so I guess thats close enough.

I lost my dad at the age of 17 and my mum almost 4 weeks ago. I do know what you are going through honey. I feel quite numb at the moment and I dont want to discuss it with my husband or family because I just feel that my mum was very special to me and nobody could ever understand that uniqueness that I felt. She is my mum whom I have different feelings for and I dont want to ever let go of them because that is the only connection I now have of her.
Unfortunately no one in your life will feel what you are feeling. It is very personal. You loved your mum in a way no one ever could. ( except God of course of whom she was created ) Thank God for our mums. I miss her terribly and all the good times and the laughter that we shared keeps on popping up unexpectedly. I get really upset and I hide away, just so I can have that special closeness that I feel with her when I am thinking of her.

What are you feeling emmasmum? How are you coping with it.?

I know you want someone to understand you, so do I. I want to be able to get upset in front of people but I dont think they would understand. I feel angry that I am unable to express myself fully. She was my mum and I cant even let go. I push myself to think of her. I dont want to forget her.
We all lose someone we love sometime in our lives but the grief we experience is not what we expect. Ive lost friends, boyfriend, my nana only 2 months ago. My dad and my mum, not to mention grandads and grandma. Very close friends too. Its neverending. Saying that on losing all these people I am more hurt because of the loss of my mum. I wanted to join her. I was quite excited that I could easily die if I wanted to, just to be where she was. heaven became a very inviting place for me. I still cant believe she has gone. I feel very lonely. I cant imagine what you are going through as you are an only child. You must be very lonely. Its ok having a husband and children but nothing can replace the love of a mother. There is a very special connection. I would of given anything up for my mum. She gave birth to me and held on to me, fed me and nurtured me. That is unconditional love that we are unable to feel with a partner or a friend and that is why we are finding it hard to relate.
I have wanted to talk to my mum but I have felt silly because I know she cant hear me, so I send messages to her through God.
Thankyou for your PM you sent to me. If you would like to stay in touch that would be fantastic on my part as we live in the same country........ Praise God.
If you want to talk ........ You can.
All my love to you.

Ladyjane. I am so sorry to hear the loss of your daughter. She is beautiful. I cant imagine losing a child. May God comfort you especially in times of loneliness. It breaks my heart to know you are feeling such a great loss so close to your heart. May Gods hugs comfort you forever.
All my love Jacqui. x x x x
