[quote=Anonymous]I try to give a bit of a break to anyone who hasn't walked that path yet, of losing either one or both parents--because unless they are just incredibly empathetic, most have no idea what it's like (and I was one of them before I lost my mother). When you've moved out of the house and maybe don't see them all that often, sometimes it's hard to process what it really means to lose them, and so they are probably seeing your situation more as the "I'm sure she's relieved that it's over." In-laws are a different situation, of course, but for peers of yours, it's something you can certainly be sad about, but also consider that they are just "lucky" to not really understand what you are going through. And that probably eventually as they lose their parents some will apologize to you for not grasping what you are going through (which I tried to do with friends of mine who had lost a parent, though amongst my closest group, I was the first to lose one).
