[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP.

I feel terrified about losing my parents. When my mom has cancer, I had to stay busy constantly to not think about it. Fundamentally, when I think of losing my parents, I feel abandoned. There will no longer be someone there who cares for me the way I care for my child. I will be the adult without any support, even if it is just emotional at this point. That’s a lot of heavy feelings. [/quote]

I'm two years out from losing both of my parents and, yes, what you wrote is absolutely true. I felt very alone, even though I have my husband and small kids, who keep me very busy. It gets better over time, but my biggest regret is not having more good times with them. Their last years coincided with the births of my children and all that baby/toddler life madness, and I wish I had a bit more calm time with my parents and made more memories with them. We all have to walk this path eventually; making the best time of it is the only way to go.[/quote]
