[quote=Anonymous]I'm not 50 yet but thought I might get more answers on this forum.  Both of my parents are now deceased, my father many years ago and my mother recently.  I took care of both of them when they had aggressive cancers.  I am still in shock that my mother passed away and I'm strugging with my new place in the world.  I have to settle an estate which feels surreal.  I'm wondering how those of you who have been there have coped.  I think I need grief counseling but I'm not sure where to go.  The hospice counseling is on the phone only and I think I need something more.  My children are having a hard time with their grandmother's passing since they were close to her.  I'm not sure where to get counseling for them.  Do school counselors deal in that?  I don't have any friends who have lost both their parents yet and many of them still have both parents.  If my mother comes up in conversation, they seem uncomfortable so I drop it.  How long after you lose your mom do you start feeling normal again?  Looking for some words of wisdom from those who have BTDT.  Thanks!
