[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm in a similar situation. My mother died when I was in my teens. I became very close to my mother in law later on -- in many ways she was a mother to me, and my kids were very close to her. My father is alive but we're not close. Losing my MIL was a wake-up call. I've felt like she was sort of a final barrier between me and death. I guess I'd say I feel somewhat bereft without her. I'm not sure if this is how you feel, but I think this is a right of passage we all go through as we get older and our parents age and pass away. My MIL died 6 mos ago and I'm still not fully used to it, but I think it's getting a little better. I think it could help for your to talk things over for a few sessions with a therapist, or otherwise to join a bereavement support group. I've had some therapy around my own loss issues and it definitely helped me. Best wishes to you![/quote]
