[quote=Anonymous]I am 36 now, but lost both parents before I turned 30. My mother was ill for 10 years and passed when I was 22, then my father got diagnosed with lung cancer 7 years later and passed away 6 months after being diagnosed; I was 29 then. There are no "lessons" per se, but it definitely does change your perspective on life and what's important. I am also very single and never had children, so the lonliness is definitely very real and the pain is sometimes unbearable. I found this posting of yours while searching online today for some type of comfort because I woke up this morning with such a heavy heart. I was hit with the thought of "my parents are gone and I will never see them again!" as soon as I awoke, and have been perpetually crying all morning. No matter how many years pass, the grief is still there and it appears it always will be. [/quote]
