[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lost my mom a year ago, and my dad several years ago.  This article is spot on.

I definitely think more about my own mortality.

It’s such a sad experience.[/quote]

I am sorry, pp.  I agree.  I lost my dad to cancer 15 months ago and we were very, very close.  It was brutal.  It is brutal. I’ve been very weepy lately—and I am more anxious and definitely not myself.  A huge chunk of me is gone and I mourn the lost relationship he had with my kids who he adored.  Now that I am here, I am absolutely terrified of my mom dying now.  They were such a big part of holidays and family events.

My dad died much sooner than any of us anticipated.  His parents were a decade older when they died.  The end was also very fast and unexpected after being clear of cancer for some time.  It was so hard to watch him go through that and the entire time he was thinking of all of us, not himself.

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact I will not have him in my life and that I have 30 some years or more to go on living without him.[/quote]
