[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm very sorry for your losses. I say this kindly, but please consider therapy. It's normal to feel sadness and a sense of loss. What you describe is not normal, though, especially after so many years. [/quote]

I think the main reason why I'm still struggling with the loss of my parents is that there was never a proper 'goodbye'.

My mom died only 7 months after her cancer diagnosis. She never felt able to talk about her terminal illness with me and my dad. She could talk about mundane things like the weather but not about her cancer.

My mom did have a private conversation with a priest 2 weeks before her death. In a way I feel glad that she did talk to someone.

Dad died of sepsis after 3 years of illness and a weakened immune system. Sepsis takes hold of the body very quickly. 
With both deaths there was no opportunity for me to say goodbye and talk to them, there was no real closure.[/quote]

There rarely is a proper goodbye, unfortunately.

Please seek professional help to process your feelings.[/quote]

You’re looking for a unicorn. You need to grow up or read some philosophy or get religion. Sorry OP.
