Grief isn’t something that goes away, you dont just get over grief. It’ll be with you forever. It might get easier but there will always be sad times

Talking about things with the right people can help. maybe trying some professional help. i have found the more that i have spoken about those whom have passed, the easier it has been to deal with.

I truly think that speaking to a grief counsellor could be hugely helpful for you.

I am sorry to hear. Have you thought about joining a grief support group or seeing a grief counselor?

Otherwise you can find a new hobby, join a class/group (exercise, art etc)

So sorry for your loss. I know that there are places where you can go and talk about anything you want with people who really care. The Salvation Army and St Vincent De Paul Society offer these services. If you have free time I have spent time at both places as a volunteer at their Opportunity Shops where I have met so many lady friends. We have a fun time and we have our lunches together where we solve the World matters so to speak. Filling the day with that time you use to by visiting your parents at the Nursing Home with a charity is really rewarding. I joined a program with both charities over many years now where I visit a Nursing Home and visit with people who never get visitors, we become friends and we walk and talk and we attend their exercise classes etc. I have taken them out and we shop and have a coffee out of the Nursing Home if they are capable of doing so. You might like to do this sort of volunteering as it is so rewarding and fills your day with a purpose. You might even double your friendship group.

Time heels everything

I’m sorry to hear. All I can say is let time be the healer. When you find yourself feeling sad, just try and think of a good memory of them instead.

I am so sorry for your losses. It must be terribly difficult losing two people you were so close to, so close together. I have always found that it helps to talk about it. Don’t let the memory of them die. Maybe you have some family that you could get together with and discuss some happy memories?

I am so sorry for your loss and the difficult journey you have been through with your parents. Grieving the loss of loved ones, especially when they had dementia and you had to make tough decisions like putting them into a nursing home, can be incredibly challenging and overwhelming. It is completely natural to still feel sadness and have moments where you think about them years later.

Grief is a personal and ongoing process, and it does not have a set timeline. It is important to allow yourself to feel your emotions, even if they are painful, and to be kind and patient with yourself as you navigate through this difficult time.

Remember that you are not alone in your feelings, and it is okay to reach out for help and support. Take each day as it comes, and know that healing from grief is a gradual process that takes time and self-care. Your parents would want you to take care of yourself and find peace and joy in your life. You deserve compassion and love as you navigate through this difficult journey.

There is no time line for grief. But if you feel it is affecting you making day to day decisions I think you would definitely benefit from seeking some help. Your GP will be able to refer you for help. Take care of yourself.

If it’s affecting your day to day life you may need to speak to your Doctor. It does get easier over time. They’d want you to enjoy life so live it and keep yourself occupied.

A GP should be a able to help with support and referral to services that support people with grief.

Professional support can be helpful with grief.

I’m so sorry for your loss. In my experience the sadness doesn’t subside, but you get stronger. I lost my Mum 5 years ago and have moments where it feels agonizing. I try to hold on to the lovely memories and how lucky I was to have her. You can access some therapy sessions for free at the GP if you think it will help.
What helps me; Remember how much love you showed them. How happy you all were when you spent time together. How they would be cheering you on right now. Take notice of fabulous things about yourself that were passed down to you from them. Cry when you really need to, then think of them and smile.
All the best

I am so sorry you are experiencing this, loosing someone you love terribly is so hard. It is natural to think about these things, it can take years if not a lifetime to get over someone passing. Have you considered speaking to a professional to help you work through some of your sadness and thoughts? It might help you manage it a bit better.

It can take years to give the loss of a loved one a place.
I think that the fact that you had to out both your mum and dad in a nursing home due to dementia, adds to your grieve.
My mum suffers Alzheimers too and it hurts to see her deteriorating
My niece is diagnosed with PTSD after first losing her mother (my sister) then her brother (my nephew).
Have you considered grieve counseling ?

I’m really sorry you are going through such a difficult time. I just lost my brother recently and am struggling too and not sure how to navigate forward. All I know is, everyone’s different, everyone grieves differently and there are no expectations of where you need to be in your journey. Be kind to yourself, seek help and support and do things you think your loved ones would have been happy to see you do.

Just remember to be kind to yourself , there is no time limit on grief and see the sadness of a reminder of how loved you must have been.
