Watching people still have parents hurts more than I admit
I lost my mom when I was 15 I am now 27, my grandma who I moved in with after my mom died 2 years later. My dad then died a year after my grandma. I’ve carried a lot of trauma and loss in my life and lately watching other people still have parents to call and be there for them has been hitting me really hard.
Today my husband was talking to his dad multiple times on the phone and out of nowhere I ended up quietly going to the other room crying myself to sleep in the middle of the day because the grief overwhelmed me.
I haven’t prayed in years because I honestly struggle with believing God cares about me after everything I’ve survived.
I guess I’m posting because I feel really alone and I just want to know if anyone else still grieves their parent deeply even years later. Does it ever actually get better?
