These were somehow both comforting and heart wrenching to read. Sometimes I just want to sleep and go away somewhere far and start over but that still wouldn’t solve the aching hole I have in my heart and life. I feel like the world just keeps passing by and I can’t catch the train to continue on this journey. I’ve lost grandparents/friends and other family members but there is just something about losing your mom and dad almost together. My heart now understands what “grief” really is. I am also angry that they passed from Covid as others I have read about. Just celebrated Mother’s Day (1st without my mom) tough. It seems like it never goes away or gets easier. I actually lost my sister (not physically), but as a family member per her request.

It is May and I am still having a hard time. Mom passed on Saturday, August 21, dad passed the following Sunday, August 29, 2022. I lost both parents last August 2022 8 days apart due to Covid.
