I lose my father years ago, he die in a hard attack, now i will lose my mother too, is a matter of days....after my father death, i deal with it because my mother was there, and we support each other; now...where i will find a support? Sorry if i disturb you with a sad discussion, but is part of this life; and i wonder how i can pass ...how i can understand that i lose both parents...i am a strong person, who think that we must accept what life give us, but how i can deal that life will be so empty....i don t know how...i come here just because in real i am afraid to talk about this...

Hi Icesmile, I feel so sad for you....My parents are both in their 80s, and thank God, they are both healthy. I don't want to think about losing them - I would miss them terribly, can't imagine a life without them. So I pray that you will have divine strength to carry on; I'm sure your mother would want to live on happily. Take care and God bless you.

My parents are still living and thankfully in pretty good health. I would be devastated if my parents were not alive. I know that eventually, some day, far, far down the line, they will pass, but not any time soon....I hope. I guess when the time comes, I will face it and be okay, as they taught me how to take care of myself quite well, but I do not look forward to that day.

First of all, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I too lost my father many years ago to a heart attack. It was nearly devastating for our family but we were able to get through it because we still had each other: my mom, my brother and my sister. Now, I know that one day I will lose my mother and it is something that I don't even like to think about because not only is she the only surviving parent that I have, she is also my best friend. I beleive that one of the best ways to get through this difficult time in your life is to have some strong shoulders to lean on. You will find that your friends may be there for you even more and even the rest of your family. I know it is difficult but I also believe that you will get through it because you said that you are a strong person. Yes, life will be empty and you will never fully recover from your loss, but in the end you will come out a stronger, though different person.

both my parents are still alive. thinking about losing them is like a bird who lose two arms. my parents are my life. i can't imagine what would life be without them.

hey icesmile, hang in there. Don't think about the 'how' part. You don't plan ahead on how you deal with losing your parents. Plans like that fail. You simply move on. There will be days, maybe months, maybe years, that it will be really hard on you, but life will go on. Don't worry about it. Don't think about it. Just take the time to enjoy the company of your mother. She's still there with you, so love her, honor her, and maybe moving on will be easier for you. Prayer helps, too. If you're not a religious person, just talk to God. It helps.

my father die when i was 9 years old. he was shot by robbers, he manage to protect my mom but we ended up lossing him instead, i could never accpet that fact that those robbers got away, but his lost was not gone waisted as it turned me into a stronger person. I have my mom left, but to my full honesty i would not know too how i can survive if i will lose my mom. i know she would not want me to be depressed but i might not be able to promise her that. all i do now is pray for her. You need to hold on no matter what. pray hard. and if time do come that she needs to go back to heaven, you have the right to mourn but then you need to show her that you will be strong and stay strong for her, so that her spirit will have peace knowing she had raised you so well and you will make it through. I will pray for your mom to give her more time here to be with you.

I still have both of my parents, thank God. But you know what? I am so scared to lose any member of my family. I am not ready for that. But that's life. Everyone will go in their own time. Our lives are just borrowed. I will pray for you Ice. May God bless you.
