Grief, Sadness, loss or just depression?

Posted by KayJ on September 15, 2003, at 8:51:32

First, let me say that I have read all of the posts on this board and I am wishing peace for all. I think that is what I am looking for.
I just can't seem to "get over" the loss of my parents..my father died 11 yrs ago and my mother died 9 yrs ago. They both died from cancer..with lots of suffering and I was basically the caregiver. They were fairly young 66, 65. I have one brother who lives out of state..and really was not part of it. I see him rarely..mostly only a phone call every yr or two : )
I just can't seem to get over the sadness..or feeling that I have a great big hole in my life. I keep trying to fill it with others..or other things, but it still remains just below the surface, ready to choke me with emotion at unsuspecting times. Everyone loses their parents..so why can't I get past this? I go to the cemetery and cry like a baby. What I wouldn't give to spend one more day with them. I really have none of my family left..except for my wonderful husband and children..I know those are very different relationships...but I should be grateful for what I have. I guess I am just a big baby : )
