Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a Parent

I lost my Mother to cancer in 1984. She was only 57 years old. I still miss her so much. Then 2 years ago I lost my Dad from a Heart Attack. Sure miss him also. Just knowing they are now together in heaven makes it easier to deal with. But I think the pain will always be there.

Treatments

Getting Angry Not Working

Does not help at all. I think it just makes things worse.

Remembering Working / Worked

Adding memory notes in my family scrapbook helps. Also talking with family about their memories. I'm honoring my parents with a scrapbook full of pictures and stories of memories.

Scrapbooking Working / Worked

I'm making a scrapbook about my parents. Lots of pictures and lots of stories about my memories of them. I want my kids and grandkis to have memories of them also. When I'm feeling sad and missing my parents, I can get out the scrapbooks and I can always find a memory that makes me laugh or cry or sometimes both. But their memory will live on and I'm proud to be able to make the scrapbooks in their honor. I love them both very much and I still miss them so much that it hurts.

Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked

Having my sister and 2 brothers to talk to. We support each other. I'm so thankful for my family.

Talking Working / Worked

Telling stories about my parents to my kids and grandkids. Sharing memories really help.

Time Not Working

Heard it said that it just takes time to heal. Well, maybe time helps to accept the loss of a loved one. But it sure hasn't helped the pain!
