Close Bereavement
: Loss of a Parenti lost both of my parents last year. I lost my mum in July and my dad in December.I'm still in shock and disbelief. i just feel numb as if it's not happened i was grieving for my mum and when my dad passed away ,it went away i talked to a counselor and she said my brain was protecting itself. it's too much to take in at this moment. my mum had various ailments that she took a lot of medicines for,her liver gave up.i did get to see her [after a mad dash to get from Holland to Scotland as quick as i could] and held her hand which she tried to squeeze to let me know she was aware and then she let her last breath out. i was only in the room for 2 minutes, she was waiting for me my gorgeous mamma after this life crushing sadness i decided to go to britain for Christmas to be with my family ,i booked to be there on the 16th Dec. my dad got sick in the meantime and was in hospital but he got out on the Thursday with a check over from a doctor he said my dad was good for a man his age. on the saturday he was still sick and my sister called for a doctor in the afternoon.she left to do some chores thinking the doctor would be there soon but he didn't come until 1 in the morning. they rang his bell and the doctor could hear some movement in the house and then nothing. they had to get the police and a carpenter to open the door and they found my dad on the floor. his heart had stopped. this was 14th December 2 days before i was due to visit. its just so surreal. my father would have been 71 on the third of january. his older sister died on his birthday this year also. my auntie Donny. i can't take all of this in im numb. blue
