Feeling alone

My mom died in January and less than one week after her funeral, my dad suffered a massive stroke. He's doing well, given all he's been through, but he'll never be the man he was.  My mom was my best friend and I relied on my dad for everything.  I don't have a significant other or children, and I feel so alone and overwhelmed! I'm so tired of struggling every single day.

We have a Caring for Aging Parents board on here as well as Caregivers with regards to your dad

My dad had a series of strokes as well...…. xo

I saw that you joined a Grief and Depression board..... I don't think that it's very active either however the Depression board is a supportive and active board

Thank you for replying, SunCloudJD. It's good to hear from someone who's been there and made it through.

I am so sorry you are going through this. My father had a stroke before also and it was devastating to our family. He died a few years ago from other complications and it was such a loss to all of us. But when we lose a mother, especially a mother whom we have a close relationship with it can be heart wrenching. I know that hospice offered us grief counseling for a couple of years after my dad died. Maybe you could look into something like this-- they give you coping mechanisms and also you get to connect with others whom are going through the same emotions as you are, sometimes in a group settings. Hoping things turn around for you in time. :)

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
