I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom a year ago. I still miss her everyday. I didn't realize how closely we were until she was gone. I'm so glad that you have your dad to lean on. My mom was only 68 but my dad is 85 with some dementia so I've had to be strong for him. Sending prayers your way.

HI and Welcome Melissa.....I am so very sorry for your loss.... I lost my mom a few years ago now and I still think of her all the time.... It does get easier over time... I think of the good times more often and can smile when I think of her now
We have a really good and active depression board on here if that's something that you're struggling with.... Big hug for you and a blessing....xo

Losing a parent can be hard, no matter how old we are (or they were) when it happened. I lost mom about 2 years ago and dad about 1 year ago. Like SunCloud says, it gets easier with time. I am getting to the point where I can think about things that dad liked and smile because I know he would have liked it. (Like wood working projects) But there are still days where things like that make me sad because he is not here to enjoy it.

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
