Do we ever get over losing our parents and loved ones? I lost my father 9 years ago and my mother 3 years ago and here I am still having a bit weep over why they had to go..... I suppose there are times that other people's presence just doesn't fill what they did in our lives and we miss them so much.
Hi coccinelle. I still have a weep now and again over my dad who I lost 14 years ago. I don't think you ever get over the loss of a parent if you've been close to them. I just try to remember the good times I spent with him.
Mother died and I hardly grieved, although I admired her as a woman and her philosophies.
We all grieve differently and at differing intensities, although at a guess I think that women grieve to a greater intensity than women.......just a guess.
don't give yourself a hard time over this. it will never leave you but you will put it in its place as time goes by.. but it will come back to you from time to time.
