Only child , loss of both parents

My dad passed 21 yrs ago, my mom just passed end of March of this year. I have a couple blood relatives, but they didnt come to my moms service for lame reasons which really upsets me. I had my dads cousin come to my moms, but he didnt talk to us for years before and nothing after so I think he came to find out what happened and that was it. I am so dissapointed in so many people. I had support during everything, but once the funeral was done, so were the phone calls or texts asking how I am doing. That hurts.

 

I feel for you. I just lost my father 2 weeks ago. Had a lot of support at the time. Already the phone calls are slowing. I was my father's only child but he also raised my mother's 4 when he married her. So I am the youngest. Also alone. I was caring for him for 6 years while living with him and now that he's gone, I have the added stress of finding my own place. My mother passed 7 months ago with Alzheimers. So he pretty much went downhill after that. If you need an ear, I'm here. It's a hard time.

 

My dad passed away 12 years ago, and my mom just passed away this month. I was the caregiver for both, especially for my mom for the time since my father passed away. Once the funeral is over, you never hear from anyone again. I am single since no time for socializing as looking after my mom was a 24/7 job especially the last few years. So I understand what you are going through as well. Just being in the house alone, no calls to check on you is very hard. Just trying to make it through one day at a time. That's the only advice I can give you as it is tough.

 

I made a video for my moms bday and shared it on FB just talking about her a little bit. I decided I will just keep bringing it up and sharing about my parents on FB so the memories will come up each year and people will know about her. Any way to share her life from now on with people in some way is important
