I need some help. My dad has already passed away and my mom goes going to pass away in 6 months. That's what we been told. How do you cope with Two of your parents gone?

Our stories are exactly the same.

I lost both my parents to cancer within 6 1/2 months of each other, my dad went first.

It's hard, so very hard, you are dealing with the loss of one parent and the illness of another that you know will not end well.

See your doctor, tell him/her the situation, I went on antidepressants at this time in my life and they helped tremendously.

Do you have siblings? Are you close? Don't be afraid to ask people for help, to lean on people, to lean on each other. This is a really hard time in your life, but really, honestly, you will survive.

It's been 8 years since my parents died. I still miss them, but now the memories bring a smile to my face, before they just brought tears.

We're here if you want to talk about it, about anything, or just to vent.

Until then, take care of yourself and know that you aren't alone.
