I haven’t lost mine yet, but he is in hospice and is expected to pass soon. I have been thinking a lot about how I am going to deal with that loss and I think you’re in the right place. Nobody is going to understand like those who have gone through it. I have a few friends who told me what it was like for them with their parent/s passing like the stages of emotions they felt, responsibilities they had to take on, and ways they learned to process and cope with it. I know that when the day comes, I can call them and say everything I feel because they already understand and won’t be uncomfortable answering tough questions.

My condolences to you and your family and lots of love and healing 🫂
