I am there myself, and know exactly how you feel. You never get over it and it makes you painfully aware of your own mortality.

lost my mom 1,5 years ago. I know the feeling, there is empty space in your hear. Can't be filled by anything. We can only move on and be an example of the good qualities they had.
- so sorry about your mom :( and very true, as i get older i realize he lives on within me and try to harness those good qualities as much as possible.sea_sea

thanks guys, thanks for sharing your stories too. it somehow helps to know we all go through something similar sometime in our lives.
for now all i can do is remember his words and teachings and try to make him proud. i was an only child, with a very strict catholic mother, so he was my accomplice and best buddy. lol he was a kid at heart and made my childhood enormously happy, i feel very blessed to have known him. :)

^ that sounds like a wonderful childhood mate, you cant beat big kids as childhood friends. I'm pleased to see you're seeing the positives, you sound a lot happier :) I hope this thread has helped you a little dude.
There is a lot of love in this thread. My sentiments go out to all the people who have posted their stories.

Yeh lost Dad at 14y/o then Mom at 25y/o. 5 yrs later I really wish I'd had a chance to get to know them better. At least I got to have a few bottles of wine with Mom as an adult and have a chat... and thank GOD my gf at the time loved to sneak off and do the same... she'd find out things that a mom can't really tell her son. Was still a snotty brat who hated my Dad when he went so only ever saw him as a parent, not a person. But god, still so many questions and no one to answer them.. no hope of grandparents for my kids one day... no one to go to for advice on anything and everything
But parents or no parents, life is fucking great!!!

My dad died 19 years ago, when I was 18.
Guess I've now spent more of my without him than with him.
