Hey Michelle ... Hello and welcome!

I’m so sorry to read about your loss. That’s an incredibly difficult thing to go through, and it’s completely understandable that you’re finding it hard to deal with. Grief can be overwhelming, and each one can be different. Even though your post was short, it sounds as though you loved your parents.

Do you have any friends or family that you can talk to? It might help?

I'm guessing that you refer to yourself regarding mental health issues, and given what you are having the deal with, perhaps talking with a counsellor or other professional might be helpful. What you’re going through is really heavy, and you deserve support.

And if you want to chat here also, that's cool...!

Listening.
