Let you emptiness be an opportunity for you to feel God's love and presence in your life right now at this moment let it flow. Just like you I have been my dearly beloved parents I lost my+ Dad in the fall of October 2004, then in less than 3 mos we lost our 3rd elder brother- (he so close to me a very devout brother and son to the family) in January 2005 and then 7 years later + my Mom in the fall of 2011. I felt so alone and at a loss - however, I helped my self by spending more time with the Lord in deepest fervent prayers and meditation as the days, weeks and months pass me by. I developed a routine of simply communing with nature while I pray in the silence of my heart and I whispered to the Lord to please hug my departed love ones wherever they are let me feel their love even if they are no longer around. Then I will feel peace surrounding me my mind will recall the happy times flowing by. So in those moments, I felt the need to reconnect with them by looking for old photos and pictures to scan them and write some notes or watch videos copy and cut the part where there is some hilarious funny moments put them altogether in an album or if you are fond of social media choose one that you trust in privacy then post and share them - this is just my way of coping up my loneliness and it helps me to relieve the years I have with them. The same way, when I do when watching YOUTUBE - to look for the MUSIC or genre while growing up and Oh so much fun!! then of course the many Spiritual resources in YOUTUBE for Prayers and Reflection . Don't forget to have your Holy Bible if you do have one or join a Self-Help Grief Support group in your community that too helps a lot - new friends, new beginnings or bring out your talent in you if you are an artist , poet, or simply love singing make it as a hobby or perhaps get yourself a PET, do some gardening, some flowers it's so beautiful when you see them grow that you know air is purified and it's therapeutic believe me I do that and speak with my plants lol! I mean it's so nice to say hello and see them grow then with my family pet a 9 yr old golden retriever play with her like a family member we got her when she was just 7 weeks old. It is very essential to Speak also to your Pastor or reconnect with your church group as they do help us back on our feet on the ground. When you got time open your Holy Bible-Try reading PSALM 23 and PSALM 91 free your thoughts ask your Guardian Angel to lead and guide you, relax enjoy your surroundings and YOU WILL BE AT PEACE FULL OF HOPE - to MOVE ON to where our Lord God Almighty leads you. PEACE BE WITH YOU. I will keep you in my prayers and kind thoughts as well. Cheers In Christ's love!!

Cherrie, I have to admit that while I do often send prayers for these requests, I rarely answer them, but yours touched my heart because I am in the very same place. My father passed in 2010, and my mother died on Thanksgiving Day, 2015. I'm and only child, and I'm not ashamed to say that my parents were the best friends I ever had. When Dad died, Mom and I had each other to lean on, but now that she is gone, I just feel alone and rudderless, and looking for something to give me some meaning. Seeing your post made me feel a little better in knowing there are others out there who feel the same way, and I hope that knowing you're not alone will give you some comfort too. Hang in there, and know that in some way, you are making your parents proud every day!
