A friend of mine lost her father brother and then her mother within a 10 year span. She was 56 when her mother passed but she told me she felt like an orphan with no family, no one who intimately knew and shared her history. You can be an adult orphan. The only way to ease that feeling somewhat is to perhaps foster and nurture relationships with extended family like uncles and aunts or cousins or the family we chose like close friends.
 
"Remember that time we...?"

All gone. No more shared memories of a big chunk of my life.
That really made me think. An argument that you don't even think about at first. I wish you a lot of love and the strength to look ahead anyway! đź«¶
 
In 1968 while in Vietnam I lost my great grandmother who I was close to. During the next 7 years I lost both sets of grandparents. In March 2008, I lost my mother and lost my father in 2013. I still have an adopted son and a biological daughter. I had a major heart attack in 2008 where I died on the table. I've been experiencing chest pains for the last year or so. My cardiologist says my heart is okay. I have come to accept that I will die and even look forward to it. It's the natural progression of life. At age 76, mother nature keeps stepping on me.
