Hang in there Jon. It's been about 14 years since my parents passed. It gets easier, but you'll still miss them often.I can sympathize definitely. February, 3 weeks after my birthday, we lost my dad to Alzheimer's complications, and then my mom died of a stroke in June (her funeral is today). Have been dreading losing one parent over time, two in 3.5 months is a little much. Considering I'm now the man of the family and trying to get everything squared with their old debts, and probate on the house they purchased in '16 which we'll likely have to sell since no will and no life insurance. And I miss both dearly.
That's a lot to deal with. I'm hoping for the best outcome for you.I can sympathize definitely.

My dad is going strong at 88. Aside from his older sister @ 96, he is the only one of his 12 siblings to make it past 83.God knows I'm not going to make it that long.
Nobody in my family seems to make it out of their 70's.
That's OK. It's about when I expect my retirement fund to run out anyway.
My parents, their fathers, and my uncle never got through their 50's. My grandmothers might have made 60's.Nobody in my family seems to make it out of their 70's.
Proof we're not related.My dad is going strong at 88. Aside from his older sister @ 96, he is the only one of his 12 siblings to make it past 83.
How old does your mailman's family live to?My parents, their fathers, and my uncle never got through their 50's. My grandmothers might have made 60's.
If I feel like this in my 50's, I don't want to make it to my 90's.3 of my grandparents made it past 90 (one still alive) and the 4th passed away at 80 due to cancer.
You mean my REAL dad?How old does your mailman's family live to?
