I guess asking for responses to my last entry wasn't a good idea. I've noticed that out of all my friends that almost all of them still have both their parents and a good majority still have grandparents too. I don't think anyone knows how hard it is to lose your father and I know I don't understand how hard it is for my mother to lose her

I honestly have no concept of what it will be like to lose my dad or how it will affect my family. I can barely force myself to imagine it. I think people might be less than eager to respond about the situation because it forces them to think about their own. :o(

Sometimes I feel like being the "first" in my group of friends to have something like this happen is a lonely place to be. When they get upset over events that are important yet not quite like losing a human being I feel isolated because I want to say "You have no idea how unimportant that seems in the big scheme of things."

But that attitude on my part is wrong as well. It is just that I was forced to realize my own age & mortality earlier because my parents were older parents than most.

Don't get me wrong, some people in my life really do get it, but most don't...

I didn't post because I have no idea.

My mom was only 49 when she died. My dad 51. He had never done anything domestic for himself. He went from his mom's house, to college, to my mom. He turned into a teenager for me. Rebelious and stupid. He won't listen to me and has since married what I think is a gold digger. It is driving me up one wall and down the other. If you have any great ideas, please share.

If I take a deep breath and think real hard my only advise would be to periodicly let your mom know that you are there for her and that you are willing to truly listen or help.
