and my heartfelt sympathy. (((((((((((((((((((((((((( )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

The anniversary of a loss can be extremely hard.
Holidays can be extremely hard
Losing a parent can be extremely hard.
Having lost both parents is extremely hard

I could make suggestions, but I'm sure they've already been mentioned. Reaching out. Friends. Relatives. Grief hotlines. Cups of tea. Contacting the hospice people for help. Some kind of religious organization that you're comfortable with. DU.

Wishing you peace
