Cute - I agree with adair. I do believe there is another life beyond this one & that we do see each other again.
Your parents would never want to be the cause of your despair or hopelessness. They'd want you to carry on & live the best life possible. To do that we can't be numb & foggy, trying to blot out pain by drinking. I hope you'll continue talking to us - we understand like no one else can.

have you had any grief counselling at all? I think it’s normal to grieve and feel sad, but wanting to join them is another level of pain altogether.
Maybe a Dr or counsellor might help?

Sorry for your loss spen71 - losing both parents like that is very hard to bear.
I see sobriety as a gift you can give yourself, the best kind of self care. It's one I am sure your parents would wish for you.
Best wishes for all those struggling with grief right now. Someone said, and I don't remember who, that we can't move away from grief , only through it.

I'm sorry Spen and CNGY. You both can have peace. It is there for you and you can start your lives on your new roads and make your healthy ways. But leaving drinking behind is a prerequisite. I know you both know that so I'll stand down.
Sometimes what people are going through is so profound that they need some focused in-person help. I hope you both can get some grief counseling to work through the trauma and grief that has been heaped upon you both the last few years.
