I'm not prepared for my parents' passing

I’m 28, they’re in their mid to late sixties. They aren’t sick or anything, but I’ve just been thinking about it. I’m not gonna handle it well, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it caused me psychosis. Or perhaps i am overestimating the power of grief

Losing my parents will be difficult. I can’t really imagine it. It’s like living life with less wetness in water.

My moms is 56 and has lung issues from smoking and STILL continues to smoke. I worry about her passing away too. I’ll be a mess when she dies. Hopefully she has another 20 years left.

I think I’ll be ok, I’m not dependent on my Mum & my Dad past away 11 yrs ago, Luckily my Sister & i are quite close, tbf i think I’d cope ok on my own but i wouldn’t like to test that, I was with an ex for a number of years and I’ve been living on my own now for 13yrs so i have practice.

Me and my grandma might be moving to a new house, together, soon. Now when she passes away, i’m probably moving in with my mom and her husband. Hopefully not any time soon.

I lost my Dad in 2020. I’ve gotten used to the loss now but I think losing my Mum will be the end of me. She’s the closest person to me.

Never felt so abandoned when my mom died ..
Took me ten years to continue life without her.

my dad passed in 2020 also, he would be 76 if he was still here, im 24, still painful especially considering how frequently he is in my dreams. i cant even think of life without my mom now, id probably be gone already after my dad passed if not for my mom

My dad died in 1989, and my mom died in 2020. I don’t think there’s a way to emotionally prepare for your parents’ dying. Some things have to be lived to be fully understood.

Now that both of my parents have died, I’m forced to begin a new chapter in my book called life. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion.

I think that when my parents die the stress of it will send me into a dark place. I don’t live with them but i talk to them twice a day every day, and i depend on them psychologically. Often i believe that i will have no reason to keep living once they’re gone…

I am 60 years old caring for my elderly father in our house.
He’s 91 years old so time is not on his side.
My Mother whom I loved very much died in 2019.
I am scared of the future without my father, but somehow I will survive.
My brother who is two years younger than me lives nearby

This is my biggest concern. Like when I’m laying down trying to relax the thought that I’m pretty much completely dependent on my mom keeps me anxious. I’m kind of banking on treatments getting better before she passes. If they don’t I’m ■■■■■■. There’s a possibility I’d end up living with my sister and I would probably put a bullet in my head before I resigned to living like that.
