| Really nothing to add but going to reply anyway. I'm right at 40 now, still have my dad thankfully, but when I was 25 and had been married a year, my Mom, Grandpa, and special great aunt died within about 3 months of each other. Mom had cancer for a year or two prior to her death. Shortly after Mom's death, during harvest, my hired man had an accident with the truck and the other person involved was killed. The 'estranged widow' later sued.
Two things bring tears to my eyes even today, almost 15 years later. One was the bond my wife and mom shared, even in the short year of knowing each other. The other is knowing how Mom would have loved watching the grandchildren grow up.
Don't be scared to share with others. I believe there's more caring hearts out there than we think. Read the Bible. Pray. Allow yourself to cry, but also get up and do something. It may also help to realize the stages of grief. Time truly does have a way of healing.
God bless you.
