I lost my amom and adad within three weeks of one another and then a month later found out that my bmom had also passed away. It was a horrible time of loss.
I missed the little things like shopping with my amom and just hearing her voice on the telephone during our daily phone calls. I know I'll never stop missing them but now I can remember the good times and the hugs and smiles.

There is no time limit on grief and grieving. Everyone heals at their own pace.

I grieved for my bmom too although we had only met at my birth. But shortly after I found out that she was gone I found my 8 birth siblings and they have filled my life.

Some talks with a counselor who has dealt with adoptee issues may help. It is a very difficult thing to lose parents. But I think that knowing my parents they wouldn't want me to be sad - They would want me to have a happy life. Maybe getting involved with something you like to do would bring you some joy? I started training puppies around the time my parents died and they have been great therapy!
