My father passed away on Christmas morning of 1991 and my mother in february of 1997 about 5 months before I got engaged to my husband and I was 31 at the time. I feel very lonely for them becuase my husband's family isn't supportive and my husband just doesn't get it as far as my depression & anxiety goes and I feel very alone. I know that my parents would be there for me all the way for emotional support. I'm glad that they have this section at this forum.
