I lost my dad unexpectedly in March - he died in his sleep of heart failure. It was absolutely devastating.

I was starting to get back on my feet, then my mother died in December (she had a brain tumor and diminished very slowly - over a 10 year period.) I knew she wouldn't live to be old, but 9 months after my dad?! (They were both 59 years old.)

I'm kind of a loner - I do have friends, but they are more the type that you talk to once or twice a month, not every day. I am an only child and am not married. (long-term boyfriend left me in 2005 and married someone else after we were together for 8 years).

I quit my job earlier this year as I was too sad and depressed to do it everyday.

I've been to one-on-one grief counseling - it helped some. Does this ever get better? Where I don't feel like I want to cry every minute of the day?
