I lost my dad eight and a half years ago, and since he died, I have felt like I am more and more out of control of the things that matter most to me, especially of myself. Now Mom is gone as well, and I feel like a really old orphan.
When my father died, I felt as if I was living someone else's life. I was losing control of everything that mattered to me, especially of ME. Now Mom is gone too, and I am an orphan, a really old one.
