New Years Eve
I got drunk at 4pm celebrating British New Year (we're 8 hours behind), which really really pissed my husband off as we were supposed to go out that night. After a rather unpleasant argument, I passed out on the couch and woke up at 2am.

At 4am New Years Day, I got an email from my dad telling me he's got cancer, 3 weeks later I have a bad fishing related accident, the day after that my husband kicked me out, on Saturday I found out my dad is terminal, and mum was rushed into hospital yesterday with cancer related renal failure and only has a few days to live.

Fucking karma.

Edit: My beautiful, sweet, dear mum passed away at 11.15pm California time (last night)/7.15am UK time (this morning)

Very sorry to hear that
just been in a similar situation with one parent (ended as badly as you'd expect). Look after yourself.

Stupid bloody place to unlurk, but I couldn't help it.

sorry
to hear about your parents

I lost my grandmother through cancer just before Christmas - luckily I got to say goodbye (I no longer live in the same country so it is difficult) before she passed

I am so sorry
She is not gone and she is with you always. All religions and faiths believe death is just a doorway to another world. Just remember your mother loved you and was very proud of you.

I lost my beloved mother before Christmas so I know how you feel.
