Crying and crying...

**baxjul** · 10-05-2007, 07:05 AM

Well, my Mom and Dad's house sold. This isthe house my dad grew up in, I grew up in. My sister called. Now, I'm crying because I miss mom and dad, and have no "home". I have a home and family of my own, but I feel kind of like an orphan!

I'm sorry. I know how you are feeling; I was very close and spent a lot of time at my grandmas. I felt the same way when her house sold. Sometimes I still have dreams that are set in that house...

Maybe the new owners will give you visitation privilieges...

Hugs to you. I felt a lot the same way when we sold my Dad's house, also the house he grew up in. We spent a lot of time there as kids. It's the one that still feels a little painful to drive by, but truthfully, it's the memories that keep us attached. That's something that can't be taken away.

I was in a similar position a few years ago. It's ok to feel sad for a bit, loss is loss & it hurts.
One thing I did that gave me some closure but was bittersweet was to meet the new owners and they took me on a tour of the house. Much was done to change it and it felt good to see the house have life & more happy memories being made in it. The new owners would love copies of any old pictures you have of the house too. They loved hearing about what used to be & were proud of showing me what is now.
The good memories are there for you in your heart always. Remember fondly & embrace what is now & continue to make those kind of memories for your dd.

The Circle of life, and so it goes, on & on...

I'm sorry Julie.

I just went through the same thing not long ago. I have no home either. My sister just said she's homeless, although she lives with her BF, and will inherit his house. All our family property has been sold. There is nothing left.

I'm with you, girl. I know how you're feeling.

I moved so often as a kid that we never really had a family home. Dont know my grandma much my dad side of the family has always lived a million miles away.

When my mil sold dh's childhood home she totaly remodeled the house . Dh said it made it easier becuase it didnt look like the house he loved so it was like it wasnt really his home.

Im sorry you are sad and big hugs.

I'm sorry you're feeling blue. It is such a lonely feeling to loose your last parent, makes you feel alone even though you do have you own family.

Awwwww...I'm sorry...that's sad...sending hugs your way!!!

I guess in that sense, I was "fortuneate" (for lack of a better word). My parents build our home on this piece of property in the middle of nowhere. My brother and I were terrified at that place -- there was definitely SOMETHING on that property that haunted both of us. Terrifying. Needless to say, when Mom sold the property after Dad passed away, I was not sad to see it go...

Regardless, I am sorry to hear you say this, and I hope that you won't look at this as a loss. Imagine the happiness of the family that now lives there! How they'll discover how that attic door sticks when you don't close it a certain way, or how that window shutter cracks against the wall when the wind blows from the north, or that neat path to the river two miles behind the house... These are all things that someone else can now discover! You should be happy that another family and live and love your home the way you and your family did!

I feel the same way when I go see my grandma. When my grandparents married they built a log cabin, they lived in that cabin for over 40 years, then the sold it and retired to Florida. Their house in Fl, just isn't the same...they didn't even take any of their furniture. I almost feel like I am in a strangers house now when I see them, they have nothing left that reminds me of my childhood.

I guess it is more that I miss my parents, than the house. I never see the house, since I live in Florida, and it is in PA. It just seems so final, like they really are gone.
