Your parents were truly blessed to have you. You were there for them, and paid the price for that. I'm so glad that your therapists at least are helpful. Some people (your Mom's lawyer for instance) have no clue about compassion or thinking outside of their little boxes. It's so hard when you have to deal with them on top of everything else.
For me, I went down in flames before my Mom actually died. I had to get my brother to help me, I could barely go in the same room as her at the end. I was obsessed and terrified about the sleep, and just couldn't deal with watching her die on top of that. That experience was another one beyond words, beyond thoughts, I just physically could not cross that threshold. My psyche was totally overwhelmed.
You mentioned that you still miss your parents, five years after and I too still dream about my parents several times a week. I'm interested to see how this grief process will unfold further, and how it will eventually be incorporated into who I am.
Take care.
