Well, a psychologist, psychotherapist, or a Social worker, can suggest ways to cope. Grief is a very individual process. There are also lots of books regarding grief & ways folk have coped. Is there a grief group in your community? Also starting a journal where the first question you might address is, "What exactly am I grieving......about Dad........then, about Mom?" Each day you go back to your journal you can read what you thought yesterday.... & then add to it , or think about why you are grieving a certain thing ? You can write about an idea you have read about grief. You become your own best friend. Good luck.

Stay with us on connect. Keep on keeping on. No one is alone. Your body / mind reactions are normal. The traumas and reactions have been suppressed until now. Your systems were Protecting you. Now is the time for the dam to have broken. All the feelings and reactions your systems were entitled to are erupting now, all at once. It is overwhelming, but your systems have "waited" until they knew you were STRONG ENOUGH now to deal with it. It is painful and needs a great deal of time for the outflow to become manageable. It does not disappear, but it becomes "smaller."
At 33 you have more time to work on this than if it hit you at 63😊.
