Does anyone know of any organizations for adult orphans that meet up for support or can help meet local adult orphans? I really need support.

I lost my mom on June 13th 2024 after being her caretaker for 12 years. She died and awful traumatizing death and every person I tried to call didn't answer, except my dad, but he told me that I asked for too much when I asked him to be there so I didn't have to watch my mom die alone. And so I had to watch my mom die alone, and grieve alone. Then less than 7 months later, my dad died, so any chance for him to be a better father died with him. I had to grieve him alone too. I dont really have a relationship that I can lean on. I don't really have a spouse, my friends don't understand why I can't just get past this and even say I'm not like I used to be. I just need to be around people who get it. I'm not only an adult orphan, I'm a 36 year old that feels forgotten by the world because I don't have a family, and I don't have a spouse, and it feels like at my age all my friends are too busy with their own families to be there for me. Holidays are the worst, I hate them. I just need support and to build relationships with people who get it so I dont feel so alone anymore.
