I sympathize with the OP but having said that my father passed away age 52. I was 21 at the time and it seemed impossible that my dad could die so soon. I think it is hard to lose a parent whatever their age may be.

He smoked heavily since he was a teenager. He suffered PTSD after WW2 and really never said much. My mother died age 94 and she was the communicator and kept the family going. I say to you that if your parents lived a long time and had a good life then that is great but counselling might help. The passage of time can assuage the grief somewhat but also know that you are not alone.
