Not sure how long can continue to be honest. Have bad thoughts in back of mind every single day. Hard to live with . Can't believe how losing my dad can change my whole life and make me feel this way about life.
I'm sorry to hear that yesterday was such a difficult day for you. I hope that today has been a little easier.
I know that you've posted and I've replied on a few occasions over the past few weeks. Please go and speak to your GP Oreotrio. Whilst grief can be overwhelming and all consuming it's possible that you're struggling with depression or anxiety related to the loss of your Dad. If you seek help from your GP they will be able to help with this.
I also wanted to give you the link to Samaritans again. Remember that they are available 24/7 365 days a year.
Thanks Jenn. Can't believe it's 3 weeks today since dad passed away. Some days the bad thoughts and feelings aren't as intense as others . Some days I don't want to carry on. Is this normal .
Jenn isn't working at the moment but I saw your post and wanted to reassure you that what you are feeling at the moment is completely normal and natural. It's only when those bad thoughts appear too often or become too overwhelming or unmanageable that we would recommend reaching out to someone, be that your friends, family, GP or the Samaritans as Jenn mentioned, for further support and advice to help you through those more challenging moments.
Bereavement counselling can be very helpful at times like these as well. I think Jenn may have mentioned Cruse to you before but I also wanted to make you aware of the support and resources offered by Sue Ryder as they provide free short term support for anyone who is grieving. They also have a forum just like ours where you can speak with others who truly understand what you are going through. You can find out more just here.
Living and coping with grief is very tough but you are not alone and I hope some of our members will be along soon to share their experiences with you and offer their support and advice on how to cope.
You've lost someone very important in your life Oreotrio, so do be kind to yourself and for the moment, try to take things one day at a time.
