Still not coping after 6 years

hi, 

my dad past away to cancer on the 15th on may 2010. 6 years have past and I still haven't gotten past it, I don't know what's wrong with me, whenever something bad happens it instantly reminds me of it and I have trouble coping. It sends me into a dark place, where all I do is cry. I begin to think what is the point in bothering if everyone will end up like that. I expected this is what it's like after a year or two but I didn't think it would last this long. I don't know what to do 

  • I wonder if you should get some help or counsellung. See if your GP will refer you.  

  • hi pippa,

    there's no time limit on grief... and there isn't a way you should "feel"... when my mom passed about 5 months ago i was told you will never "get over" it but in time will learn to live with it.. i believe this is true for most... 

    however if you feel this is effecting your life in such a way it's disrupting it then maybe councling will help you or if you are depressed then anti-depressants might help... and you should seek out this help...

    god bless.
