Why am I feeling like this?

Hi everyone, 

 

ive posted quite a lot on here recently, but I’m just soo confused as to why I am feeling this way. My wonderful daddy passed away on the 8th August and his funeral was on Wednesday the 21st. Everyone has commented on how beautiful my daddy’s funeral was- and how proud he would be.

 

I still don’t feel as if any of this is real - even though it is. I’m  just not as upset as I have been before this all happened- my dads put up a very hard and strong battle for months and months on end and I have cried soo much over the last couple of years. However, the last week or two I have hardly cried - well compared to what I have done in the past or to what I thought I would be. Is this normal ? 

It genuinely feels as if my daddy is still here and im just not seeing him today. Yet it has been almost 2 weeks ... how is this ? 

 

I have to constantly remind myself what has happened. My daddy was my world, my best friend and someone who id give my life up for if the chance arose.

i just don’t know what to do with myself. Next week is my final week off before work ( I work in a school so I’m off for the school holidays). And i don’t want to go back as the whole reason I went for the job was so that I could see my daddy and have a job too. 

 

I just feel inhuman. 

 

 

  • Hi Rebecca. I’m in the same boat. My mum was diagnosed May 2nd this year but was ill for a long time before this. I started grieving for mum the day we were told, I’ve never cried quite like it before, that day and the night she died were the most painful days of my life. Mum got taken into hospital for a week and then a hospice for 6 days before she let herself go she was told she wasn’t fit to go home as she deteriorated quickly and it just wasn’t safe - she died the next day. 

    I cried everyday during the last 2 weeks I just can’t cry anymore. I didn’t even cry at mums funeral yesterday.  She died on Aug 27th. I feel like I’m being selfish that I’m not being more emotional or in more pain.
