Struggling to cope with my dads death

My dad passed away from lung cancer last year. It's almost a year, It doesn't feel like a year. I feel so lost without him he was my best friend. One of the only people I ever truly trusted and confided in. It's completely changed my outlook on life, the way I treat other people. While I appreciate the people around me sooo much more; I miss him, I feel it in my chest everyday. I just don't know what to do now, the feeling doesn't leave. I feel so lost right now.

  • My sister was killed by a drunk driver when she was 20 and I was 29 and it hurts so much the pain of the loss as you say it feels as if its crushing your chest but the pain never goes away but you cope with it.  I still think about her at least once a week and I am now 64 but at least now I can think about the daft and fun things she did and not just the bad thing (her death).   So just get through one day at a time xxx
