living without my dad :'(

my dad passed away nearly three months ago and ever since everything has changed, day to day tasks are really hard i cant sleep and think i have deppression :( me and my dad did everything together he would even go clothes shopping with me and we would have a right laugh. i cant even go shopping or do anything anymore without bursting ino tears and making a fool out of myself i allways feel alone like no one understands what im going through...i feel so empty i feel horrible all the time and being 17 i feel that thers so much that im going to miss out on without him being in my life even writing this i just wanna cry :'( i hate it nothing is ever gonna be the same ever again....i really miss my dad

RE: living without my dad :'(

hi my dad died 4 years ago and the way i finally learnt to cope with it was by not morning his death but celabrating his life and remembering all the things we did and not what i missed. I would go places that we went to and instead of it getting to me that he couldnt be there with me i thought about what we did there with him. It worked well for me and has helped me a lot i still miss him but i know he would rather be glad to think of him this way than get upset about missing him. I hope this will help you too and you will see it as a way of getting through.

RE: living without my dad :'(

January 2012 i lost my mum. leaving behind my dad and me.
Not a day went by when we didnt miss her. And everyday we would talk to her. I did bereavement counselling and it helped alot,maybe you should give it a go. December 25th 2011 i lost my dad.... I wasnt ready for him to go and he wasnt ready to go. We had tickets for the closing ceremony of the olympics .Dad knew he was terminal but we thought he had years,but all he got was 3 months.... ( but thats another story)
I miss him so very much,what i wouldnt give to have him back..I have my good days and bad days... I can be sitting here looking at his empty chair and just cry. writing this i can feel myself welling up :(
I have my memories and i like to think they are both watching over me
watching my every move... My life has completely changed. Im scared,excited but more then anything so very sad.Time is a good healer, and i will be taking the counselling path as i felt that helped me alot... we assume our parents are going to live forever, well i did..
My mum and dad are now re-united together again .
Having loving friends and a supportive family has helped me alot... I wish you well x
