My father died recently, and after losing my mother when I was a teenager, I am now parentless at age 32. My dad did a lot of strange things that I feel somewhat betrayed by, including basically taking on a 'second family' in the last few years of his life. (Basically gold diggers who were after his money.)

So I feel that I was processing his death for only a day or two before these people did things so dramatic and upsetting, it kind of stalled my grief process. I feel almost completely in denial that he has died...I even pick up the phone to call him several times a week.

Does anyone have any advice on how to process these feelings, or grief in general? I thought I'd felt alone in the past, but now I realize I had no idea what loneliness could really look like.
