I am having such a hard time after losing my dad. I have so much anxiety now about losing other people close to me because the pain is so bad thay I don't know if I could handle anymore. I had a picture of my mom and dad and my oldest daughter and my grandson by my desk at work. I finally took it down because every time I glanced at it I would start to break down. Why does it have to hurt so much? I'm trying to come out of this lonely place I am at because I know my dad would not want us hurting but it is easier said than done. I am so tired of being sad but I can't help it. What do I do?

I want to thank for the support that I have gotten from those of you who read my post and wrote back to let me know you are here for me. I am having such a hard time feeling joy right now. When my dad passed and the mortuary people picked him up I ran straight to his room and grabbed the pillowcase off the pillow he passed on. I sometimes take it outto feel him and it has his smell still. I would probably freak out if that got lost. There is so many times it takes all I have to get up and start the day. I just really miss my dad and worry about my mom wanting to give. I just pray that one day I can feel better.

As the one year anniversary approaches of Dad's passing I feel deeply am trying to gather inner strength.  However; I am still so lost without him.

Now I am not sure what to do for Mom, she is extremely needy and I am not complaining but I am concerned.  My husband took me to Disney World for the first time ever this January, I called her every morning to check in on her and share my first moments with her.  The hardest conversation was when we were in the Magic Kingdom.  I called her just as I entering the gates and saw Cinderella's Castle for the first time.  She and Dad always wanted to bring me to see and I wanted her with me when I saw it.  I had not counted on my emotional reaction to seeing it or hers to hearing me see it.  When I came home and went to visit her, Mom cried like a child in my arms.  I promised to never go on vacation again, my heart was broken.  My mother was inconsolable.  She always tells me she does not want me to put my life on hold for her, yet I have gone away three times since Dad's passing and each time when I came home she was sad.  The first was July 4th, we went to NY to visit my husband's father and family as he had not seem them in a few years.  The second was a return trip to NY three days before Thanksgiving because my father in law had passed away we were home for the holiday, and then Disney.  Sometimes I hang up from calling her feeling like the worst daughter ever.  I am so scared she will die of a broken heart.  I do all I can to be there for her but it feels like sometimes I am not doing enough.

I am so happy I found this site. I am having such a hard time dealing with my dads death. I know that my other siblings are suffering to. I miss my dad so much he was just a wonderful dad. We did not have much growing up but we knew we had love from our mom and dad. My mom is having a hard time to and I'm afraid she is going to give up and that would hard to. I just am needing an outlet to talk and heal. I just miss my dad so much that I had to step down from my position at work for a while because I was just not caring and the grief is to much. I hope I can meat people here that understand what I am going through. I just miss my dad so much.

Welcome, Stephanie. I know exactly how you feel and I am sorry for your loss. This site, sometimes just knowing that it is here, has helped me tremendously since I lost my father in March 2012. And recently, even though it has almost been a year and my life has continued on, I have found myself upset on many occasions just thinking about him. I hope that you can find the solace you need and support you need from this site, as I have. It's going to be a journey but in time... IN YOUR OWN TIME, you and your mother will heal. Celebrate your father's memory, talking about it makes it better, remember the good things and reminisce often with others. It helps. Best wishes in your journey.

I am new to this site but I hope that I can get through my grief. I lost my dad on December 12,2012. The pain I feel is bad that I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. He was the best dad anybody could want. I stayed the last night with him before he passed and I stayed up all night just watching him sleep. I am have so much depression it is so head. I know he is not suffering anymore but it's still hard. Him and my mom were married 54 years and she is also suffering. I know death is part of life but boy it still hurts.

My wife has had 15 surgeries while battling her cancer. Each one as scary as the next.

It is frustrating when the doctors can't get it right the first time. Frustrating and SCARY.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
