I lost my Dad June 12th

This is my first loss of someone close to me.  I'm overwhelmed, was out of state for 2 weeks and have to start resuming my life today in a few hours.  I don't feel ready.  Maybe you never feel ready for a long time.  Ours was a conflicted relationship.  He wrote me a letter asking my forgiveness which I thought might free me from some of what I'm feeling.  It was a perfect letter.  I don't feel like I should drive, but I have to.  Almost 3 weeks and it is still just too new.  I'm here seeking support and will give that back freely.   J

I am sorry for your loss. No words can explain or reason what you are feeling. Your emotions will take you all over the place, it is a complete state of confusion and nothing will get you back to normal. I will pray for you and just know it is a process and you will have to find your way via various avenues to keep you going. I am sorry if this is not sugar coated but its reality. I was close to my dad and he passed away March 4th and i still bounce back and forth with my emotions. I miss him dearly and try to figure how how to deal at times and at other times i am okay. So may God give you the strength to endure and send you support where you need it. Love and God bless ya, mel
