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.

Movies about grief that actually understand loss — any recommendations?

Hi everyone  I’m new here and honestly never thought I’d need a space like this, but here I am. I’ve been living with grief for a while now, and some days it’s quiet, some days it hits out of nowhere.Lately I’ve been watching movies about loss and grief - not to make myself sad on purpose, but to feel understood. Sometimes seeing grief on screen helps when it’s hard to explain what’s going on inside. The problem is that many “grief movie lists” online feel very surface-level or overly dramatic,…See More
