Don't grieve alone; 14,000 members and growing
My dad passed away suddenly on Halloween. In the week that followed I was strong so that my mom and little brother could fall apart. When a decision had to be made, they came to me. After the worst week of my life was over I went back to school. But now, I'm not back. I tried but I had breakdown after breakdown and had to take a leave of absence. I feel like I don't know who I am without my dad here. I'm trying but I can't. I feel like I'm unraveling and I can't get it all back together. Does anyone else feel like this? How do you get through it? How does it get easier?

Hi Jillian,
I've been reading through all these posts and yours is one that I can relate to. My dad also passed away unexpectedly. I also had to be the rock for my mom who depended completely on him. I also have to take care of my own family on my own, so a lot of responsibility falls on my shoulders. I have also had a few break downs but have to keep pushing forward because the one thing I keep thinking is, my dad would want me to be strong. He always, always had faith in me. I miss him so much it hurts sometimes to breathe. But I just wanted to reach out to you and tell you that you are not alone and that I understand. Sending you an online hug. ((((Jillisn)))) Kathy
