I lost my dad on 2/29/16 to a very short 8 month battle from stage 4 liver, lung and brain cancer. At first I thought I was doing ok but as the days progress I just find myself getting sadder and sadder. I miss my dad like crazy! It seems like no one can say the right things to be able to comfort me! :( Does it ever get better??? I'm at a complete loss...

I can relate to that. I lost my dad on Feb 19,2012. for the longest time everytime someone said it would get easier and the pain will ease. I was like yeah right. But I know that the pain has eased for the most part. but I still miss him dearly. All I can say is to remember all the good times. Remember that he is watching over you and is near you just can't see him. But it does get better in time. But make sure you let yourself grief. There is no time for grief it depends on you. If someone tells you to just get over it... DON'T listen because you got to give your time to heal. I still miss my dad very much and many times which he wasn't gone. but what helps me is remember his most like songs. which i will go on youtube and listen to them. while looking at his pictures. Sometimes I will laugh and sometimes I will cry. Because i want it to be real and not just memories. Talking about him helps to. rather its with a friend or family. But My advice to you would be let the grief help you to heal because if not you wont get better. and remember he is around you just can't see him but you can feel them. I won't lie the first year is going to be your worst. but it will get easier over the years. birthdays, holidays, fathers day, are the worst for me still. I hope this helps you. 

Thank you for your response! It helps knowing that I'm not the only one going through this. All I want is for it to get easier! I miss him so much everyday. This is my first Fathers Day without him and I won't lie I didn't think it'd be this hard. I just wish I could hug him and say one last goodbye.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
