wedding blues

I lost my dad almost a year and half ago. He went to heaven after fighting kidney failure for about a year. It seems like some days are tougher than others. It still seems like he is just "on vacation" some times and that he will call soon. I am getting married next month and am struggling with his absence. Is there ways to make this easier? Any tips? I still find myself crying at random when I think that he won't be there and he is actually" gone" from this world. I find myself thinking about the times we spent together and how I feel like it has made me pretty bitter.

Thanks for reading
Sarah

Yes Sarah it is almost like a parent is on vacation sometimes and maybe it helps a bit to think this way, just to absorb the shock. Tips ? The only thing I can suggest if possible is to postpone any major plans for at least two years so like 6 months more in your case. Its not advisable to do anything major for 2-3 years following a major shock. I myself am doing a life review of Dad and that is more important than anything else. Went to his former office, etc.

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.
