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.
Thank you for your comment Danny! It is very tough making big decisions. :)

welcome !  was hoping you would not be offended but yes am trying myself to postpone big decisions if i can.

She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
