I lost my dad two weeks and a day ago. I don't know how to continue going on! I feel like i died that day as well. He was my number one fan, my bestfriend, the one person I could tell anything to and it was ok. He was always proud of me even when I had let everyone else down. I keep trying to tell myself that he is on vacation and I can call when he gets back but there will never be another call....The pain is just unbearable

Maggie May,
I too have the depression and grief. IT's been about 6 months, and I tell myself that I can deal with this, but on days I start shaking thinking about the horror of it all. Some days I can live like nothing has happened, then I start thinking and am in disbelief that I cannot call and talk to him anymore forever!

My dad was my best friend. He was my rock. My dad was my hero, the only person on this entire planet who actually listened when I spoke and understood what I was trying to say. It will be 5 years on March 1st... I'm having a very difficult time with it. "I want my dad back", I've been saying that ever since it happened... The depression and grief comes in waves, even 5 years later. Out of no where it just hit me tonight - the sadness is so overpowering that I had to reach out for help. I doubt anyone is listening, but if you are, just know... the intensity of the pain and loss dulls as times goes on but the grief is everlasting

I am 27 years old, my dad died January 27, 2010 due to a major stroke in his brain stem. It was very sudden and unexpected, he was only 57. The doctors told us he would make a sixty to ninety percent recovery, but then they didn't realize where the stroke actually happened and the affects it had on his system. I believe I am still in shock over this. I am a part time funeral director and am in grad school part time working on my masters in social work. It was a blessing to help my family help make the difficult decisions during the funeral arrangements, but it was like I was numb and it wasn't my dad's funeral who I was planning. Just a very strange/surreal experience.

I am 23 years old. I lost my dad, unexpectantly, 6 weeks ago. I can't comprehend why or how he is gone. During the days immediately following his death, I had my myself believing that he's just playing a joke on us. Despite still participating in school and work, I find that all I do is cry and dream of him. I want him back. I didn't get enough time with him and that makes me sad. I feel like I could have done more in order to save him. If only I had a time machine...

It has been 8 months since I lost my dad. Last month I finally decided to go see a counselor because I was so miserable and just boxing all of my emotions up. The first two visits all I did was cry. I didn't realize that I was harboring so much guilt over my dad's death. He had a massive stroke during surgery and I had to help my mom make those tough decisions his last few days before he died, like stopping the medicine, etc. I guess I will always wonder if we made the right choices?

Dara,
Trust me you are not alone! I am a 38 yr old married woman for 13 years, mother of 2 and 1 step-daughter that still feels I am losing my mind. I lost my dad after a sudden loss just 4 1/2 mths ago. I feel like I am losing my mind. I am a PT working mom and a full time master's student. Trust me you are not alone!!!! Please let me know if I can share any of my experience or advice with you. I am seeking counceling and have gone to my DR. I am a marathon runner and anyone fromt eh outside would never know I was dying inside!!! I understand....

Sometimes I just come in and read all the posts and feel that everyone of them speaks to how I feel. I do that just so I can feel that I'm not going crazy, and that there are people out there ( you guys) that know exactly what I'm going through and it helps so much. It's been 2 months now and I miss my Dad desperately.

I lost my father very suddenly on Sept. 17th. He was 68 years old. I am an only child and was a complete daddy's girl. My family lived right next door to he and my mom. We were literally the Everyone Loves raymond family, not anymore. It is so horrible because he was our life. My kids were his life. My mom is a mess and is unfortunately not getting any help yet. She takes her frustartions out on us since we live so close. My father died of misadministration of the drug TPA. He hemmorraged due to poor timing of it after his mini stroke. I would be so honored to honor my father by joining this group.

I lost my dad two years ago in April but everyday I relive the pain and guilt, I just dont seem able to move on. He was my best friend and we were so close...my 3 sisters all seem to have gotten on with their lives but I can't every day I try to fake being ok and it's so hard...the nights the worst all I can think about is him being alone in that hospital bed scared and in pain and dying alone..the guilt and the pain is destroying my life...I know this sounds so dramatic and over the top and I've probably posted this in the wrong place but I have no where else to go or anyone to turn to and I've kept it inside for so long it's killing me.
