Dad loss

Losing a parent
1

It’s been almost 7 months since i lost my dad. Completely unexpected. 7 months on and i still can’t come to terms with it, one minute im all happy then the next i just get a memory and then im in tears, will it ever stop? It hurts, it hurts so fkn much, all i can think about is all the firsts im gonna have without him, the first boyfriend he gets to meet, never meeting his grandchildren, never walking me down the aisle.

I’m loosing my mind and i’m struggling more than ever, but heyho, gotta try and live my life right.

It feels like everyone’s moved on with their life, and i don’t like to burden anyone, and im just really fucking suffering.

Hi, well done for reaching out on this platform. Griefing can feel a very lonely place but on here I am sure you will get support and understanding. 7 months is not a long time so please be kind to yourself and take each day as it comes, some good days and some not so good. I lost my husband very suddenly just over a year ago and i know my grown up kids in their early 30s are still finding it hard to get back to feeling that life will be ok and even happy again. Time is a great healer. Maybe reach out for some grief counselling? Look after yourself.
