Lost my Dad the end of September, we were super close. I’ve asked everyone to not talk to me about him to me or (bring up well being/loss/death) … so far it’s working in the sense I can lock it all down. Just wondering if anyone else has done this? If it helped?
Hello @Just.a.girl,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad. Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m just giving your thread a gentle, “bump” for you - hopefully someone will have some thoughts to share.
Take good care,
Alex
Hi there, I lost my dad suddenly in August. I’m ok talking about him but my mom is pretending he is away for work so I guess she is trying to process it in her own way but I know the struggle is real. My condolences to you and your family. It’s crummy
Do you find you can talk about your dad passing? I can’t do the “are you ok” or the “death event” I just can’t talk about any of it! Or anything’s “death” which is posing hard at work! Sorry for your loss also! It’s so sad

Hi, I lost my mum, my best friend, late September. I try to keep my time to really think about it all to when I’m on my own. I can’t talk about what happened in person to anyone as it makes it too real and upsetting. I also don’t do well when someone asks “how are you?” then it all just rises up within me as I’m far from ok and not sure I’ll ever be fully ok again. These last few months have been torture and I feel I am just trying to get through each day rather than really living. I just wish I’d wake up and find it was all a nightmare.
I can talk about it. It sucks and I never really know what to say tbh. Sometimes I make weird noises to respond like meh or longer versions of meeeeeeh which I think helps as people then don’t know how to really respond after that haha less follow up questions. I guess I’m coping better than I thought but it sucks. Big time.
