Hi. I just recently lost my father on January 16th, 2025. I have not been able to eat , sleep really or do anything other than be in my head. Does it get easier with time? Or will I forever feel like this?
Hello @Kei,
Iām so sorry for the loss of your father. There is no timeline for how long grief lasts, or how you should feel after a particular time. You might find it helpful to read our support page on how long grief lasts. It talks you through some of the feelings you may experience, now and in the future.
I also want to reassure you that not being able to eat or sleep is really normal, especially when a loss is as recent as yours. You may wish to read our page on the physical symptoms of grief, which has some tips on how to cope.
I hope you find the community to be a support to you. You are not alone.
Take good care,
Seaneen
