This week has been pretty hard grief wise and I feel a bit alone with my sadness. I hoped this page could help me express how I am feeling and have the understanding of others going through it too.
My dad died 2 months ago, although he was unwell for a few years I didnt really think he would die (he was a fighter for sure).
If I dont think about my Dad, my days are just ok, however, nothing seems happy anymore.
When I think of my dad its just devastatingly sad.
I dont want to worry my mum, as she is grieving herself, as are my siblings and everyone else it seems moves on with their own life, whilst I am stuck feeling the saddest I have ever felt with no one to turn to.
As time moves forward, the more I feel I cant talk to my friends about my sadness as I have went from a positive, fun person to one who can no longer see anything good in each day.
Anyway, I feel slightly better for typing this.
It would be nice to connect with others who could chat and perhaps I can make things feel lighter for you too xx
Thank you for sharing - I completely relate to what you are saying. It can feel like life shouldn’t be moving on and the sadness can feel consuming. You are still very early on in your grief journey and I’m sure your friends will understand that you’re not fully yourself. I’m glad you found some comfort in typing this out, and I hope you continue to find ways to process how you’re feeling. I find having a big cry or sometimes even a scream (usually in my car) at my frustration at the world can feel quite therapeutic haha. I’m also usually a very positive and bubbly person but loss definitely made me view the world differently. There is hope though - I’m 9 months on now and I’m feeling much more myself. Sending you love, and I’m also here to chat x
