Hi Marie,
I’m sorry you are struggling. I am also struggling and the grief of losing my dad is relentless. It will be 4 months on Wednesday since I lost my dad and I also feel no better with the passing of time. The sadness lasts all day and despite keeping myself busy I feel constantly distracted thinking of my dad.
I feel like a vastly different person to the one I was before I found out my dad was ill. It was like life switched in an instant with the news that dad had terminal cancer and it’s never been the same since. I have gone from being a motivated, enthusiastic and positive person to someone who feels dread, anger and stress. I am struggling to even think clearly and don’t feel like my brain is working at times. I also feel panicked at the thought of forgetting my dad even though I know this isn’t possible.
I have found that some days I can plod along despite the sadness and other days like today it feels completley debilitating. I try to just get through the day as best as I can and when I’m struggling I try to think of what my dad would tell me to do.
It’s truly awful to be going through this. I have had appointments with a councellor and I think these feelings are normal part of grieving process. I hope you have people supporting you, I don’t feel like I have a lot of people to talk to about my grief so posting on here helps.
Take care.

Just feel so depressed and no motivation most days my kids can clearly see there dad is not in the best of places at the moment as my oldest daughter is always worrying about its not her job to be doing it thats my job for her. I just need to find a way out of this dark hole im in jusr seems harder and harder each dau my mom would always be there to help me at this time with her guidance etc world just seem scary to face it without her there anymore. Just wish we could of had more years togther see jer grandkids grow.

Me and my partner seem to be drifting aparr i just i dont know if its my feelings or just everything going on and my head just isnt myself at the moment.
