I’m so sorry. My dad passed away when I was a kid, and it was horrible. The only thing that really helped was taking the time to work through my feelings. Your local hospice center might have free grief counseling and support groups where you can discuss your feelings surrounded by people who have been there. They helped me a lot. Talk with your family about your feelings. This might be hard, because many families have trouble talking about deep things, but it is better than everyone feeling totally alone in their grief. You might also need to temporarily increase your medication, because grief messes with your neurotransmitters badly. But talk to your doctor about that.

I’m so sorry! My mom passed away 8.5 years ago. I still miss her a lot. My advice for anyone who’s lost someone close is to take the time to mourn, and as life goes on, don’t stop yourself from continuing to grieve when feelings come up.
Be patient and kind to yourselves as you each process what has happened and the great loss you’ve suffered.

I am sorry, DN… I lost my dad years ago, but I guess what helps is my memories with him.
Take care

I’m so sorry to hear this tragic news.
I’ve lost quite a few close people to me.
The only advice I can think of to offer is to allow yourself to go through the grieving process.
And also please try and be kind to yourself in the process also.
Take care,

I’m sorry for your loss. The loss of a loved one is very difficult and will take time to come to terms with. Hopefully, you and your family can support each other during this sad time.

In the last thirteen years, my father, brother, son, aunt, and mother all died in that time frame. I had no problem with any of them dying except for my son. That was a hard one. He died by suicide. He strangled himself the martial arts way. My son was a martial artist. I dealt with it by immersing myself in my religion and by talking to my son everyday in a prayer journal that I kept for a year and a half and by visiting his grave marker every day for a year and a half. These practices were quite healing.
I am sorry for your loss @DN_89. I hope you heal over time.
