I lost my father in 1969 and it is still haunting me to this day, any advice for a wandering soul?

My early life was ruined because mine would never do that... He was an as*shole that thought too higly of himself to ever hurt himself... just everyone else around him. That is how he got his sh*it's and giggles.
To each his own I suppose?
Just goes to show you... Life is really what you make of it as a result of what you are given. and all you really have to do is make a conscience effort to change your thought process...
Just imagine what your father would have wanted for you and stop using his death as an excuse.

My husband's father committed suicide. I am really very sorry this is still troubling you. Have you talked to any type of counsellor?
I know my husband had many problems for years after the death. He resorted to drugs. Thank god he finally got his life straight. He got counselling from a psychiatrist, and I know he was on anti-depressants for a while.
Depression does tend to run in families, so perhaps part of your sadness is actually medical?
I really do feel for you. I hope you are able to overcome this.

I seriously don't know what to say, death is horrible, it truly is and I really am sorry for your loss but don't you think your dad wants you to live a happy life? Think of it this way, when you're sad in life, your father will be sad and well I am sure you wouldn't want that. Just live your life, god has given you this life to make the best of it no matter how bad it can be, the sun will always shine :)

I'm sorry. I think that would be one of the most tragic things in the world to deal with. I have a friend whose dad commited suicide just last year, and he has had a tough time coping. Counseling has helped him a lot, and I think knowing that his dad wasn't "himself" when he took his life. His dad was in a state of depression at the time. I know that is no excuse, but I think he knows that if his dad was in his rational mind, he would have never left him, his brothers, and his mom. Good luck to you.

goodness - i am sorry that happened to u - - i'm sure a parent is much worse, but i had a "boyfriend" do that - - i loved him more than life itself - it happened the day before Christmas eve - - THE worst day of my life - - i'm older now and i realize people have chemical problems - - just think of it as the end of their suffering.
i'm very sorry - but 've been there and i'm quite surprised i actually made it through............
hang, baby, hang - - u know "the best is yet to come!"
good luck
