He was not that old, and he died unexpectently. I keep dreamin about him all the time, that he is still alive,and then I wake up in the morning and I feel overwhelmed by grief again. I have been dreaming that he was stroking my cheek as I lay in bed and on a couple of occasions I have woken up and swore blind that I can still feel stroking on my cheek, as though this is actually happening. Could this be my imagination or am i going mad?

First of all, I am terribly sorry for the lost of your dear father.
Its obvious, you like your late dad so dearly, and he too loved you very much. He seems to have been a terrific dad, god bless him.
No, you are not mad at all! You just miss him so much, that you always imagin he is with you as he should be physically.
My own dad passed away at the age of 96! Yet, I am still miss him; because he was very good father to all of us, his children.
Be strong and have faith, both in yourself and in the right place of yyour dear father, in Heaven!
God Bless you!
All the best!

Often in sleep we try to work out things that happen in our lives that are unresolved. This may be in part what is going on. But I also believe when loved when pass especially if they are worried about the loved ones they left behind they are somehow with them often through dreams, etc. It may be the deep protective emotions your Father feels for you are still with you. I'm grieving over the loss of my Mother and have had similar experiences.
You should be able to contact a grief support group in your area, it can really help. Your local hospice can often point you in the driection of one in your local area, they will help anyone going through grief, even if you did not use hospice services.
I wish you the best.

What's happening to you is commonly heard from people who've lost people they love. You're not going mad. It's simply something the mind creates in order to help transition us through a difficult time. Eventulally the dreams will lessen in frequency and intensity, but they'll probably never stop completely.
I wish you peace and strength during this difficult time.

Your mind is trying to get through the loss of your father, which is very traumatic for you. You are not going mad. Some believe that the dead can still contact the living and it is up to you to determine what you believe. Remember the good times and that your father loves you and would want you to go on be happy.

no, it's normal.. sometimes you want it so bad that you go and let your imagination run. I've gone through the same pain of losing my father, and it's hard after being daddy's little girl.. my heart goes out to you, my personal advice is just to pray to God for his soul.. you'll feel much better at least knowing he's in a better place.

Well, if you're bonding is so great, that will surely occur in your dreams. But be sure not to eat too much at night. Or else, you will not wake up. As much as possible, eat light dinner only and before going to bed, say a little prayer for your Dad.
Have a nice day!

these are very powerful emotions that you are feeling right now while they can be wonderful, at times they can be gut-wrenching sad... but treasure them as they are memories of events that likely will not happen to you again...
im sorry man, i lost my dad too when i was just 5 years old... and those memories are just what i have to remember him by...

He's coming to tell you he's okay, and you will be, too.
My deepest condolences. Reminiscing about the good times with those who knew him really helps with grief.

Sorry about your father, I guess you're still in the state of shock, just give yourself time.
