i lost my dad a yr ago and im still findin it hard 2 cope with out him what should i do?

Answer 1

Get grief counseling. The loss of a parent is hard to get over. Let someone help you through it. Hang in there :)

Answer 2

I lost my dad when I was 15 to Leukemia...I am 27 now and still have a hard time when I think about all the time I have lost with him. It will always be hard, and you will always wonder what life would have been like if he was still around....but, it DOES get easier, and some of the best things I do is brag to people about how good and honest he was. About how he still took me fishing even though he was so sick he could barely move...things he did, even though he didn't HAVE to. Thats the stuff to remember and be proud of.
You will find each day gets better after awhile...just take it slowly, and I know its a cliche, but remember the GREAT times!

Answer 3

It isn't easy, its a sadness that just goes on. But time does make it better. To tell you the truth you never get over something like that completely, but it gets better. Believe me, it does. "time heals all wounds" is true. You have to understand also that your dad obviously loved you very much and a thing that would be real important to him is that you be happy. So do your best to live your life in a way that you know would make him proud. If you accomplish some big goal by all means dedicate it in his honor, dedicate it to him, tell him about it if you want to pray to his spirit. Put a smile on your face when you think about him, rest in his love, and know that he treasured you deeply. Peace.

Answer 4

Maybe you could find yourself an older, father figure. It's always very hard losing a parent, no matter what the age. When you think back, think about the happy times. Keep loved ones around you, and remember that time is short, appreciate them while you can.

Answer 5

I lost my Mom 5 years ago and I also am having a hard time coping. Surround your self with family and friends. If it gets to be so much more than that, call your MD. Good Luck to you!

Answer 6

My daddy died 10 years ago this last April and I still have a hard time without him. He was my rock. What helps me get through is to do the right things...I always ask myself, "What would daddy say about this?" I'm 40 and this helps because I feel like he is guiding me.

My prayers are with you!

Answer 7

Try to keep your father's memory alive by thinking of him and remembering the time you spent together. It usually takes about a year to go through the stages of grief so hopefully you will start to feel better.

You have to reach the point where you can let go before you start to heal.

Answer 8

I lost my dad 11 years ago and sometimes it is still very fresh in my heart, especially if I visit the grave, Here is what I do I think back on all the moments I spent with my dad, you know he tought me how to shoot a basketball, he tought me how to swing a bat, how to catch a ball, but lifes lessons from our dads and we have to step up to the plate and think what would dad do in this situation and soon before you know it you are making decisions all by ourselves, just like dad would have done, I have two friends who just lost their dads, both different ages and different backgrounds, the first friend, her name cari, she is 14 years of age she attended my church where I was her sunday school teacher, and in my teaching i tought that in everything give God the praise, no matter what you situation in life is, well caris story goes like this, her dad was 34 years of age when he died, just a couple of weeks ago, before he died, cari came up to the pastor and asked would he agree with her for her dad to be saved, so the pastor with tears in his eyes said yes he would, infact we have a basket of names in our church that we pray over every monday night, well we all stood in prayer over her dad for weeks, then one sunday night the youth which cari is involved in had a drama to perform, the drama was all about turning you life over to a loving GOD, well guess what her dad came that night he had been drinking but that doesnt stop God from touching you heart, this man who we had never met got up and came to the altar and asked JESUS into his heart, while his on daughter cari prayed with him, well about a month ago cari and her siblings were taken by social services and put into an orphange her dad spen the rest of his life in the hospital sober of alcohol, cari sang at her dads funneral rascal flat song, (what hurts the most) she never had a relationship with her dad here on earth, but in heaven she can spend eternity with him, Praise God, for his perfect timing,

The next person is a 50 + year old man named barry, his dad was never a drinking man never caused anyone any harm, kinda kept to himself barry led his dad to the LORD also, he died a few months ago and isnt it always the case, it seems harder always around birthdays and special events like thanksgiving and christmas, the pain is the same in all of our caseses we all loved our dads and we all miss our dads, situations are not always the same, but the hurt is always there, so try remembering the times you spent with dad and get out of the house and enjot the day just as if he were right next to you , Its my prayer that God will be very real in your life today, and tomorrow With Gods help the pain will heal. may God richly bless you in your life,

Answer 9

i've never lost a parent but i've had some troubles with my dad and i never ever talked about it....then i started IMing this person i've never met and i talk to them all the time and i tell them all my problems and stuff...it really helped me, it's much easier to talk about this stuff to a stranger, i think

Answer 10

hello
although you love your dad.
your LIFE can't stop. your dad would want
you to continue on.Its wrong, its unfair.
but you can stop life.KEEP LOVING HIM
and thinking of him. but resume your
life.This feeling of hurt, guilt,sorrow..sometimes remains there,but it will slowly move to the back of our mind.
with all respects.
best
