death of my father?

Question

my dad died very suddenly. i was the one that found him, by myself. i feel like i am okay but i do think about it a lot. do you think i am bottling up my emotions inside? how do i deal?

Answer 1

I'm so very sorry for your loss, try getting out some old photo's, they may make you think of happy times and may release you built up emotions.
I really feel for you as it must be really hard for you to not imagine what you found.
You need to place your focus on what your Dad was like and the goo times that you had and then try to look for the future.
there is nothing wrong with not showing your emotions but when it does surge don't be afraid to let it all go, it WILL make you feel better.

Answer 2

oh my dear one, I am so sorry to hear this. You have been through a lot. Do you know the saying "the only way out is through"? That's what this is about: putting one foot in front of the other.
Do not expect too much from yourself and do not turn aside thoughts of your father. I have lost both parents and the recovery process is sometimes minute by minute.
If you have access to a grief counselor or grief group that specializes in losing a parent, I highly recommend it. You will find comfort in the company of others who have dealt with this kind of loss.
May God bless. Take good care of yourself and be well.

Answer 3

As all the others have said, it's not good to keep your grief to yourself.

After my dad died, I was in shock for many months. What helped was to find a bereavement support group, led by a professional counselor. Talking to a friend might help, but not everyone understands grieving, especially if they haven't been through it themselves. It's a slow process and takes time. A support group with a leader will understand what you're going through and be hable to support you and be sympathetic.

Please trust that your sorrow will ease up with time. But you never forget your parents.

Answer 4

I'm so sorry about your father. You could be subconsciencely holding back your feeling about what happened. Talk to a friend. Talk to someone. It'll come out. You need to grief. It hards. Believe me it does but you need to not bottle it up because when you do that you're only hurting yourself and olding yourself back from feeling other things. You're closing yourself from this and soon everyone.

Answer 5

You will eventually, probably, just break down. You are probably just kind of in shock right now. Let yourself grieve though, cry and all. My dad died a year ago this month and I still miss him. Sorry about your loss.

Answer 6

I'm sorry about your dad. Maybe go to a support group because there are people who might have dealt with the same things you did.

Answer 10

everyone has their own way of handling grief...talk to people when you need to cry when you need to and carry on the best way that you can.. if it interfers with your home life..work or school then it is something that you need help with. in the meantime give yourself permission to grive in your way not determined by what others think
