I miss him so much. I don't know how to live my life anymore. I've just been getting through by keeping myself busy but I want to be HAPPY again. Does anyone else know what I'm going though/have any advice? I feel really alone and don't have anyone to talk to. My dad was depressed and would call me constantly and I started ignoring his calls. I have so much guilt associated with everything. I didn't talk to him before he died, I didn't even know that he had gotten sick. Now I feel like I am the depressed one that no one wants to deal with and death is a constant rumbling on the horizon. Can anyone relate?

I know exactly how you feel my father died in July, I am totally lost with out him. I dont know how I will ever get over him not being here with me anymore. I am so depressed and scared. I dont feel safe in the world anymore. I havent been able to work or hardly go out in public. It is very hard. Everybody says it will get better, I can only hope. Have you tried going to a therapist or a grief support group? I go to a therapist and that seems to help at times. Talking is good.

Yes I lost my son and that left a few big gaping holes in our relationship that can never heal
BUT, I have learned that even those holes are a part of life and relationships. So PLEASE do not let your depression allow more holes and pain in the relationships around you. Forgive yourself and love your Dad now. He has forgiven you completely.

I'm sorry about your loss eventhebirds. Just know that we all have things we regret and wish we would have done differently. Your dad would not want you to blame yourself and I believe he is happy now and in a better place. I miss my dad and brother too, but I try to remember that and it helps to get me through.
Peace and serenity to you.

I am sorry for your loss. I lost my Daddy 6 yrs ago and it is still so very hard. I know about the depression it causes, but you can fight this. Somehow we find ways to cope and keep functioning and living. Do you see a therapist or have you thought of joining a grief group? Those are 2 options that are open to you. Good luck.
