    • About Me

      I lost my dad on November 6th of 2007 to a heart attack. My brother and dad went hunting that weekend and my brother woke up and found my dad not breathing on November 4th. He was rushed to the hospital and never woke up. We came to a difficult decision to take my dad off of life support November 6th 2007. Me and my dad had a very distant relationship during his passing and now the guilt is literally killing me. I don't use the people around me and find my pushing away when I know I should be doing the opposite. I miss my dad very much.

      From LLBFAN1 October 16, 2008

      Everyone deals with their grief in different ways. I lost my husband on 7/20 of this year. I had to take down pictures of him we had in the house because all I would do was cry. I've since put some of them back up but it's still hard. I also drive by the hospital where he passed away and it just feels strange not to go in. I tend to try drive the hospital a little fast to get by it quicker. It makes me so sad to know that he died there. Keep your chin up. I'll be sending more hugs!!

      Type: Loss of a Parent

      Nov 6th 2007 my dad passed away from a heart attack. My younger brother and him were hunting and my dad was not breathing in the a.m so he was flown to the hospital and was on max life support. We never got to say goodbye to him and I live with the regret that we didnt end on good terms. I would die if I was for sure going to see him again.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      I cry alone because it makes others uncomfortable. It gives me relief for that bit of time but not long term.
      Getting Angry Not Working
      I do it every day but it doesnt work.
      Grief Counseling Considering
      Always wanted to but I dont want ppl too listen to my problems when they have their own.
      Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
      It works while I am busy but as soon as it stops I am right where I started.
      Remembering Working / Worked
      I find my self repeatedly watching his funeral video and going to his obituary. I cry everyday.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My family(mom,sis and bro) are my world but without the man in my life I wouldn't be here. At times I feel I make them uncomfortable.
      Talking Not Working
      It helps to vent and get it off my chest but the pain starts right back up again.
      Time Not Working
      Over time it gets easier to manage but time doesnt bring back my dad
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I am extremely paranoid of what I look like and eat.

      Treatments

      Counting Calories Somewhat Helpful
      Frustrating more than anything.
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      I feel better about myself when I dont eat all that gross greasy foods.
      Eat Less Working / Worked
      I feel smaller and that I will lose weight faster if I barely eat.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I feel amazing after I am done with the gym but always feel like I should of been there longer.
