Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentMy name is Tricia and I lost my father last May 11, 2007 to COPD. Daddy wanted to remain at home so we did as he requested. My Mom and sister and I took care of him until the end. It was the hardest and best thing I've ever done in my life. Those last few months with him are the most precious memories in my life. But I can't seem to get over the loss. I still think of him daily and the tears flow. I have started having anxiety attacks and losing my train of thought alot.

Most days I do fine, of course then the other days I walk around in a fibro fog, my skin hurts most of the time and there are days I can barely function.I deliver mail part-time so I sit a lot in my car and when I am done with the day I usually have to power down for a nap to function.
