About Me
I'm a Christian (Roman Catholic) and an aspiring writer. I'm single but not really looking at this time (I may have a vocation to stay that way, I don't know). I just lost my dad back in April 2009, and the pain is still with me. At the same time, I'm experiencing a very abrupt and severe life change because of the loss, and I need your prayers that God will get me through this.

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentI lost my father on April 11 this year, three days before my 48th birthday. Besides dealing with the loss, I'm also struggling with financial worries and other things, and trying to keep my faith.
Treatments
- Crying Too Soon to Tell
- I don't think I'm doing enough of it.
- Getting Angry Not Working
- Just makes me feel worse sometimes.
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- I need to go to work but don't feel emotionally or physically strong, and am too busy trying to take care of house.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes I'm just too worried to enjoy it, but sometimes it's a catharsis.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- I get discouraged in my prayer life, but I'm keeping it up. I feel it's my only link to sanity.
- Reading Somewhat Helpful
- I think some of the books could be a bit more realistic.
- Remembering Too Soon to Tell
- Some memories are nice, many are painful.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- I get more support from friends, but most are online. No support from brother and his family. Other kinfolk are supportive, but live too far away.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I don't feel free to talk about it often; I feel that some people are upset at hearing about it.
- Time Not Working
- I don't feel I have enough of it, at the same time too much.
