My father died 48 days ago. He was the last member of my family. We were best friends and took care of each other since my sister and mom died. It is so quiet in our apartment that I rush out in the morning to go to the cemetery and be with them. My father loved life and saw things as beautiful, even when my sister died from a broken feeding tube and bacterial infection he enjoyed life. I do not see any reason to go on -he was the reason for me getting up in the morning and living. I have no family -all dead and no friends. All I had was him and he is gone. People say it will get better but I do not believe . I am only at peace when I am at the cemetery . I just needed to vent. I have not spoken to a person for 48 hours. I miss him so much.

What you are feeling is normal but you NEED to get some help because you have no one to talk with and you are in a depression. Please do that asap - I went to the cemetary every day for the first six weeks when my husband died suddenly - IT IS NOT A GOOD THING TO DO. I learned the hard way - everyone kept saying he is not there - he is with you - but I did not listen. I know it is hard but you need to keep busy - I did not I quit my job and slept all day etc. Please seek out someone to talk with - call the Visiting Nurse Association they will have you speak with someone one to one - there is no charge. Also, people on this site are so helpful because everything you are feeling we have gone thru. If the visiting nurse association can not help call your local hospital - they can refer you. kci

I think it's ok to go to the cemetary. I also think now is the time to focus on you... start taking baby steps to getting out in the world, doing things you want to do, meeting people. It's kind of like your whole world was your dad, now he's only with you spiritually. I think he'd look down and be glad to see you enjoying life the way he did. It's hard losing a parent, it's even harder to face life after the fact. Take baby steps... it'll only get better if you let it...

I felt all alone in the beginning also. Mu mom was my whole life. I tried to stay in contact with my ex-coworkers as I am now retired; but they are busy and do not understand lonliness. I sat at home most of the winter wondering how I was going to make it thru the next day. It's been 7 mos. for me and I only feel 5-10% better. I cried and felt terrible yesterday. take care and TALK TO SOMEONE...

I am so sorry for your loss. You should really try to find someone to talk with. I scheduled therapy for myself and finding this site has helped alot. I lost my mom on Feb 20th and it has had a big impact on my life. I felt depression starting to creep back up on me and I decided to fight it and keep myself busy. Even logging onto this site daily may help you alot, there are lots of us out here going through the greiving process and just being able to get your feelings out helps. I found journaling has helped out alot as well. I am here if you need a friend.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
