In the last year my family has suffered so much loss.
In January we lost my mothers aunt. In March my great grandmother (who had live with us for the last 10 years). In April we lost my dad's dad after a long battle with Alzheimer's.
Then on August 3rd my dad (a 27 year veteran of the armed forces) passed away in his sleep from a drug interaction caused by medications he was prescribed to help deal with his severe PTSD and depression.
And the icing on the cake.... My great grandpa passed August 31st. As if my heart could take anymore.
With everyone else I was able to cope. They were older and had been sick for quite some time. But losing my dad ( only 46 years old) and me only 14 days shy of my 23rd birthday.....I can't cope.
I feel like the rest of the world is just moving on, even my family, and I can't. This one is just too much. My dad and I were very close. I am a total daddys girl. He was my person. I went to him with everything.
I just feel like I have this huge gaping whole in my heart now. He is supposed to be here. I feel like I'm never going to be able to accept it and carry on with my life.

I'm sorry seems so little to say, but sometimes with such overwhelming grief it is all someone can say.
The losses you have suffered are great. As I read your words my throat thightened in that too familiar way.
Although grief is a lonely process, you are not alone. I know people are quick to say you need to accept it and move on. I don't think that helps.
Love never dies therefore your love for your dad and his for you will never leave you. I do not think a parent can ever be truly seperated from their child, you are a part of each other.
When I joined this group and answered the questions on what have you done and what worked I checked everyone of the answers. No one thing "works"...it is a process.
As your relationship was unique with your dad, so is your grief. You are right it isn't the same but cling to the love that can never die, it lives within you.
I am sorry for your loss. You are not alone.
God Bless,

Lately I've felt so lost and alone. I feel like everything I thought I knew just went out the window. Its hard to not lose hope and faith. But it helps to know that I am not alone in this.
I spent a good hour or so sitting outside last night just talking to my dad. It helped a little. Just being able to say the things I want to say to him.
I so understand feeling like everything has been swept away from under your feet and you cannot see how you will live.
This loss for yor is too awful to be true, yet it is. I am sorry.
I wrote letters to God and to my daughter everyday for I don't know how long and after all these years I still do.
This site has many compassionate people that have walked the path of great sorrow. I hope you will continue to reach out.
You are not alone.
God Bless,
