Hello to everyone, I've been a member with DS since early this year but for other concerns. Still I'm new to this community, it's one I put off joining for six months thinking I had everything under control. However I seem to be having some kind of delayed response to the death of my father. While I've lost others close to me the recent loss, six months ago, of my father seems to not only be lingering but getting worse.
I am okay durnig waking hours but often, usually several times a week I have vivid dreams of my father still alive. I wake emotional disturbed and depressed. Does anyone know if this is normal or not so normal?

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...
We all grieve differently, and maybe since you are trying to focus on getting on with things so well durring the day, your subconscience only has the night to wirk with. (?) Just a personal thought. Rainbow
Your dreams sound very normal to me. You probably keep so busy during the day, and your mind just lets go at night. I'm sorry that you wake up so upset, but I imagine that is because once you are awake, the reality of it all sets in.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care!
But i am told this is 'normal'.
good luck.
Sometimes when I am on my own and my grief just seems to overwhelm me, a sudden peace seems to come over me and I will just suddenly stop crying. I like to think that Dad is with me then, comforting me. "Waves of grief" sums up exactly the feeling. Its like suddenly realisation hits me, but I just can't seem to accept it, not yet anyway.
All the best and take care.
