I feel better than I did but I still feel this mountain of depression on my chest I stay in bed when I'm not taking care of my father,He has domentcha and I am OK with taking care of him. It doesn't bother me. Any sugestions on what to do.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know these words do not help much but I am sorry. I lost my Mother Feb 27the anI can relate to what your feeling. all you can do is remember the good, and take it day by day. Cry when you need to. Yell, rage, feel. That is all you can do. Time does eventually make the pain less, but it will never completely go away. I wish there were a majic cure, but letting yourself feel does help. And do not be afraid that if you start it will never end, it will. Sooner than keeping it in. Best wishes,

Can you find a local support group for grief? You wont be alone in your pain and that could be really helpful to help you.

Prayers being sent your way......

There are a couple more groups you might want to join here:

Bereavement

This is a group dedicated to helping people grieve for lost loved ones. They have all been there, be it for a spouse, a friend, or some other family member. I joined this one after my sister died, mostly because my mom was grieving in a way that I did not understand and I needed help understanding my mom!

Caring For Aging Parents

This is a group dedicated to people who are taking care of their older parents. Some have a smooth road, others have a hard one. But we all appreciate venting to a group of people who get it!
