Answer #1

i agree with macy and mark21 but i can tell you from first hand experience its not easy and won’t get any easier for a long time. my grandpa raised me he passed when i was 19 and i’m 22 now and i still haven’t got over it, but it has got easier. try to go to counseling or therapy they have some pretty good insight. I felt the same way you do now when my papa passed and for a while i didn’t want to do anything but i’m doing better now, although i still sit and ball my eyes out scream get mad at God but after i cry for a while i feel a little better. Do the things that your dad would want you to do if he were still around, finish school, go to college, have a happy family and a good career, just think about how proud he would be to see you do the things if he were still here, because athough he isn’t here physically he is still with you everyday in your heart and would want the best for you i am sure. i hope i’ve helped you some. take it one day at a time but dont expect to feel better anytime soon, my love and prayers go out to you

Answer #2

It’s your dad. You are allowed a relatively long mourning period. After that you need to start doing things as normal, though. It’s sad, but your dad is not the first person to die. The world doesn’t stop for you.

Answer #3

First of all, I am very sorry about your dad. I know it doesn’t seem like it now, but as time passes, it will get easier. You will think about him and you will smile at the memories. The first year is the most difficult, in my opinion, but it ‘will’ get better…and remember, he will always be safe in your heart.

Answer #4

i’m fortunate enough to have both of my parents. when my grandpa passed… i thought of all the good times we had.. and i just kept living life like i had before.. don’t stress over it so much.. he wouldn’t want you to stop living your life and mourn over him forever. let it go… but dont let him go.. goodluck sweeheart..

im extremely sorry.

Answer #5

the best thing to do is to think about him and never forget him cuz wen u think about him ull remeber all the things u did together and it will make u feel happy

Answer #6

I agree with mark21. 1st I would like to say I am very sorry about your fathers passing… It will be difficult but you will move on. Just take one day at a time and just think of the good times you had together. Hope that helped. Good Luck and I wish you the best.
