I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dad very suddenly 2 years ago. I wasn't sure I would make it through. I had never lost anyone close to me in my 30 years. the first few weeks were tough. I didn't eat and kept feeling "how can the world go on like this." I remember feeling angered by random people that I saw happy and laughing. How could they do this? Don't they know my dad is gone? After a month we had to get my mom's house in order to sell it and move her out closer to us. I threw myelf into remodeling her house. That really helped me. Getting involved in a project to help my mom and take care of her just like my dad did. The fog soon began to lift and I started smiling and even laughing at my father's memories. We are a very close family too and did everything together. The first vacation was hard but I remember somebody cutting us off and my brother laughed and said dad would have flipped him off. We all cracked up. Little things like that helped. Now I can't think of him without smiling. I'm still sad but I focus on all the good times we had together. The memories were the things that got us through and made us closer in the end.
Terri I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom when I was 16... it wasn't 100% sudden, but we had only 3 months of knowing she was sick before she passed away of cancer. I felt totally lost too. A PP mentioned trying to find the joy in remembering your father, and i admit that helped. We made little comments and little jokes, and that really did help. Just hang in there and know that as long as you think of your father, he will live on in everyone else's lives
I'm so sorry. It wil be hard, but it sounds like you have wonderful memories of him. Having so many loving family members around you now is a blessing. I just lost my grandfather on Friday, and had to deal with alot of it alone since I"m so far from my family.
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. It's so hard when it happens suddenly, as everyone is caught off guard and the shock must be all that greater.
