Dear friends,
I'm hoping you're all doing better with your grief, than I am today. I'm not doing so well today. My Dad died very suddenly just over two weeks ago. It was so fast and unexpected, I'm still just getting used to the idea, that he's not here. My Mother past away from *** cancer three years ago. I had felt like I had done my grieving and moved into a more accepting place of her death, that is until now. It feels like since my Dad has died that his death is bringing me back to my Mother's death as well. When I'm alone I start feeling very depressed and sort of immobile. I can't seem to get anything done. I'm already on anti-depressants so what am I suppose to do? I'm feeling so sad and very alone in this world. I'm glad there's a place though for me to let others know, who understand. Thank you-Jenny

Hi Jenny and Janet,
Im so sorry for the both of you for the loss of your precious father's.
It will be 4 weeks tomorrow that my father passed, suddenly as well.
We were "preparing' for our mother as she is in the late stages of alzheimer's.
From one bereaved daughter to another I extend my hand of comfort to you both. My faith is a help to me also. Im no stranger to bereavement, having lost my precious brother as a young child, and 4 babies in pregnancy.
I think its normal to have past bereavemnets that we think we are ok with re-surface. For me I have learnt that it isnt something you get over. Love never dies. Our journey has changed, and maybe again in a short time, and we have to learn to walk a new path again.
How do we survive?
One day at a time, one step at a time. If thats too hard to manage break it down to minutes and hours. Its a journey that needs the company of those who care and understand and reaching out is a great step.
You will find that some peole are happy to travel along the path beside you as a companion, they will be a great source of sharing and comfort for you.
Remember the love and joy you shared with your fathers, in time it will be a continued source of comfort and solace to you. Their love lives on in your hearts.
Blessings, Maria.
