Hard being in the present

My father died 30 August. I want to turn back time (so I can spend more time with him) or fast forward time (so this intense grief can be over). Right now it is hard living in the present. I cannot deal. I want to scream. Sometimes I feel numb, other times the grief overwhelms me. I want the pain to stop. I want my father back. Nights are hard, but somehow mornings feel worse - waking up and realizing my dad is no longer alive.

Dear Pinkbaggirl,

I know just how you feel,probably you're in a darker place than me cause I'm ancient and my wonderful mum was older still but I do think you loving your dad as you do,no amount of time would have been enough for you ,just try to get through as best as you can, cry if you need to ,focus on the good times (cause there must have been many with such a wonderful dad) with your dad, have some GOOD counselling, talk to some true friends and relatives ,eat good food and get some excercise. I say this to you but I just don't seem to be able to get motivated myself,I'll try . YOU WILL GET THROUGH and your dad will always be with you while your'e here cause HE IS PART OF WHO YOU ARE !

Thank you for your reply. The grief comes in waves - sometimes I feel okay, other times I am overwhelmed. Regardless of how old you are, losing a parent is still painful.

Thanks for reaching out to me.
