Members vdbanda Posted September 7, 2019 Members Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 I was searching in hopes of finding people similar to me so life after losing my dad wouldn’t feel so lonely. I’ve never struggled with loneliness, until I lost my dad. This is the loneliest I have ever felt. I do really well alone, but his absence makes me feel so abandoned, lonely, empty, and cold. Today has been hard. I don’t feel like doing anything. I’ve been in bed all day. I’ve slept on and off all day today. I wake up, and stay awake for a little while, but then I take more of my sleep aid and fall back to sleep. I repeat this all day sometimes on the weekends. Throughout the week, I’m working and I don’t get home until the evening, so I’m preoccupied up until then. When I get home, maybe I’ll grab a quick bite, then I go to bed. I can count on one hand the number of close friends I have, but even they don’t understand, as great as they are. I feel lonely around them, too. Nothing helps with all these feelings sometimes. I’m not sure what I’m expecting to even get out of this. I miss him, and it’s miserable without him.
