Members Rebecca H Posted September 4, 2020 Members Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 It’s been almost 5 months since I lost my dad. I’m only in my 20’s so I have no one to relate to- I’m the first out of my friends to lose a parent. My dad’s death was very sudden and traumatic and I feel I still haven’t fully dealt with it. My dad fought for his life for 2 weeks in the hospital, the entire time was not conscious. We said goodbye over facetime but my mom was blessed to be able to be with him during his last breath. The past couple months I have felt good but I just don’t think I was dealing with my grief. I recently had a family vacation and it hit me very hard because my dad should have been there. Ever since, the loneliness seems to be unbearable. I just don’t know how to navigate this new life while everyone else is living theirs as if nothing ever happened. It’s hard to pretend to be ok when your entire life has been shattered to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paulinet Angela Posted September 4, 2020 Members Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 I lost mine a few weeks ago, it was also unexpected, and I’m also in my 20s. I wasn’t able to see him too in his last days. I know how it’s so hard to let go of the life you’ve imagined with him, each day I wake up with a sense of dread because I refuse to live in a world without him. Time doesn’t seem to make it any better because I just miss him more and more. Things seem hopeless right now, but I want to believe that one day this grief would be overwhelmed by the love we have for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
