Members David's daugter Posted June 14, 2016 Members Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I recently lost my dad and I have been having a rough time since. I have emotional break downs multiple times a day, I find myself crying about the little day to day things. I am looking for advice with coping mechanisms. Suggestions are appreciated.

Members MayFGL Posted June 14, 2016 Members Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Welcome David's Daughter! I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is definitely the hardest thing anyone can go through. I know because I lost my mom almost 15 months now to a massive stroke. The first few 6-8 months are the hardest for me. Everything I do reminds me of mom. I cried a lot especially on special occasions like mom's birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. I felt guilty, depressed and alone. As time passed, I still cried, but not as much as I used to. So, time is the healer. Please don't hold back from crying. Cry and let it out. There's no right or wrong way to grieve. Take your time to grieve as long as you want. You may want to get professional help if you think you need it to help you through your grief. Please continue to come here and share your thought with us. We have some pretty amazing group of people here that are very understanding and supportive. Most of us write on the pinned Lost of a Parent (Mother or Father). Maybe you can go over there and join us, if you'd like. We are here for you, David's Daughter. You're not alone.
