I lost my dad suddenly in January, I cant get over his death I cry all the time what can I do

I have lost interest in everything and don't know how to move on. I have 3 daughter who I love and don't want them to see me the way I have been. Any suggestions on how to ease the pain of loosing someone you loved so much?

Firstly, my thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. I lost my gran 3 years ago and i'm only just coming to terms with it. It will be very difficult and it doesnt get easier, you just learn how to cope with it better. All the crying is good in a way, its like a release. I couldnt cry for 2 months after my gran died and it made me very angry and destructive. I finally became able to cry and then when i was done crying i could grieve properly and ty to look to the future.

Try speaking to somebody from Cruse bereavement they are really good to talk to and alot of their counsillors have been through similar experiences.

Also, try writing a letter to your dad saying everything you are feeling then go to the cemetry or place of rest and bread the letter out and burn it. I rmemeber the day I did it for my Gran, it was stormy and dull then when i burnt the letter the sun came out.

Another thing to do is to write a kind of diary remembering all of the good times you had, anecdotes, stories etc so you can always remember the good stuff rather than thinking about the fact he is not there.

I really hope that this helps you in a way and that you get the help that you need. Just remember that your dad would want you to be happy.
