How did grieving and depression change your life? Have you ever lost someone you!


Question: How did grieving and depression change your life!? Have you ever lost someone you loved dearly!?
Have you had the worst day of your life when someone who you loved dearly died!? I did!. I lost my father and it happened when I was 27!. Most people in my age group don't understand what and impact it has on your life!. Grieving is a *****!. I think one of the hardest things when dealing with the after math is all the wild emotions like anger and depression!. My father was my best friend and I find when I talk about it to people who have never suffered the lost of a loved one the response I get is "GET OVER IT"

I still can't deal with holidays and weddings are very hard for me too!. I'll never have my Daddy to walk me down the isle!.

Some people are luckier than they know!. Be thankful for all the good things and people in your life, for tomorrow they may be gone!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi,
I truly am sorry for your loss!.

My Father died when I was 20!. That was 9 years ago!.!.!. It was also 3 months before my wedding!. My Mom and Dad had been LONG divorced and the funeral planning was ALL on me, as was his estate issues!. It was terrible!.!.

You will NEVER get over it!. You will just be able to handle it better!. You will never have another day go by in which you don't think about your father!. You not always cry, some days you will smile when you think of sweet memories, some days you will laugh at something funny that happened with you and your father and other days you will just feel bittersweet!.

Try not to listen to what others say!. They do not know!. My best friend had no idea but she is now watching her Father die only 2 weeks before her wedding!. She will also make it through!.

As far as Christmas goes (if you celebrate that) I have a special ornament that is for my Dad!. It has a poem on it!.!.!. I always try to have special things like that around as a way to "have him there"!. I also keep a picture in my car on the visor an pictures around the house!.

You may want to look up grief help online or call your Dr!.'s office and see if they can direct you to a support group!. It can't hurt!

I look back on my wedding day and I had an amazing day BUT clearly something was missing!. It was VERY sad and had I not been in severe mourning I would have liked to have postponed it a bit more!.

I KNOW now that my Dad WAS with me on my wedding day!. He was beside me the whole time!. He walked beside me as I walked down the isle, he cried with me when I realized that I couldn't do a father/daughter dance when my Husband danced with his Mom!. 9 years later and I still go outside weddings when their is a father/daugter dance!.

He was there when my precious twin boys were born!. He is there when I tell my boys stories of their grandfather and tell them how much he loves us!.

You also need to let yourself grieve and feel the feelings that you have!. It is OK to cry!.!. it is OK to be mad that he is not with you!. Don't try to keep your feelings inside!.

Think about your Dad on your wedding day and other days!. He would want you to be happy and know that he is with you, he will be beside you as you walk down the isle!. He will be the one who puts you and your future husband together!

You are right!.!.!. people do need to be thankful for what you have!. Tell the people that you love how much you love them!.

My Dad died from complications due to a "routine, common surgery"!. I NEVER EVER thought that I wouldn't see him again!. I thought that they were all screwing with me and I was so mad at everyone!. I went to the hospital and made them take me to the morgue!. I now realize that I was in shock!.!.!.

I remember my father and the man who loved me more then anything!. i remember his smile when he saw me, I remember the way I used to always want to be with Daddy when I was little!. I remember when we went car shopping and couldn't agree!.

Now I just imagine that he would be looking at his only grandchildren with the same loving eyes that looked at me with!.

I have 2 songs that I listen to a lot!.!.!. I don't know if that will help you or not!. It helps me to listen and just spend some time with him!

God Bless You!

You do not say how long ago your father died!. You do not talk about how hard it is for his wife, your mother!? Maybe you could mourn with her, even if they are divorced, she is still mourning to some degree!.
It is wearing to keep talking about it to most people, only your closest friends, but even then it has its time limit!. You have to get up, shake yourself off, and start thinking of other things, life goes on, don't waste it, your father would not want you to be depressed and in mourning most of the time!. He'd want you to move on and get somewhere!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My cousin died in a tragic accident in February of this year!. It still hurts, and I've talked to people about it!. They say that it does get easier, but it never really goes away!. So far, I'm sure they are right!. The best thing you can do is remember the good times you had together and be thankful for that time!.

Also, those that say, "Get over it," are just being ignorant!. They will change eventually!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you take anything from this,realize it's all part of the 'deal with it' thing!. Tell those people who say "get over it", that you will on your own watch!. That is, you decide when you've completely dealt with your loss!. Then, consider this: if we live to our expected age, we'll deal with death of loved ones!. No way around it!. It sucks but it happens!. I often recite the phone call in my head from my brother that my Mom passed away!. She hasn't yet, but i'm preparing myself!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am very sorry that you lost your father!. I hope that everything works out and that you lead a happy and full filling life!. I also am losing a father!. Well I cannot call him a father!. Because he has never been there for me and did not want me!. But the worst part is that I will never get to meet him!. But I, like many others have had horrific tragedies in my life!. I found out that today my best friend, practically my other half, has passed away!. he also is 14!. He tolled me that i was the only love in his life before he kissed me goodnight last night and that I would forever be in his heart!. But, I never got to say the same!. But I look on the positive side!. I got to share my life with the most amazing person God could have given me!. We grew up together!. The one thing that I looked up to him the most was that no matter what happened he was there for me and I was there for him!. He spent the long nights with me never leaving my side when i had to have a surgery last year on my heart!. I will miss him dearly!. But it was his time to go!. I will love him forever!. And remember: we will all be reunited with our loved ones in the end!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
