fathers death


Question Posted Wednesday November 9 2005, 11:04 am

Okay, so I'm dreading next week. Its the 5th anniversary of my dad's death. And for this last month it seems like everything i look at or touch reminds me of him and i just break down crying...but its been five years i mean im almost 18 i shouldnt be acting like im 5, right? I have the support of my boyfriend, but my family isn't here to support me, they dont and havent liked me since the day my dad passed away. I'm not thinking about hurting myself in anyways...its just that my heart hurts terribly...is this normal?

of course its normal to miss your dad no matter what age you are you may just be thinking about him more now because mabey you've been bored latley or mabey all the sadness has cought up with you and you feel as if you don't have anyone to lean on but don't worry this is completly normal if you don't all ready keep a journal or something like that you could write about your dad or just do something fun to keep your mind off him for a while this may seem rude at first but your dad would have wanted you to go and have fun not be sad
Hope i helped

This is completely normal. I felt the exact same way when the fifth anniversary of my Grandmother's death came up. All the pain your feeling is pretty much your heart telling you that you still love him, you always will, and possibly reminding you that he's really gone. Just hang in there. A heartache is an incredible pain, but remember: he still loves you, too.

It is 1000% normal. You lost a human being that ment more to you then most people in the world should. He was your blood, he was the man that gave you life. Cry your heart out, you're more then allowed too. Age is just a number, a 5 year old can cry and so can an 18 year old, you're not acting like a five year old because your not crying over spilt milk, your upset about a serious matter. I'm terrible sorry about your loss and I hope everything gets better for you.

I think you are just so sad. What you should do is start thinking all the good thoughts of your dad and not that he is dead. I am really sorry for you. Maybe you should even talk with your family about it.

Of course that's normal. And your aren't acting like a 5 year old in any way. I mean he was your father, of course your going to miss him and of course you are going to be upset whenever the time of his death has come around. It's perfectly alright. I hope I helped and I'm sorry about your fathers death.





Love,
MELii

There is such thing as a "broken heart" and it's more serious than "my bf broke up with me" kinda broken heart. I'm really sorry to hear about your father, things like this happen and even after 5 years, I don't think you're acting like a 5 year old, you're emotional and that's fine. You don't need an excuse to cry, it's better to cry than to bottle it up. I guess it's about coming to reality with everything, you loved your father I'm sure and he loved you. It hurts. I know. Be strong...
