I am sorry for the loss of your dad. Losing someone you are so close to must be so rough.

I lost my dad 2 years ago. I thought I had grieved as I saw him slowly fade away over a couple years before he departed. But the more I focused on the grief, the worse things seemed. It seemed like grief and regret and remorse were a bottomless well.

I had to start reinventing my life. It seemed like the bottom came out under me and I was not sure who I was anymore. Everyone finds something that works for them.

For me I had to set up a routine to cope with the loss of my dad. I had to start when I woke up in bed and started doing stretching exercises. I went to yoga and Tai Chi class. I went to support groups. I came here. I guess I just needed to focus on something else because when I did the grief faded in the background. It still comes back but I am starting to accept that he did the best he could and I did the best I could. I guess it just has to be because I have to go on with life.

Helping other people helps me too. Again it takes the focus off my suffering and shows me how much others suffer too. And I can help them in little ways.
