I feel like a walking bag of bones. I can't eat. I can't sleep. I feel like a shadow. I know some people care but I feel like nobody in my family understands me. Not even friends for that matter. Grief is hard enough but when you feel you are going through it alone, even though I have a great family, It is such a deep deep hole.
I feel like I am down but I don't want a mercy execution.....I want to pick myself up and fight my way back to some kind of normalcy.
I have 2 BEAUTIFUL teenage daughters that need their mama.
I have a wonderful man that needs his wife.
I have a mother that needs me, her baby girl.
I have a job to get back to.
I still have a life but I don't know what to do without my daddy right next door.
I have spent 3 years revolving my life around my daddy because he was so sick.
I have lost so much weight that I am more self conscious and worried that people think I am dying or on crack(never even considered drugs although I do enjoy my herb)
I was a heavy 170 pounds when I got married. 17 years later, I am down to 117. I was 120 a week ago.....

It's possible no one around you does understand the nature and depth of your grief; grief in general maybe, but not yours.

Your closeness to your father, the time you invested in him, and your own illnesses and personality mean the course of your grief may be very different from that of other family members.

Peace to you, and please try to do what you can to take essential care of yourself.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. It takes some of us longer to process grief than others. I'm still having difficulty with the death of my mom and it's been four years and I'm still really dreading the holidays without her. so I understand.

It would probably see a grief counselor if I were you.
