I have not been on lately because I was going through the last weeks of my life of my Dad's life. He died very very peacefully. The last two days he was asleep and very comfortable and peaceful. Quite a spiritual experience for me actually shortly after.
The visitation, service, and luncheon were very nice and 100's of people showed up. Now that that is all over and it is just my Mom and I here it will get harder. Over the last three months of going through this a lot of time I was hypomanic but when a period of activity or visitors was over I would hit a three to four day fairly severe depressions. I am much more vulnerable now that it has all settled down. Also every year for many many years I get a very bad cyclical depression the first part of spring when it gets warm. Last May I was severely depressed the whole month and almost checked myself inpatient. I went to crisis walk in instead and got to talk to an experienced therapist right away that got the crisis over. Then within a couple of days I totally popped out of it and had the greatest summer I had had in years. Giving myself permission to grieve and feel however I feel at whatever moment is important for me. Also getting the support I need and to be able to get away from the house when I need to.

Hi Altered Moment,
I'm really sorry for your loss, my condolences  Please allow it to give you some peace that you were there for/with him when it really mattered, because you were, but absolutely allow yourself to grieve. It's a natural process, and although I know it will be far from easy , not doing so can sometimes be even harder.And if you need more support..........well we can be here for you in that Alison |

I am very sorry to hear this, but it is good to know your Dad's passing was peaceful. That is all we can ask for our Loved Ones at this time.
Do grieve in your own way, at your own time. There are no rules for feelings or emotions, or how they manifest in us. You know all of us are here to listen should you ever wish to share anything. Dave.

So hard to lose a parent but it's good that his death was peaceful and you had support. Grieving has it's own time line, they'll be bad days and some not so bad
Sending healing thoughts to you and your Mom.
