This is my second without my dad. I was still numb last year.

It seems like the media just won't leave it alone. I had a meltdown last year after father's day. I had that one weekend, and the auction for my father's stuff the next weekend (he didn't have a will). Had to go to intensive outpatient therapy for three weeks and take time off work.

I just want to pretend like it doesn't exist. I miss him so much that my heart just aches for him. So many things have happened that I would have called him for advice on.

I'm sorry for the loss of your dad. Father's Day is coming....

It is very hard, the first Father's Day without my dad was hard too, the second, still hard but not as much and so on... and so on...(my father's been gone for 12 years now)..... it will get a little less painful with time but if you're like me a part of you will always ache with missing him.

((((((ab1018))))))

I am so sorry that you are suffering like this. I don't know how true it is that time heals all wounds, but I hope it will be youfor you. In the meantime, take care of yourself and let yourself grieve. The loss of someone to whom you felt close is really, really big. Our society doesnt really give people the time they need to heal, we want everyone to be over it. The only solution is to make that time for yourself. If someone really cares about you they will listen. Or post here, because people here are very supportive.
