Answer 1

You never get over losing a parent.

Everyday it will get a tiny bit easier until one day you'll think of him with love...and it won't be painful.

You'll even have times when you'll laugh because you'll remember something funny he said or did.

Answer 2

It is okay to grieve over a lost one.  Remember though it is better to be in heaven than here on earth.  Depression is something that comes along with what you are going through .  Go to the Dr and get on an anti depressant for awhile.  You asked what makes you stop thinking of him well you answered your own question.  It is when you are depressed that brings back the memories but  try a support group in your area.  Talk with a preacher or friend.  One thing to remember If you always do what you have always done you will always get what you always got.   Think about that hard.  And make a change.  When you get depressed think of all the good times you and your dad had not that he is gone.  I hope this helps

Answer 3

I know its hard, but try not to get depressed when you think of your father. Think of the good times you had, and let his memory bring a smile to your face. I think that's what most dads would want.

Answer 4

try to be independent. rely on yourself more and have confidence you can manage everything pretty well. it's good to remember your dad but if it'll just cause you depression, better not. he'd want want you to be happy, as everyone says. pray that he's in a better place and that you could move on from his death and get on with a nice and normal life. now that you're in the stage of "moving on," try not to get too close to things that will remind you of him and your days together.

goodluck, sweetie. :)

Answer 5

Losing someone who is close to us is never easy.

But we all have to face reality.  People die and none of us are immune to it.  

Be happy for the good times you had together.  Don't let yourself get down.

Put your energies to doing something good.

Get involved in something where you can help others.  That will make you feel really good about what you are doing with your time on this earth and help to ease the pain of the loss of your dad.
