How long does it take to get over your dads death?

Question

my dad died a few weeks ago and i feel so sad

Answer 1

Honey, it will take a looooong time. That's okay though, it means you really loved him.  

Answer 2

Sorry about your dad.  Try not to think so much of his death but of his living.  God gave us memories, I am so glad of that, for the memories of your dad will go on.  

There will come a time when you will be thinking of him and start laughing at what he said or did.

You might do something pretty stupid and think about your dad and might even say out loud, "I did it again dad" or something like that.

Be thankful you had a wonderful daddy and good memories of him.

My daddy was just about old enough to be my grandfather.  He was 50 when I was born.  When I was a teenager, I started crying my self to sleep thinging my daddy was going to die soon.  I was 32 years old when he died at age 84.  I cried all those years every night.  When he did die, I had no more tears left.

I think that was my defense meckanism so I wouldn't fall to pieces when he did died.  I loved him so much.  I'm just thankful I had him around as long as I did.

I promise it will get easier.  It takes about a year then you will start healing.

Blessings  

Answer 3

i am really sorry about your dad; i wish you could give you a time frame, but i dont know that that is something you completely get over. i promise that it does get easier for you to go on with your life, and the pain wont be as bad.  my nephew died about a year and a half ago, and i still miss him.  but is a lot easier now.  for the first couple of months though  i could not stop crying.  i would be in the store, and just burst into tears.  my son lost his dad several  years ago and he still misses him.  like i said, tho, it does get easier.  i know, no one likes to feel that sort of pain, but dont try to push it.

p.s. i will be praying for you if that's okay

Answer 4

Well I don't think you can ever really completly get over someone you love  dying.

I am not saying that you will always go around depressed, But I am saying that at points you will miss him like crazy and you will see something that reminds you of him and be sad.

Life goes on , but just remember he is in a better place now and is watching over you and loves you still like crazy.

And also I am sorry =(

Answer 5

I am so sorry for your loss.

Answer 6

A long time i can tell you that.

Well my cousin died just this past year around November and i'm still getting over it even though i didn't get to her that well i'm still greiving in the back of my mind.

My Father Died When i was only One and a month and i know how it feels not having that father figure.

Answer 7

Losing a dear family member so close to you is the worst thing to happen to you. There isnt a time limit on how long you will feel like this. But how i seem to get over a close family death is to think about all the good times we spent together an by doing things that you think they would be happy with if they were still here. You will always miss them but love them more then if they were still here
