When my grieving for the death of my dad will stop?

Question

My dad died 3 weeks ago! Sometimes I'm ok and other times I feel sad, down and just want to be home on my couch, not talking to anyone. Just be quiet. When I'm going to be fine?

Answer 1

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's hard I know. When my grandpa died 8 years ago When I was 10 I didn't cry and I didn't talk to no one, I completely shut down for 4 years I didn't talk to no one not even my parents so please don't do what I did cause I ended up going to counseling for my depression and on top of that I was having a bad year in school with a boy being mean to so I didn't go to school for a year cause I was sick and tired of everything and I was only in middle school at the time. so please don't shut down, talk to some one you can trust and be around your family and friends and laugh go out and have fun. Live life to the fullest and lol and remember the good days you had kk.

I hope you take my advices.

It takes a long time before you get to the place that good memories of your dad will be stronger than the sorrow you are feeling.  I have been told by many people that the first year is the hardest for them.  I agree with it taking a year, at least.  It was full year before I could think of my father without wanting to cry.  We all grieve in our own ways so be patient with yourself.  My condolences in the death of your father.

Whenever you are feeling very low, just go to a nearest park or a crowded place like market or restaurant and sit there for sometime and observe the people around you.You feel better and fine.

Answer 4

There is no time everyone is different if you were very close to your dad and are the type of person who really has a soft heart it will take a lot of time, just don't internalize it get help if you need it, which you probably will. It is not weakness to need help but it is understanding people were not meant to be alone, and they were not meant to deal with problems alone. One thing I would recommend and sorry if you don't believe in God or this offends you, but pray and have people pray for you.

I'm very sorry about your loss, I'll pray for your healing

Answer 7

Let me just say i'm sorry for your lose.

After 5-6 months i stopped crying every night after my lose.

It never really stops hurting though.

Every once in a while you'll remember something about them

or you won't, you won't be able to. And you'll start being sad again for a few hours.

Answer 8

honestly? it'll never completely stop. there will always be something to remind you of the times you spent together. however, it does get easier. it won't hurt so much to think about him. Eventually you will stop thinking about all the times you could have had or about the things that you regret. Instead you will start to remember the good times you had and be able to smile about how great those times that you did have really were.  

Answer 9

Sorry for your loss. I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through, but you have my sympathy.

There is no set time on grieving.  Years from now, you could have a day when you really miss your dad and feel sad or even cry about his death.  Just keep taking one day at a time.  If you think you are depressed, you might want to talk to a counselor, but otherwise, just let yourself heal at your own pace.
