What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

Grief-stricken.

After 6 months I am finally processing my father's passing. Up until now it had seemed unreal, and I was numb to it, but now the full force of my loss is present.

The last time I talked to my father was by phone and he kept nodding out...he was dying at that point. :( I haven't felt this kind of deep sadness in a long, long time. I miss my dad more than I can say. I guess this is progress, but it just doesn't seem right that I should be without my dad.

I will be okay, but I may seem a bit "out of it " for awhile...I guess this is natural, still, I'd do anything to bring him back.

Sincere hugs for all who are struggling.

*offers gentle hugs* When my mum died, it took me about 6 or so months before I started to really grieve. I was in a such a numb place; my brain had shut off all emotion to it, probably as an instinctive measure of self-preservation. But once the grief began to hit...it hit like a metric tonne of bricks.

The last time I spoke to my mum was on the phone, too, and she was also nodding out, was confused, was talking garbled gibberish that didn't make sense, kept forgetting who she was talking to and kept forgetting who I was. She was also dying. :-(

My heart goes out to you because I know on a very personal level what you're going through. It will get easier to deal with but it'll take time. Be kind to yourself - you deserve it. *offers more hugs*
