This is just going to upset me by even mentioning it, but last Christmas was the worst Christmas of my life. My dad passed away that day, and it feels as if my life's just been torn apart. I'm trying my best to move on from this, but it's so hard; I had an emotional break-down the other day from being so upset, and just recently, I've just really wanted to punch something. This feels like too much to handle at this point in my life, it's almost unreal; like I can't accept that he's now gone. I had a short talk with a Student Support teacher yesterday, and he suggested that I try to show some of my emotions by writing about it, and even now, I'm crying my eyes out. It's been a little over 2 months now, and it feels as if the struggle to live with this has only just begun...
Ouch, man, I feel for you. No matter who you are, if you're on this site, it's too damn early for your dad to die. I am not expecting my folks to die till I am at least 40. It's a damn shame that it had to happen now. Hope you can work through these feelings.
A death is a hard thing to go though, try doing things that you enjoy, try hanging out with friends, playing a sport or getting involved in a after-school activites, something that will take your mind off of your loss.
Death is a horrible thing to deal with. Just try to think of all of the wonderful times you spent with your father. Your teacher is right; writing things out might help. Write about your favorite experience with your dad, or some of the things you two would do together. You'll have to move on eventually, and I'm in no way encouraging you to dwell in the past, just keep the memory of your dad strong. The pain will get better, I promise. <3
I feel terrible for you and i hope that you find something that helps you. Just to tell you, whenever my loved ones died (one recently did) i wouldn't dwell on it. I know thats vauge but its helpful. Literally tell yourself im not gonna think about the death, im gonna think about the awesome times I had with my dad. And hopefully you'll be finding yourself smiling while your crying. Try and get outside. It being still cold and depressing where I am being inside could be even more crippling then anything. Now this may sound stupid but it actually works. (For Some) Whenever i watch a Scary movie... i can't get it outta my mind. Or. If i watch a Really Really funny movie. Its very important that you dont watch anything sad or anything that refers to death too much. I really hope you get everything sorted out and turn out Ok. :-) We're all with you.
