Hello,
I'm Keeks, I'm 26 and lost my dad to cancer two months ago today. I'm not sure what status I would give myself as I'm neither Christian nor Atheist, but I have always strongly believed in an afterlife. I'm really struggling right now as I have had no connection with my dad since he passed. I feel so incredibly alone and lost and am now questioning everything that actually happens after death. I'm extremely irratable right now and feel like evrything p**ses me off. I'm frustrated at small things and get very paranoid about seemingly small issuess - a work colleague potentially seeing my partner's card details for one example.
I don't want to die, but honestly, I feel like I just want to be with my dad right now.
Is this normal?
Any oppinions are kindly welcomed x
Hi Keeks
im sorry that you are feeling so low. Grieving is so painful, and isolating it can completely overwhelm
I hope that you have support at this time.
You may find a chat to your GP could help get you through.
I was helped a while back when my son was in a car accident and was in intensive care then a spinal unit. It got me through and kept me calm allowing me to function without weeping continually it also softened the actual physical pain that I felt
sending you a hug
Ann
