New to this severity of grief

Hello everyone. I just lost my dad, not even two weeks ago, and I feel like I can't breathe. He was my favorite person in the world and I sometimes question if I can even function without him. Other…Continue

"Hi everyone, sorry I haven't written in a while. I've needed to express my feelings so many times this week, but somehow I've been at a total loss for words. I guess I should start at the beginning.
A week ago, I moved in to my dorm…"
"Hello everyone.
It's been a while since I've written anything.
What's new? I'm back in school. Just moved back on campus today. Remember my roommate that I've been struggling to act around? Well, she moved out. She…"
"Hello everyone,
It is exactly three months today; Thirteen weeks; Ninety-one days. I don't know how I've lasted this long, how I've managed to survive. I miss my dad so much.
It's been a rough day. I didn't really want to…"
"Hi Liv,
I've also lost loved ones to cancer. You asked when will it get better? - the journey of grief is ever evolving, ever changing. We develop coping skills to help us handle our grief, so in that sense, yes, it does get better. But, in my…"
"Hello everyone,
It is December 24 today. That means that six months ago today, I dropped my dad off at the hospital. Six months ago today, I hugged my dad for the last time. I haven't hugged my dad in six months. SIX MONTHS! That realization…"
"Hi guys,
I am sitting in my dad's chair right now, his beloved Lay-Z Boy. We've had this chair since before I was born. I have so many memories of it, of my dad sitting in it, or of me squeezing in next to him, us both sitting there. I…"
"Hi all,
Today, I had to meet with the people in charge of my dad's remaining accounts and stuff. (Because I am so young, I have a trustee advisor, or something like that.) I could barely sit through the meeting.
Honestly, I couldn't care…"
"Hi everyone,
I buried my dad yesterday. It was bad. I couldn't stop crying, like all day. I woke up, and cried. I got dressed, and cried. I got in the car, and cried, and etc. I cried during the entire service too. I don't really know what…"
"Hi Liv,
What a beautiful tribute to your amazing father. I found it amusing when you explained his love for High School Musical, and I think that story helped showcase his fun personality. You really captured your sweet relationship and your love…"
"Liv, your speech was very moving and the love you have for your dad shines through. I know this time is so hard for you. I’m still struggling and my mom has been gone 3-1/2 years. I’m just glad you’re doing as well as you can in…"
"Hi guys.
Today I delivered my speech, honoring my dad for my Public Speaking class. It was nice to share some of my favorite things about my dad. Afterwards, I got a private chat message complimenting my speech from someone who lost his dad eight…"
"Hi everyone,
I've just been having a really hard time lately, and especially today.
It was Thanksgiving, then it was two months, and now today marks nine weeks. I know I shift from months to weeks to days for counting, but who cares? I pretty…"

"The reality is that you will grieve forever.
You will not 'get over' the loss of a loved one;
you will learn to live with with it.
You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered.
You will be whole again but you will never be the same.
Nor should you be the same nor would you want to."

Hi Liv - I joined this forum two years ago after losing my brother to cancer. I haven't visited the site much since, but I randomly got an e-mail notification about your post that brought me here. I am very sorry to hear about your dad. That sounds like a truly painful experience. Please know that you are not alone in your grief, and you're welcome to message me if you ever want to chat. Take care <3

Some quotes
Today is the first day of the rest of your life - UnknownThis was something my mom used to have hanging in our living room, and since Jeremy passed away, it's something that is very close to my heart. Why? I'm still trying to sort through my heart and soul for the answer. There are so many quotes I never paid attention to when I still had my husband and our life together. However, since the day he died, a lot of those quotes have made their way into the essence of my being. Here are a few of…See More

"I'm sorry to hear that, Tina. I'm not sure that I could be the 'someone' you're looking for to understand what it is you're going through because I have never been in a situation like that. I just wanted to say that, no…"
Jeremy's accident
I've decided that I'm going to write my blog/journal entry in my Google Drive app, and then post it here because quite frankly, there's nothing like being in the middle of a sentence, deep in thought, and having your phone lose your spot because your hand caused the phone screen to rotate accidentally. Today is gonna be another one full of tears. I'm going to take a guess here, and say, "It's probably going to be a natural thing for me to start crying (off and on) around Thanksgiving and not…See More

Complicated
I am struggling with my grief and I really feel like I don't have anyone to talk to or anyone who can understand what I am feeling. My relationship was an extremely complicated one in which I am married and he was not. However, as our relationship was beginning he got a young girl pregnant and she lived with him. He was committed to making sure his child was well cared for and that included taking care of the mother of his child. He became such an important part of my life and the crazy…See More
