One thing I wish I knew about grief is ___
Not many people are comfortable talking about it
@Hope
It is different for everyone and no one should measure their grief against others. too many people IMO try to figure out if they are showing the "right" amount of sympathy or grief instead of processing it in their own way and time.
@toughTiger6481 Mm! That's so true.
@Hope one thing I wish I knew about grief is... How to handle guilt, and stop the pain
@Hope
It doesn't just apply to death but to loss in general.
@Hope
It affects everyone directly and there's no right or wrong way to grieve.
@Hope one thing I wish I knew about grief is how many times cry every day for my dad and memories of have of him I wish could call my dad or text my dad or see my dad again but can't see him anymore because he gone 4ever
@countrygirl9988 Girl. i dont know if you believe in god, but you will see him again i promise you right now. i understand how it is to loose a parent. Just know that his spirit is with you, and he loves you very very much. you will see him again someday. :)
@EmmyMarie06 thanks for kind message I love my dad and I miss dad every day and one day me and him met again I give him biggest hug and biggest kiss on cheek, and he hold my hand he take to heaven that make me so happy right now need be earth watch over my brother my mom nieces and nephew make sure there ok and my dad will always be in my heart 4ever
How exhausting it is
@mytwistedsoul what do you mean?
@countrygirl9988 Hey :) I just meant that there's alot of big emotions that can come with grief. Plus if there's any added responsibilities. If you're losing sleep and not eating right - it's exhausting
@mytwistedsoul still deal with my grief so in denial about my dad died and still believe it is real and believe still that he is coming back and i know he not coming back and just does not feel really last 2 months but went going to parent's he not there and my mom all lone that makes me sad and going to grave makes me sad too
@countrygirl9988 I'm sorry about your dad. It's not easy to lose a parent. It's understandable that you're still in denial. Tbh I'm still in denial myself at times. When I get a text sometimes I'll think it's from my father. Logically I know it can't be him but I still think it could be. I guess with time we move past the denial stage. But from what I understand it's not unusual to go back and forth. It's a hard reality to accept
@mytwistedsoul thanks I accept that he gone and don't went move second step of grief I love my dad and I miss my dad so much I wish he still here and lose parent is hard thing person can go through and see my brother and my mom in pain hurts me so bad and my family deal with bad grief right now
@countrygirl9988 *sending you and your family peace and strength* Is there something you can do together as a way to honor his memory? It won't make the pain you feel go away of course but it might help ease it
You'll be in my thoughts
@mytwistedsoul go to my dad grave want we do honor his memory and he will always be my dad and spirit leave on through me and my family my love and heart will always be with my dad and raise some good kids and do good job on earth now time be happy and pain-free in heaven I love my dad and miss my dad everyday
@Hope You never get over it. you just grow used to the pain.
@EmmyMarie06 thanks I love my dad he be in my heart 4ever he was amazed dad to me, and brother seen little girl have so many memories of him and I hope he rest in peace and him best person in my life and he will never be being forgotten for rest of my life I love you pops
@countrygirl9988 Thats one of the sweetest things ive heard all day :D
@EmmyMarie06 thanks I love my dad so much and miss him every day
@countrygirl9988 ya i bet. i miss my lost parent too every day. my first step mom was murdered, and i miss her all the time. grief is hard but it makes us stronger :D
@Hope I know when grief how sad and depression I being lose that person in my life and person talking about is my dad I lost on November 13, 2023, from massive heart been hard two in half months of my life and never going get over these at all
@countrygirl9988 girlie, your right. you wont be able to ever get used to the grief of loosing your dad but you will eventually adapt and grow used to the pain. i dont think you ever "get better" after loosing someone for example: you father prematurely. you just grow used to the pain. you do "Get better" after a breakup or something, but the larger losses in life...you never really do.
each day however will grow a little easier every day. just keep going, keep pushing yourself. your always going to miss him but as you live life youll miss him a little less all day every day. you will have moments of tears cause you miss him so much, but wipe away those tears when ur done, and keep going. thats all you can ever really do in life. is get back into the saddle and keep going.
@EmmyMarie06 thanks kind words been 2 half months seen died take one day at time and miss my dad and love my dad with all my heart thank him bring into these world and give me every kid could ask for and roof over our heads and food on the table and clothes on my back and he was best dad girl could ask for and never could thank my dad for everything did for me and my heart broken for rest of my life know that don't have dad anymore and sad to think now have visit him at his grave and my birthday and father day in June that going be hard days ever my life
@Hope
One thing I wish I knew about grief is probably the process time, because when I first heard I lost a family member everyone around me broke down. They were crying and sobbing, but I didn't feel anything. It wasn't until after the funeral that is actually sunk in that she was gone. Like I would never see her again in my life, and I cried uncontrollably.
@JollyRacher so sorry and I cry went my dad died from time find out that he was gone I knew went get wheel to ambulance I knew he was gone because died never like that before and went doing CPR on him in ambulance want break my heart was that the Ems told us that my dad was gone could not stop cry because I knew he was before got in the ambulance and in hospital he so pale and blood vein in his face pop and going to my funeral so hard on me and family see my dad in that casket change me 4ever and going to grave make me realize that don't have dad anymore anyone out there who has their dad so luck still have their dad in their life and I love my dad and I miss my dad every day of my life
