Dealing with death of a parent

When my Dad first died I hardly cared at all for the first 3 years. Then I started crying all the time and missing him like it happened yesterday.

How has grief affected people here. For me, it was really delayed

I'm sorry. My friend's dad passed away and he got the new just minutes before his AS Econs paper. I guess it didn't registered at first but in the middle of the exam he started crying and fainted!! He got a C eventually. Pitty him! He was very close to his dad. In fact, his dad called him the night before and wished him luck!

The grief will never end, and comes in forms of things that remind you of them. One just has to be strong and overcome it.

The grief will never end

I agree to a certain extent, as I think you never 'get over' it but it becomes something that you absorb over time.

When my g'dad died in april 03 I was far more cut up about it than I thought I would be and if affected me quite badly, and it is only now that I can have more positive memories of him and talk abbout him etc without feeling sad and /or wanting to cry.

To the OP: I am so sorry for your loss, but the old cliché is true, time is a great healer and it will make things a little better, but, it DOES take time
