My father passed away last Tuesday. He was my favorite person on this planet and the closest person to me in my family. He understood me best. We were kindred spirits.

I’m currently experiencing two types of grief - the obvious grief associated with losing my father and also the grief of losing my family. My dad was the glue that kept us all together. I’m not particularly close to my two brothers (I’m the only girl / daughter) and not super close to my mom. No one is to me what my father was to me.

I feel so alone and like I lost my family with my dad. How do I cope with this? Has anyone else gone through this?

my father passed 3 weeks ago. he passed the day he was all set to start a clinical trial drug that would have saved his life and I am broken. he meant the world to me and was my favorite person on this planet.

I came to this group a lot and found a lot of support for different complex emotions and situations — even made 2 friends from this group who happen to be same age same city who have already lost or will lose the same parent to cancer. I like to believe that this is a gift my father’s soul planned for me before he transitioned so I would feel less alone in my pain.

keep fighting hard for your loved ones to the extent that it’s possible. I did everything humanly possible for my father to give him his best shot — that has given me a tremendous amount of peace in my darkest days since his transition. I’m thinking of you all here and I wish you all the very best ❤️ and I’m praying for a miracle for those that need it.

Please comment here! Me and a friend would love to meet and build together! Gals only.

my dad had lung cancer and fought hard for the past 14 months and passed away peacefully in his sleep earlier this morning.

i cried but i also feel numb. It hasn’t fully hit me yet. He was on hospice for less than 12 hours and was eating and drinking fine the day prior. Yday he barely ate and drank water and took his first / lowest dose of morphine and now he’s gone.

why do I feel numb? the worst thing that could happen to me just happened. I lost my favorite person and I’m confused bc the anticipatory grief was debilitating. But right now, I just feel numb. I cried a lot but I’m confused at how numb I feel.

is this normal? please suggest any healthy ways to cope / process.
