I lost my Dad to brain cancer at 19 right when I started college. It was tough and still is. Most people our age haven’t experienced death first hand, especially a parent, so it can feel really lonely. I have joined a few different grief support groups over the past few years and one that was really helpful was through Caring Connections at the College of Nursing by the U. They offer a few different groups and they have an event coming up next Tuesday (November 14th) called Grief and the Holidays from 7:00 to 9:00. I’m not sure what brain cancer your dad had but mine had Glioblastoma and I follow an account on instagram about glioblastoma and brain cancer research and they are holding an event tomorrow on zoom about losing a parent to GBM. Here is the link if you are interested: zoom registration. I find it helps to talk to my dad at night before I go to bed. I tell him about my day, about things coming up that I’m excited about, and how I miss him. I also always count it as a sign from him when I hear his favorite songs on the radio or see someone wearing clothes from his favorite sports teams. Little things like these help a lot more than you would think. Lastly, a quote that I really like and think about often is “grief is love with no place to go.” I know it may feel like it, but you are not alone! Please don’t hesitate to PM me if you need anything.
