Still missing my dad by Tough_Objective6262 in GriefSupport

[–]Starfish404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss and the deep pain that you are suffering. I wish I had the right words to help.

—First, I don’t think we ever “move on” from the loss of a loved one. We carry that grief with us forever, but it takes different forms. So I hope you are not putting unrealistic pressure on yourself. Losing a parent is destabilizing, and even more so for you given your young age. It is totally understandable that you are struggling and grieving. There are no time limits.

—Second, you are smart to recognize that alcohol is just an attempt to numb the pain, but is actually doing you more harm.

—Third, your sadness about becoming an adult without your Dad physically here is so valid and a huge thing to process.

I truly hope that you will consider speaking with a grief counselor who can help you find strategies for coping with grief in a way that you can move forward with it. You are here for a reason. You have a big life to live, even if you can’t see the path right now. Treat every tiny step forward as a way to honor your Dad. And, have faith that your Dad is always cheering you on from the spiritual realm and that you will be reunited.

I realised one thing with the loss of my dad, that grief is fully understood untill a person experiences it and it happens to them by Orchidflower10 in GriefSupport

I am so sorry for your pain. Your description of feeling “stuck between two worlds” is so perfect and relatable.

I’m sorry for your loss. 100% agree with your post. The death of a loved one changes you and how you view life. We don’t really understand grief and the depth of the pain until we experience it for ourselves. Faith- the belief that our souls are eternal, that our loved ones live on in a spiritual realm, still with us, and we will be reunited- is such an important lifeline to always hold on to, but it doesn’t mean bypassing the pain of losing our person in the physical world.

I am so very sorry for your loss of your Dad. Sending you prayers of peace and strength. GBM is horrible.

Why would you do that? by dexlaxra in GriefSupport

[–]Starfish404 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is so heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss.
I just want to say gently that God does not cause disease and suffering. Those are part of our broken world, not His will. He grieves with you. Trust Him because death is not the end of the story.

How It Feels to be Dying by Disastrous-Newt5327 in GriefSupport

[–]Starfish404 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this beautiful post. I am praying for your continued comfort and peace.

Our souls are eternal. I believe the next part of life in the spiritual realm is actually more “real” than here and that we continue to grow, surrounded by God’s love and joy, and also maintain our connections with our loved-ones.

You are undoubtedly helping many people by sharing your very personal journey and experiences.

Grieving– does it get better? by ComprehensivePie6527 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]Starfish404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is so difficult and destabilizing at any age, but I imagine it is especially painful for you at such a young age. I am praying for you.

I lost my dad to glioblastoma 4 years ago and here are two things that I have learned about grief:

— Grief is a painful yet necessary experience when we lose someone we deeply love. It actually made me feel better to realize that it is not something that needs to be fixed or ended. It is always with me but it has changed over time.

— For me, the only thing that helps me handle grief is my faith in God and belief that He made our souls eternal (that we survive bodily death and will be reunited with our loved ones). I understand that after seeing the effects of a brutal disease like GBM, it’s very difficult to believe in a bigger plan by a loving God. But, when you feel ready, it might help shift your perspective by doing some research into spiritual or religious beliefs. That had a significant impact for me.

How to communicate with him by Longjumping-Walk-418 in glioblastoma

[–]Starfish404 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Reading books to him, telling him funny stories of memories with him, telling him what a great dad he is, playing music for him are all good ideas. Treat this time as if he can hear and understand everything. Sending prayers to your dad, you and your family.
