[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just becomes a new normal.  Is this the first person in your life who's ever died? Maybe that's why you're having a hard time.

I grew up going to funerals of relatives. So when I was almost 13 and our family dog died, while I was heart broken, I understood.  When I was 15 and my great-grandmother died, I was heart-broken and had to walk out of a diner to go cry outside, but I understood. [/quote]

Not OP.

Have you had a parent you were very close to you die?

I went to many funerals prior- grandparents, young classmate, best friend’s dad (young), cousin 29, and I’ve had childhood pets die.

None of this prepared me for the loss of my dad.  We were incredibly close and he was the center of my life.

OP- I feel very much the same.  I can’t wrap my brain around this—or the fact I will have so much of a life that he will not be present.  It’s uniqueky different to other losses I’ve experienced.  I am still really struggling almost 2 years later.[/quote]
