[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]Have you had a parent you were very close to you die?

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

[b]None of this prepared me for the loss of my dad.[/b]  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][/b]

I could have written this exactly.  No funeral or death I have ever experienced could have prepared me for the loss of my dad.  It has been over 2 years since he passed.[/quote]
