[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry for your loss, OP.

I lost my dad recently and unexpectedly; since then I've been questioning everything too, in the throes of existential angst and some anxiety about the fragility of life.

What helps is to try to be in the moment as best as I can and to take the time to appreciate the things that bring me a sense of peace -- for me it's simple things like taking a walk and breathing in the fresh cold air, going out to eat with my family, laughing at something silly with my DH. I'm learning that even though my career is in limbo and I certainly have my insecurities about what I'm doing with my life in middle age, life is so short and all that really matters are these moments in the here and now.

My dad was really good at that, and that has given me some peace after his sudden passing. I'm trying to follow his example. I do miss him so f-ing much though, and it is taking me time to get my equilibrium in a world without him.

Hugs to you. Know you're not alone.
