Best of luck duder. Death is always a concept thats left me confused and frustrated myself. I haven't lost a parent yet and very thankful for that. You probably do just need to unplug like you said an let all your thoughts process.
Oh crap. Been there, duder. It takes time but eventually you'll learn to live with it. I hope you and your mom stay strong! Remember all the good times so you have something when things don't look so bright.
I am sorry Tyler, I am not a frequent user of the forums but I just wanted to say that you are in my thoughts. I have been through 2 very similar experiences and it takes a lot of time.
Words from a stranger can mean very little or can mean the world to people, you just never know. But from this stranger to you, Sincerest Condolences and hoping that the great karmic wheel rolls in your favor. Stay strong, be well as you can be, and take pleasure in what you can.
You have my condolences to you and the rest of your folks. Its deeply soul crushing to have a loved one pass away but I think it's safe to say that he would want you to continue your life living to the fullest and being the best you can be while remembering the good memories you had with your father and have a laugh about them.
I know what it's like. I lost my dad suddenly when I was 16, had a massive heart attack in the backyard a day after he got out of the hospital. My uncle passed away nearly a year ago, 18 days before the fifth anniversary of my dad's passing and my aunt, who was the middle child, is starting to give up herself. These past six years have been like a dream when it comes to family, almost like it's not real. I always have a small sense of dread when it comes to the weeks leading up to summer vacation and the end of it because someone I know seems to die during those times.
Very sorry to hear about your loss. Take your time to go through the mourning process and keep your chin up. Life goes on and I am sure he would've wanted you to be happy.
Im sorry, ive never lost any of my close family, but my mom had cancer and i know how hard that is. But im sure nothing anyone says means much. You probably just wanted to share, and that's cool too. Any time.
My condolences, I can't imagine losing someone that close to me. Also credit to the rest of the GB community for being mature and respectful about this.
I'm really sorry for your loss, man. Stay strong, you can get through this. The fact that this blog has over 90 comments proves that the GB Community has your back.
I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I, sincerely, offer my thoughts and condolences to you, your family and every other beloved one around you, bearing the brunt of the loss of a dear one. I hope you have the courage to persevere and hold on to your goals in making your father proud as you navigate the aftermath of this tragedy. May he rest in peace. Also, as everyone else most likely can attest on here, kudos to all of you for taking a slice of your time, sending off your kind words @Tireyo643's way. I'm amazed at the humility of this community and am proud to be a part of it.
Regarding the phonecalls: Those'll become less and less quite soon. If you want do something about those calls right now, write a short e-mail to the people you and your mom know, explaining the situation and askingthem to stop calling. Heck, you can even copy your post for that. It's probably important to suck it up a bit so that your mom doesn't have to cope with it too much.
Alternatively, you can always unplug/turn off your phones altogether for a while. I doubt you'll be able to leave town quickly with everything that needs to be done for the funeral, so I hope this helps until that time arrives. Stay strong.
I know what you're going through has to be very hard, but it sounds like you're handling as well as anyone could be expected to: communicating with others and looking and focusing on how you'll be making your dad proud by getting a degree and learning to drive.
Also, you apologized for your grammar, and while no one should expect anyone to use grammar properly after something like this, I thought you should know that your writing was still very clear and close to grammatically perfect.
