Subject: not coping without dad

Hi i lost my dad just over a year ago now on 9th october 2005 i'm not even sure if i have even greived yet really the funeral is a blur to me and because it was so sudden i just don't seem to be able to let it sink in that he is gone every time i think about the fact that he is gone i just feel shocked all over again maybe i just can't accept it i don't know but i know that my life has never been the same since and never will be it's like i'm not the same person a part of me is missing and i'm worried i may never feel whole again i miss him so much it really hurts people say i should try to get on with my life that's what he would want the trouble is i'm not sure what my life is without him in it i pray that some day i can try to put the pain i feel to one side even if only a little so i can try to be happy again.
