After staying in an awful hospital, he moved to a fantastic place where he died peacfully.When he died, i didnt cry, i havnt cried since, i had a dream that he was angry at me and i felt awful. i dont know what to feel. i just want him back.

Subject : thats ok
when somebody so close dies, whatever the circumstances our minds often go into overdrive, so many things going around and around, its almost like being on autopilot! this is proberly why you dont know what to feel and why you havnt cried, but usually this will come. Also at times like this our minds often play tricks on us, hence the dream - as i dont believe your dad would be angry with you. i am not a child who lost a parent, so i do not know how you feel. but i am a parent that lost a child, my son and i both went through similar things to you when my other son died.

Subject: How you should feel..
Hello I'm 16 and my mum died just 7 weeks ago from cancer. I feel devestated like you. At her funeral I  didn't cry, it was almost like I was beyound tears. I was really worried that I didn't cry, because I thought there was something wrong with me because everyone else cried so much. I learnt that there is no set way to feel and you don't have to cry or do anything because you think you should. I expect you will get vivid dreams, I see my mum in my dreams almost every night and sometimes I'm angry with her too. Try not to beat yourself up about the way you feel, I do it all the time but people say just be kind to yourself. I hope this helps, good luck. x
