watched my dad die in front of my eyes slowly over the course of a year and a half. wondering if anyone here has been in a similar situation and gotten over it

still trying to deal with some of the effects its had on me and the change in my personality. even though i went to therapy a few years ago i still feel like i have a short temper with people, especially my little brother whos kind of a nerd. and i catch myself envying those people who have a strong family unit since mine has been in disarray ever since

damn i guess you all some lucky ass people

dont take any moment with your loved ones for granted 🙏

I have but I can’t really relate to you bro. Hopefully you learn to live with it and get in a better mental state, wish I could give you actual advice

My dad cut it close a year ago roughly and his general health seems like it's been getting worse/he won't ever recover

I sort of block it out but it's hard thinking about losing someone who genuinely cares about you. The world is lonely and it's hard to find something equal like that.

It's also a bit scary knowing how fast time goes and him being 60 and pretty sick. Just feels like you know one of these days it's gonna hit.

No, and thank God for that. I’m very lucky in that regard.

No but knowing that it is unavoidable makes me lose sleeps sometimes sorry for your loss op

my dad 4 years ago. was a complete surprise. I imagine knowing its coming could be even worse.
hes still in probably 90% of my dreams but never in a sad way just like everything is normal
kinda ashamed at how easily I dealt with it. occasionally if theres some sentimental thing in a movie with a parent it hits me in the feels.

Yep. Lost my dad 2 years ago. That nigga was awesome. My best f***ing friend. Loved that dude for real.

I was 26. He was 52. Was immediately blamed for his death by my family. They even tried to get a homicide investigator on me..... They just wanted his house. Very difficult period in my life

Haven't talked to my family in years F*** em

My grandma been trying to call me everyday for the last year

My life is so much more peaceful without them

f*** them dudes

Amen

Damn bro this thread is haunting

Lost my old best friend to OD a few years back while we were on pretty bad terms over some petty s***. Completely changed my outlook on life

yea lost my mom when i was 9

My dad when I was 14. Right when I needed his guidance. I wish we could’ve had a relationship now but we were never close like that. I just think of what could’ve been

My grandfather in 2017 and I couldn't attend the funeral because I was studying abroad. In the last 6 weeks I've lost my aunt and her newborn baby and again I've not been able to be with my family during the mourning because I'm studying abroad. It really sucks

My aunt who was like a second mother to me as a kid passed away in 2011 when I was 14 and seeing her body in the casket was one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen. A year after that,my grandfather on my mom's side also passed.

wow bro

sorry that happened

you're strong king

my senior year of high school there was a kid a year below me who came home to his dad unconscious in his front yard. they got him to a hospital and pronounced him dead that night

and in 3rd grade my best friend came home to his mom dead in their living room

i’ve never personally dealt with it myself but seeing people close to me deal with it give me so much respect for them.

and seeing how they’ve reacted to it, i can say that it gets better, OP. my friend started living with his grandparents after his mom died and he had a temper for a couple years too. he’s all good now and i’m happy to see him in a better place

Closest thing was my grandma passing some years ago. I was super young back then. Now days I feel it more than I did back when it happened.

I feel like I'm obliged to do well to make her proud.

dad died in 2012. mom got remarried in 2019

itll be alright bro. stay up. the first day it happened bro i was just depressed af and I was going off to college.
