Bad situation. Maybe things just feel distant because of the rough time he's going through. Hang in a bit longer,after the rough times are over,and take it from there. Good luck with everything.

I wish i could tell you... you can't forget some people in your life, and will always care for them. Sometimes, we run to another, adn hope somehow they will replace them, but more times than not, they don;t,...

Every situation is different and ever changing. You just have to do what feels right and try to let yourself recover from your loss. Surround yourself with people you can trust, the rest will follow.

It is a sad thing to loose a parent.  It leave a mark on you and a pain that you really never get over.  I happen to be a funeral director and when I lost my parents, I went through the exact same thing.  I know it is of no comfort to you, but as time goes by, you will find that other things in your life keep you occupied.  You will never forget her, but in time God works a miracle in which the sharp pain associated with your loss gets a little less and you can reflect upon the joyous and happy times with a feeling of love and appreciation.  I know you probably find this hard to believe, and so did I, but it does happen.  My father died in 1987 and my mother in 1999, and at times is seems like it was only yesterday.  I hope you are able to find peace and understanding very soon.

Just say that there was a death in the family.  Usually no further explanation is required.

IT MEANS THERE WAS A LOSS IN THE ORGANIZATION. EITHER SOMEPNE RECENTLY PASSED, OR THE TEAM IS REMEMBERING SOMEONE THAT PASSED OR IS FATAL CONDITION.

The point is most of us don't know we are in love or we  understand it too late! The reason for getting heart-broken is that we get used to some one so much and for such a long time that it's so hard to imagine life without that person. I always relate this to losing some one because of death.I believe that both sutuations are the same. We feel lost without that beloved person and it's hard to accept you won't hear the voice, you won't see the face or you won't see that person any more. The duration depends totally on you. You will eventually forget it but it's easier if you find some hobby or meet new people and totally be willing to forget.

Therapy will make you aware of the grieving process and help you to understand that what you are going through is normal and natural and something that almost everyone has gone through at one time or another.  You are not alone.  Everyone has lost someone or something that was important to them.  The first step is acceptance that he is gone.  Then there may be anger that he wasted a year of your life, but therapy will be a safe place to deal with all these emotions and help you to get over it quickly and move on to bigger and better things.  Perhaps you still gained some good things along the way, like a heightened spiritual awareness and a better relationship with God.  Hold on to that to get you through this temporary setback.

This sense of loss you feel is real.Everyone grieves for diffferent periods of time.I can relate to how you feel since both my parents died almost 3 years ago. My dad was sick for some time and when he died it was almost a blessing to see him at peace.My mother dies 10 days later and it was such a shock.I tried to deal with my loss by talking about my feelings with my family.I found comfort in making a scrapbook about them. Sometimes it is the little things that will remind you of them. It may be hearing a song, seeing someone who vaguely resembles your loved ones, scents from perfume  or something so commonplace you associate it with your parents.These  memories while they give you sadness at first they later give you comfort when you realized you loved your parents and they loved you.I hope I can share a small prayer that I had read at my parent's funeral ."The Lord shall have their souls to keep, And I their fond memories when I sleep."

Keep yourself busy doing something good for others and take it hour by hour. Time is the only thing that helps ease the grief-- but there will always be a part of you wishing for the happier moments with the one you lost.

I'm sorry to hear that. Did he just pass away? I'll copy this from a book I have on checklists for everything:\n1) Call a close friend or family member to help you.\n2) Find out is he had already made final arrangements.\n3) Decide about the funeral. The body can remain as is for 72 hours, so you have time to decide on your choices.\n4) If you need to relocate the body before burial plans are finalized, you can ask for a temporary storage at a funeral home. Make sure you indicate the funeral director that you might have a different option of funeral home. You can do that.\n5) Inform friends and family about service after details are finalized.\n6) Keep careful track of the original death certificate. You'll need it. Make a ton of copies.\n7) Decide on an obituary and where it should appear.\nTake care.

It's always tough when someone looses a loved one.  My advice is to get her to talk about it herself.  Ask her how everything is going...if there's anything that she needs to talk about; let her know that you're there for her.  On the other hand, if that doesn't work, if you know someone that may be aware that her father died, explain that you heard from a friend.  Many people have trouble adjusting when they loose someone.  It's very difficult, so just be patient.  I'm sure it has nothing to do with you.  I wish you the best of luck.\nChris Nalley

The real question is how do you know if you are dead.

Please accept my sympathy for your loss.\n\nI think it depends on the individual as well as the circumstances of the death.  Some times if the deceased was sick for a long time the widower can sometimes move on a little sooner than someone who was suddenly and unexpectedly widowed because they have had time to prepare.  The main thing is to have peace in your heart and not to get involved only to find you weren't ready and then hurt someone.  You also have to factor in your children and their ages.  It might help to talk to them before you start pursuing the dating field again and make sure that they understand if you find someone you like they won't be "replacing" their mother.  The fact that you are asking makes me believe that you yourself think you are ready but are worried that other people may think its too soon.  True friends will be supportive no matter what and should be happy that you are ready to attempt to find the second love of your life.  Don't worry about other people. Do whats makes you happy and what's best for you and your children.  Good luck!!!
