Cope with death

I’ve recently just lost my father who I met 2 years ago. We never met in person but would talk on the phone. He went missing and due to the incident in where it occurred, at sea, he has been pronounced dead. There is no body. I will never get to see his physical body ever or give him a hug for the first time and it hurts me so much. I’ve been crying everyday for a month. I cannot get myself together. I’m so depressed.

My sincere condolences. Allow yourself to grieve. Be patient with yourself; the grieving process takes as long as it takes. Be kind to yourself. I lost my mom back in August and am just now getting my life back in control. Although I will never stop grieving her, things are getting easier. Someone once told me that grief is like a rock we carry around in our pockets. Some days it's a boulder, while other days it's a pebble.
