Re: It\'s been a week now since my dad died.
I'm very sorry about your loss. There's some good ideas here already (ie the go for a drive or get a pet and even the prayer at the risk of getting flamed myself...). I'm sure the rest of your family is hurting as well, so if you're comfortable you might talk to them and come up with new things to do together.
In addition, you might take up a new hobby or two (on a side note I wound up learning poker after the death of my sister....) to fill up the time. Most important, it's normal to be sad, but you should take comfort in that your dad loved you and doesn't want you to stay sad. Take care....

Re: It\'s been a week now since my dad died.
My dad died four weeks ago, same drawn out cancer situation. Being sad because your father died after a long and probably painful battle before he ever got to attend your wedding or see his grandkids, is normal, not a mental problem. It gets easier every day. Just go about your normal life and don't avoid the subject with your family.

Re: It\'s been a week now since my dad died.
Give it time. You may not be depressed but you have suffered a loss. Each day will be easier. Remember that there are other people (relatives)who loved him and feel the loss also. Talk, cry and laugh with them, even if you already did that at a big service already.
Good luck

Re: It\'s been a week now since my dad died.
Dude, you have suffered a tremendous loss that will fade with time but will stay with you forever. Don't be concerned with rushing through your mourning period...You are entilted to be sad, angry, withdrawn, etc., regardless of what others may think or tell you about going on with your life... There is a time to grieve and that time is from now until you don't feel like grieving anymore, however many weeks or months that takes.
My condolences to you and your family. I'll say a prayer for you.

OP, While I don't think this is the norm, I don't think its that rare. Give it some more time, then maybe see a psychiatrist/psychologist? [/ QUOTE ] IMO this absolutely is the norm. Just give it time dude, good luck.
