I’ve been there Bro! My Beloved Mom passed away January 2022. I have not moved on and I know I never could. Many thanks for just being such a Sincere Person!
Hang in there, my brother. People, like our parents have had such a long impact on our subconscious that once they are gone, there’s a major change occurring in the back of your mind. The anger, I believe is somewhat of a common normal reaction. I recently lost an old military friend of 35 years, sadness and anger were definitely my initial emotions. Then came acceptance, a phrase I use often. “this too shall pass“. Hang in there 💪
Hey Randy, thanks for being so vulnerable with us and sharing this process with the community, I hope you're taking care of yourself. Big hugs for you ❤️
I am on a mood stabilizer and an antidepressant. I got grief therapy and learned to feel my grief and work through it rather than ignoring it and pushing it away so that it builds up and then explodes. Good luck with the process and remember that it ebbs and flows. It isn't linear and long after you think you've handled it something will come out of left field and hit you like a land mine. it does get better.
my father passed 20 years ago and it’s still pretty raw for me. I didn’t have the anger thing but I certainly did take a nose dive into being obsessed with death and my own mortality. for better or worse I ended up reading every book on the Black Death that I could lay hands on. bit weird that, I know, but in the end I somehow got the death obsession more or less under control. too many drug takers in my family for that to have been an option for me, I avoid the stuff with extreme prejudice. anyway, saw your video today whilst browsing through your backlist and found it refreshing honest and cathartic. be well. 👍🏼✌🏼🖖🏼
My father died 12/27/1958, left my mother with 5 kids and pregnant, I was 8yo and the oldest. I never really dealt with it until I was in my late 30s when alcoholism the 12 step recovery programs and a divorce drove me into therapy. Talk to your wife, talk to a grief therapist/counselor, whatever. But most importantly, don't try to do it alone by masking/ignoring/burying the pain alive. I was a very angry and depressed young man for way too many years. Some say: no pain, no gain. Best wishes, processing grief is not necessarily a smooth journey and there's all kinds of ways to get there. Sounds like you're headed in the right direction. Take it 'One Day At A Time.'
Hey Dude, Hope you're being kind to yourself. I'm on Venlafaxine (and have been for a couple of years). First medication that's actually had a positive impact on my mental health. Structure & Support are the bedrock of feeling ok for me. Keep on keeping on mate.
I'm with you brother. I lost my dad the day after father's Day last year. It's almost been 7 months. I'm still grieving. Firsts are hard. First birthday, first Christmas without him. Not to mention we had a historic winter storm where I live so I was stuck alone in my apartment all Christmas. Ill be thinking about you man. It sucks but you gotta just keep living unfortunately. I was on anti depressents since I was 20 but after he died I started to get off them. I just wanted to feel normal again idk.

Well said, and well done. There's that bravery, again.

Hey, please take a break from work. Sorry about this, but I think you need to take a break too. Loosing a family member is though.
You tube ain't the answer, looking for likes definitely isn't, there is no reason on this planet to use personal troubles on you tube
Ps,if I could buy you a pint I would 😉
If it gets other people talking it can't be a bad thing.. Right?
