• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Abiel, I am truly sorry to hear about your dad. You say that being an only child is the hardest thing at the moment. I would like to ask you why this is, but only if you think talking about it might help you. Is it that you feel a lack of someone close to you on the same wavelength that you can share your grief with?

In these situations, talking helps a lot. If there is anything you would like to share here, then I get the feeling there are many here who would be only to willing to respond with a listening heart.

May God's peace be with you and your close ones.

awwww.....sweetie :hug: :hug:. I am really sorry. I cant imagine loosing a parent at ANY age. God just thought it was his time to go. How old was he? Did he have Chrsit in his heart? If he did and you do then you are guarenteed to see your father in Hevean someday soon. I know I may only be 16 and such a young one still but please know if you need anything despite your age and my age that you are welcomed to PM me. I love helping people. Jesus is with you and so is your father. I am sure he is looking down at you right now and smiling because of you having enough courage to tell us this. God bless you sweetie and please know that God loves you and so do I. Yuor father will always love you. Always, always remember the good times you had together and just be aware that we are here for you.


Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wrench like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see.

GOD BLESS YOU!
