• 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.

Jo, you and your family are in my prayers. In the words of a great friend "my flesh is hurting but I am still trusting God". Even in your pain I pray for your comfort and your ability to grieve openly and honestly and I pray that in your valley of grief that Jesus Holy Spirit will gently lead you to the mountain top of healing. Please remember it is okay to grieve and mourn because our personal Savior Jesus Christ grieved and mourned.


Peace, Comfort and Blessings

:wave:Hi Jo, I am doing okay. It's normal how you feel when you lost your loved one. I know about that empty hole. I have experienced it and one day it just went away for me. You will see your Dad again just not now. I am praying for you to heal from this loss. It takes time, however much you need. Losing a parent is so hard. You can still have a connection by talking to him and say whatever you want. I did that when my mom passed away.:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:
