I'm sorry for your loss Adam. The death of a parent is one of the most devastating and challenging things that can happen. If your parent dies suddenly or violently, coping is even harder as there was no time to prepare or say what you had to say before saying good-bye. Unless we die early in life, we all go through the process of losing a parent we have known all of our lives, we know of no existence without our parents being there and that is why losing a parent can be such a traumatic ordeal for many people and we feel cheated out of the time we wanted to have with that person... THE GRIEVING PROCESS IS VERY PERSONAL AND INDIVIDUAL — there's no right or wrong way to grieve. We all take our own time to heal. No-one can tell you how you should feel when someone you love dies, just like there is no right way to grieve, there also no right amount of time to grieve. Life will never be the same again. Often grief is more noticeable for the first year because it takes a year to go through birthdays, holidays and special celebrations, when our parent's absence is obvious the loss is felt more intensely.... Of course, it will not always feel as overwhelming as it does at first, but the time of grieving depends on many things which will vary for each individual and also depend on the support you have. You will never 'get over' the death of your parent but you will be able to live with your loss and hopefully think more about the good memories than the pain of the grief. You need to get back to enjoying life, doing the things you enjoy, going out and keeping yourself busy... With time, the loving support of family and friends, and your OWN positive actions, you can find ways to cope with even the deepest loss.

Time does heal your pain. My parents have been gone for sometime now and I think of them most everyday, and Iike to think that when those thoughts come across my mind that they are thinking of me as well. Crying is good for the soul, so just let it out when you feel the urge, it will heal the heart.
