Jemmie,
It certainly could get worse, but try to focus on what there is that is good, and also, on what you want to create for yourself. This too shall pass, as the saying goes. Blessings to you.

I'm not laughing at you. In fact, when I lost my cousin back in '89, I wrote him letters to help ease my pain. And I've started doing the same with this loss. I have a blank journal I've dedicated to letters I'm writing to my dad.

The first year after sudden loss
It's so hard to accept that when you love someone deeply it's going to hurt like hell if you lose them. The first year is full of fresh memories and it is not going to be easy. Although no parent is perfect, the truly special ones manage to love their children perfectly. It sounds as if your dad loved you very much and that love is the light that will break through all your current dark pain, but recovery is a process and it takes time. I believe we don't ever lose those we love; our relationship with them just changes into something different. Laugh at me if you wish, it's okay, but I've written a lot of letters to those I've loved and lost to death. Makes me feel silly sometimes, but it helps.

Somehow you have to take a step at a time. Sorry about the job. Perhaps this will free you to explore more options. take care
