I don't know if this is a good place to put this, but I don't know of any other places that people have discussed this kind of thing. As some of you know, my father passed away 5 weeks ago today from ALS (3 years fight with Bulbar ALS). For those that have lost a loved one with this horrible disease, how did you cope with it? I'm still having a lot of trouble. I'm back to school (and have been for about 3 weeks now), but I still get overwhelmed a lot. It's been very difficult to concentrate on things. I toss and turn all night (it's hard to get a good night's sleep). Many times when I close my eyes all I can see is him from the night he died, looking pale and cold.
Mom is also not doing well. She's been very difficult to deal with. She has taken a lot of her grief out on me and it hurts a lot. She's done this the past three years (aka throughout the whole ordeal).
I've had some very negative and non-reasonable thoughts. I just need to know if other people have felt like this and how you got through it. I have a loving husband, but I feel like maybe he's even getting sick of hearing how sad I am and seeing me cry....
Please, just tell me how you coped with this loss.
