I'm so sorry for your loss.
The only thing i can tall you is that i had the same experience with my "father"(Uncle) tragically died several years ago and the grief never really goes away, but you learn how to live with it and continue with your life...eventually.
I wish you strength to do this when the time comes in the meantime allow yourself to grief, to mourn him and also for you to remember him dearly.

Losing a parent is incredibly difficult, I lost my mom almost three years ago. I am sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss OP. What I noticed with my experience with grief is that the start wasn't really that difficult. Maybe because my brain didn't process it. It's after a while when you actually start to miss the person, when you want talk with them, when you want to share this funny video you saw on the internet. That's when the pain really sets in.
Talk about how you feel, cry a lot. Just try to be open about how you feel, that really helped.

Very sorry for your loss. No one can understand what you are going through individually, but the best advice I could give having gone through similar circumstances with my dad is to really make an effort to give yourself time and take care of yourself. I also felt I was more prepared when my dad died because he was in bad shape for a long time, but really it just meant I was too numb to deal with it when it finally happened. Allow yourself the time and space to process everything and grieve and don't feel guilty about that.
I'm sorry for your loss, OP. I'm dealing with episodes of grief myself right now as I lost my father last Thursday and my grandmother on my father's side the same day. There will be times where you'll feel like crying, or in a solemn mood and its okay to express your grief however it comes. Its also ok to express them alone if you don't wan't to share with the family. You have family to go to and be each others emotional rocks to support each other so that's good. Give yourself whatever time you desire to go through your loss.
Lost both of my parents about three years to this month as well. So terribly sorry from the bottom of my heart. It does get better and the memories that hurt now do bring some peace later, but unfortunately that just takes time.
My condolences OP
As someone who went through something similar, spend time with your mother and brother and embrace how you're feeling - grief is a normal emotional response. Remember your father for the person he was and what that means to you and family. Honestly, time is the only thing that meaningfully helped me and even then the scars are still there. You will grow stronger out of all this.
My condolences vaderise. Lost my father to it early in the pandemic last year and my friend just lost his as well. We're never really prepared for it but we learn to accept it over time.
I'm sorry for your loss OP
I just recently had my mother pass away last week. Not covid related but I understand how you feel

I'm so sorry OP
Losing a parent is just the worst thing. About 15 years ago my dad had a Brain surgery that was do or die.. he survived and made a full recovery..
On the flip side I lost my mum to cancer in Nov 19.. she was only diagnosed in Aug 19...
So I've seen both sides of the coin.. neither is an experience I'd want to wish upon anyone..
The main piece of advice is take some time out during all the things that need to be done.. just keeping checking in on yourself and access how you feel, are you coping etc, seek out help if needed, talk to people about yourself and your wellness.
I wish you the best.

Fuck, I'm so sorry, man. This fucking virus.
we're all here for you, in one way or another.
Very sorry for your loss. I am 46 years old, and damn damn damn 53 is just way to young.
Not sure what else to say, try and hang in there.

I know what it's like to lose loved ones, in particular to Covid-19, so I empathize whole-heartedly.
As for advice. All I can say is to allow yourself to feel the grief, anger, frustration, etc, and not try to suppress it. There's really no escaping the pain of loss, so the best thing to do for yourself is to let it happen, because, in time, it will pass. Not that you'll ever not miss your father, or erase the pain, only that the rawness of the loss will subside, and the healing process will begin. There's no easy answer to give you, unfortunately. I've found what has helped me during my grieving process is to reminisce on the good times you had with your father. Laughter truly does help, even if it doesn't stop the tears and sadness from welling up. Just the process of expelling those emotions is a kind of release that opens the door towards healing, though it's not a quick process, believe me.
Sending lots of positive energy, healing, and strength to you and your loved ones during this time.

That's way too young. My heart breaks for you, OP.
Everybody grieves differently, it's not a process that follows any rhyme or reason. Give yourself as long as you need to to mourn and when the time is right, the happy memories you have of him and the impact of his life on you and others will bring you a semblance of comfort.
Don't ever feel like you need to stop grieving though. It's a life long process and it never gets easier. We simply learn how to cope with loss in different ways.

My dad died in April. It's rough shit. Definitely took some time to crawl out of the bushes. Still pops into my head regularly but easier to handle now.
