I lost my dad this past August to alcoholism and don’t know how to move on. He was my best friend and it hurts that the people in my life act like nothing happened and tell my mom “she’s still young and can find someone” as if that’s an appropriate response to someone who just lost their soulmate. It seems like if I don’t keep myself busy I go into a depressive and anxious state. If anyone else has lost a parent and has any tips on how to feel “normal” again, I’d greatly appreciate it.
