My worries since my dad's passing

I opened your discussion thread, Eric, so you can more easily follow the posts from our friends.

Good morning, here is my problem: I always have high blood pressure when I try to do something I can't manage to do. This happened to me a week before Christmas. Before that, I didn't know that my father had passed away, and it just happened on its own.

Hello Eric,

It seems to me that you were deeply affected by your father's death, which you found difficult to grieve. It was as if your own life had slowed down since he passed away; if I remember correctly, that was in mid-2005. It is normal that on the eve of Christmas you felt a sense of malaise, given that it is a family holiday and that you missed him intensely at that time.

Unfortunately, you will have to accept this death and be brave.

Grieving a loved one is not easy, and if you wish, we will help you through it so that you can feel better.

I remain at your disposal and wish you much courage.

Hello Eric,
First of all, thank you for your trust, and welcome to the site.
I send you my condolences and wish you courage and patience.
It is true that a death is hardly a joyous event, and it is also a difficult slope to climb.
For my part, we never forget the person who has passed away, but we accept their absence a little more, with nostalgia. Believe me, that is just how we are: we think we will never get through our sorrows, and yet, with time, we do see the end of our sorrows and our efforts. There are days when we have energy and days when we have no energy or none left; we cannot be at our best every day.
Kind regards
Ladysally
