Hi Slipperyknot,
I’m glad you are here. I am sorry about your dad. I have lost both of my parents, and I know how difficult that is. Have you been able to stop drinking? Once you have a few days sober allow yourself to grieve. Look at pictures, remember all the great things about your dad, even the things that made you crazy about him, they’ll make you smile, cry, laugh and give yourself permission to feel sad.
Do something to remember your dad by, plant a tree, get a brick or rock engraved, go somewhere he liked to go and just sit there. The funeral is for the family to be able to say goodbye, but you don’t need s funeral to do that. Find that place where you feel you’re dad’s presence and spend some time there.
Sending lots of love and hugs your way.
❤️Delilah
