Really sorry to hear that, I send my condolences.
My uncle had passed away about 2 years ago and I was there with my cousins to keep them company and help them through that terrible time.
The best thing I could think of is to spend time with people you love, don't let it keep you down. Go out with some friends and try your best not to think about it (don't ignore it, but don't just focus mainly on it).

I lost my step-dad four years ago in November and that was really hard. I never knew my biological father before so I spent 18+ years calling him "Dad" simply because I never knew my real father, and to this day I still don't know who he is or whatever. All I can really say is just take it one day at a time, that's all you can really do. After my step-dad passed, I took at least a week or two off from work. Originally, as he had passed away at the end of November, my original plans were to take till the first of the new year off and then go back to work, but my mom and I decided it was best to go back to work sooner than later... the job I had at the time kept my mind off of what had happened at home, if only for a few hours (I was a housekeeper at a local hotel. Had we not moved out of our former city it would have been nearly six years this June). My condolences to your family and all I can really say right now is just hang in there and take things one day at a time. Don't force yourself to do stuff, just take it easy, and if it's a big task, take like little baby steps or something. Good luck, bud.

No problem! Also, one of my favorite generas of music is religious music so if you have any religious artists you like in particular feel free to listen to any of them anytime as well. There's a lot of inspirational songs out there to choose from.
Unfortunately, there's not really anything you can do. When a loved one dies, it's natural to feel extremely sad over it. In some cases, the death may hit an individual exceptionally hard, and they don't know what to do.
The only thing that really works is just giving yourself time. Time to heal emotionally, and time to accept the loss. One thing I could recommend is do an activity you and your father enjoyed when you were younger, or just an activity he enjoyed. Something such as fishing, or hunting, or whatever it may be. While you will feel sad while doing said activity, you'll be happy because of the memories and the fun times. It may just end up being the closure you need.
If you ever need to talk, please don't hesitate to PM me.

I'm really sorry to here this. I would recommend taking 1-3 days off of work and doing something you enjoy. Maybe your hobbies or something. I would also recommend when you feel like crying, Just cry. It will make you fell better in yourself instead of just keeping the tears in. 🙂
My condolences, ddoesmc. I agree with above posters about taking a rest, crying as much as you want, and giving yourself time to accept the situation. Talk to families and friends when you are ready. The pain will take longer to heal, but at least you are not alone in that situation. I wish you and your family strength.

Your welcome, I hope it goes alright for you! 🙂
I am very sorry for your loss! While I have not lost my father, I did lose my child, so I know how heartbreaking it can be to lose someone. The truth is, you never actually get over it. But, you have to remember that he is still with you in your heart and you have to slowly begin to pick up the pieces and move on with your life. It never goes away, it's not something you can just "get over," but at some point, it does get easier.
