I Can't Move On In This Most Painful Episode In My Life

My father has passed away this month. It is painful because he died without his family on his side. He passed away at the faraway place. When I knew it, I seemed to die. Until now, it is harder for me to move on. I don't know what to do. I have the God inside me, but every time I can remember his favorite foods, I am in a pain. Every time I can hear the ringtone of my mother's phone, I am in an agony. It is the most painful thing I have ever felt in my whole life. When my father arrived through the airport, I asked more strength to the Lord that I can handle my feelings and my mother. I was glad I was calm, but I was in a deep sorrow to meet his coffin. It should be my father who is alive that we met at the arrival area, not a coffin. I seemed to die. After we brought him to the grave, I thought I can sleep, but the sorrow is even worst. The colors in my life are fading. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to accept the reality that he is gone. I would like to cry but I hate to see my mother seeing me crying because I don't want her to be weak. At this moment, I am seeking for a friend who can help me to cope this sorrow. I can always remember my father. I don't know how to move on. I can't sleep. He is always in my mind and heart. For me, he is the best father in the world. 2016 is the worst year for me.

Just talk to him and ask him to appear in your dream. There is no way you can move on until you accept that he is in a better place now

I am very to hear about your loss , my friend . It is indeed so devastating when a father working in a far place would suddenly go home in a coffin . Be strong , my friend , because you are right , your mother should see you crying lest she too would lose all her enthusiasm to live anymore . Please pray for more courage , enlightenment and guidance . You will be fine , my friend , after your have grieved enough .
