four months ago i lost my father , and up to now , i still remember him deeply , not like normally others thought , because when he was alive i couldn't try my best to look after him , the lack of money and the situation made me unable to do the things that i had thought to do . now he was dead and when i think this i felt deeply regreted , how should i forget the past and face present . please tell me , thanks

I am sorry to read about your father passing and I am sure that you are still working your way through the grieving process; this is a natural part of healing. We all look at diferent situations in our lives and thing that "if only I had done this" or "I should have done more"; you did all that you could for your father, loved and respected him. You will always carry his memory with you.....but you have to allow yourself a little time to grieve and then move forward. Your father would not want you to "stop" your life because of this. I will pray for you and your family. Good luck.

I resently lost my father also and it is not easy to deal with. I am sorry for your lose.If I was you I would just remember the good things and know that your father loved you and understood that you did what you could do for him, you can't go on blaming yourself for you did the best that you could.It might help if you sat down and wrote your dad a letter just telling him your sorry you couldn't do more that might help you to get over blaming yourself.It is not your fault, keep your head up and do the best that you can do for you and your family and your father will be watching you and I am sure you will make him feel proud, he will always be in your heart.And remember he will always love you no matter what.
