Ayiti cherie
My condolences HairPleezeGrow! I lost my father last month...it is getting better as far as the crying fits in the middle of doing something or watching tv (that last glee episode jacked me up).
You have to try to take care of yourself as best as possible. I drank lots of peppermint & chamomile tea to help with my nervous & jumpy stomach. I also used Nature Made B stress complex...it helped to calm me a little. I prayed alot and talked to my Dad alot (still do). And TBH it has gotten a little easier...when i need to i take a break and look at pictures and specifically focus on good times or funny things that happened. But yeah you do have to navigate your own process...everyone isn't the same. Most important if you feel a need to let it out just do it. If you don't feel you want to talk to anyone just journal about it. But don't bottle up feelings...it has to come out.
You can pm me anytime if you wish and I really mean that.
ETA: Just went back and read that you are a nurse! With me I had to tell people that I was not a nurse right now, I'm a person who just lost their beloved father....for some reason people assumed I wanted to talk medical details and I did NOT. If you are also feeling that way too it is ok to say so!
