• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Dad just passed.

My dad just passed one week ago, unexpectedly. He was only 48 and completely healthy. He had a heart attack. This is a huge shock and it's hard to believe this. I have NEVER dealt with a death before. I have a 3 year old daughter and I am pregnant now. My father was so excited for the new baby and kept saying he knew it would be a boy. I'm heartbroken that he is going to miss out on all of this. The reason I came to a Christian area is because I'm struggling with believing in souls and afterlife and all that now. I just feel he is GONE.
