hope you are doing well. For me the worst part was the days when you go back to normal routine. When you are around family you handle it better together, but those first few days going back to school and work when my parents passed away were the worst because you are then on your own with it, with your own thoughts. My only advice is when the sadness creeps in, as it definitely will, think of the good things with your dad. Happy moments and such - and fully treasure the rest of your family and your close friends. it's times like these when you realize how much being a good brother, sister or friend can really mean to someone. just a kind word, or caring word here or there can really make a difference to people. my father passed away when i was 20 and ever since then I've tried to make a point of being there for friends in the weeks after someone passes, not just the first few days.
It's cliche, but time does help heal all wounds...

I'm so sorry....no words can take that kind of pain away. The only thing I can share is that the initial immense pain will get less over a long period of time. You will never get over his loss so don't even try to, as others will urge you to do. There is no time table for grief, each of us processes it differently. You will always miss him. Hugs and good vibes to you. ox

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
