I'm only 18 and i'm scared to tell anyone i don't know how they will react. The loss of a parent is a difficult adjustment for anyone, particularly in the unexpected manner in which your father passed. Grief is the normal process of reacting to the loss. Each type of loss means the person has had something taken away. Grief may be experienced as a mental, physical, social, or emotional reaction.
Mental reactions can include anger, guilt, anxiety, sadness, and despair.
Physical reactions can include sleeping problems, changes in appetite, physical problems, or illness. Social reactions can include feelings about taking care of others in the family, seeing family or friends. As with bereavement, grief processes depend on the relationship with the person who died, the situation surrounding the death, and the person's attachment to the person who died. Grief may be described as the presence of physical problems, constant thoughts of the person who died, guilt, hostility, and a change in the way one normally acts. Hearing your father calling your name, or even having visions of him may be normal.
