I Want to Be Positive About Life Is it normal (when a loved one has died) to feel a lot of...

I'm sorry you've been through -and are going through - so much

Anger is one of the five stages of grief - perfectly natural and normal

Loss can be overwhelming and our powerlessness in the face of it

It sounds like you are also feeling helpless that your ability to help your father and brother is compromised by distance

These are powerful emotions and realities to deal with

I think you need to accept the anger, reach out for help if you need it and above all be very kind and very gentle with yourself ❤️

Life is complicated, death is complicated, people handle death and grief in different ways, nobody's way is the only right way ...Hugs :)

Cancer is a filthy beast and the loss will be a part of your life for a while. Your dad will especially feel it, not so much when all the family is gathered, but after they all leave and he is there alone with just his thoughts for company. We are all just penciled in. The day we are born, we know that death will be our final chapter. We will all face it and the older we get and the more of it we see, the more we think of our own mortality. I hope the pain eases soon. It will finally come and there will be peace in your heart.

I don't think there is any such thing as "normal" at times like this.

People feel however they feel - angry at the disease, angry at the person for leaving, angry at themselves for not doing more...

There is no right or wrong...

There isn't a 'normal' with grief dear Kat. How YOU handle it, IS normal.
Warm thoughts to you.✨🌟 🤗

Anger is one of the stages of grieving. They are not linear. I think it’s more than a stage of grief though because of all the trials and tribulations you have endured for so long. What you feel is normal, Kat, and like you, I find anger energized me to positive action when I was so depressed that I couldn’t move. Anger is not always negative, sometimes we need it to give us that push to go on, when we feel like the world around us is crumbling.

Anger won't get you anywhere. I'm sorry for your loss, I really am, but I'll bet you can't find anyone on this site who hasn't lost someone. I lost my dad 3 years ago to cancer and my mom is currently being ravaged by dementia. I've gone through grief, sadness, and, yes, anger, but in the end, it's just the way life is. It spares no one.

It is perfectly normal to be feeling anger, your family has been through so much in the past years, and cancer can take a mean toll on, not just the patient, but also the family. It will take a while to get over that anger.

So sorry you lost your mom. It’s a loss that only those who have been through can truly understand. Hugs

It does help but it passes.

You know my uncle died a few year's ago. Yea I was sad. I may hve cried a little. I just don't let it bother me at all. His death was very hard on the family. Everyone was arguing and fighting over his stuff. I'm like I don't care about his stuff or his house. I don't care about his money at all.
