I feel like crap everyday now

My dad passed away on the 10th of this month and I'm feeling very sad, I have no one to lean or to turn to for support at all. I'm greiving alone and I feel so sad, I've tried to turn to my mom in this difficult time for me all to be told to just "get over it already" when I'm hurting because I lost a parent. both her and my siblings tell me to stop crying that I need to get over it already that I should be "tough" their stupid asses only say that because they weren't on good terms with him, so they aren't affected at all by his passing. my mom even said that she was happy that he died. I'm tired of having my feelings invaldated idk why my family supports other people who are in emotional pain but will dismiss my feelings. I really have no one to turn to any advice?

The grieving process is different for each person. My parents both died within a week of each other two years ago. I wept for a long time. I still miss them. Sometimes waves of sadness and longing for their presence still happens. I'll never be over them. They had a profound effect upon my life.

My faith in God helped me. He ministers to us in ways that are beyond comprehension, especially in our grief.

If you get no support from family, consider looking for a local grief support group. There are others around who understand your pain and loss.

@OverTheHill very good advice and I’m sorry for your loss also. Losing both within a week would be hard to cope with

@OverTheHill I'm sorry for your loss I imagine that losing both must be horrible, I need to restore my faith back in god as I feel like I had a fall out lately. I was thinking of seeking therapy or assisting in those grief groups too.
