Fathers death. For infertility.

Dear Aishwarya, Saying goodbye to a parent is one of the hardest things we face in our lives. It is also something that almost everyone goes through. It becomes unbearable when it happens very unexpectedly. For you, it's the previous day of your birthday. I can understand your situation. Losing a parent means a loss of childhood, of innocence, and a part of oneself. No other bond exists like the one with a parent. I would suggest certain things that you should do for your mental health. You must accept the reality of your father's death. You must experience the grieving and emotional pain of the loss. You must adjust to the world in which the deceased is no longer there. You must find ways to memorialize the deceased, and relocate the lost parent within his life in a different way. You are undergoing infertility treatment and you wanted your father to see your baby. He also must be excited to see your baby. Now you have to continue your treatment accepting the reality of your father's demise. Since I have provided counseling to many couples and individuals grappling with infertility, I know the emotional fallout of infertility. You should consult a Psychologist for counselling at the earliest. Counseling brings down your depression and anxiety that often arises from social pressures, bad memories or troubled relationships relating to infertility issues. These sessions work as a soothing therapy on even the most agitated mind feeling suicidal. I am happy to help you if you wish to consult me online.
