Guilty or pain no hope to live
I lost my father in may due to covid-19 it was a sudden shock as he was doing well. From that day I was not able to cry as I couldn't cry.. I only feel lost somewhere not sure what's going on just doing daily routine things as a robot.Not anymore interested in doing the things I used to love.. I curse myself as he was not ready to get hospitalized but I insisted him that he will be fine soon as in hospital he will get better treatment. His voice echoes in My ear "Beta I'm fine mjhe hospital ki need NHI hai" but I didn't hear and forced him. Sometimes I feel suicidal to end my life and move on. Not sure no hope to live. Not able to see my mother in pain and sorrow.

Hi dear, First please stop blaming yourself. I can understand pain, grief of losing a parent. Our life, our reality is turned upside down. By feeling guilty we give ourselves a sense of having control over the situation. We create cause and effect, saying to ourselves, " because I did this , then this happened". And these self inflicted emotional wounds plunge us in despair. SO STOP TORMENTING YOURSELF OF THESE SELF ACCUSATIONS. We are human beings and what you did was just the right thing at that time. It's not in our hands always what outcome will be taking place . We have to ACCEPT TRUTH AND MOVE ON. JUST THINK CAN WE CONTROL LIFE , DO WE HAVE POWER TO MAKE EVERYTHING GO AS PER OUR CHOICE ....NO ....THEN . WE ALL HAVE DESTINY . HOW TO COPE WITH GUILT. # acknowledge # accept # Seek a new perspective --- talk to someone , a counselor may be , talk out entire burden in your heart , just vent out. It will ease your pain. # Look at whole picture-- focus on positive things . # Redirect guilt --- direct that same energy and time to a project that is outgrowth of this loss.. # Focus on yourself. # Validate your feelings. # Honor their memory , fulfill their dreams. # ACCEPT HELP # EMBRACE FAMILY.
Next Steps
# Reach out to others for help. # Allow yourself to completely express your grief. # Embrace your grief and heal. # It's a process, give yourself time . # Help yourself heal.

Hi You are upset about the loss of your father. It is important to remember that you did the best you can to take care of your father. You don’t have to feel guilty. You are not interested in activities you once enjoyed and it is important for you to work on feeling better. A psychologist will guide you on how you can feel better.
Next Steps
You can contact me for counseling session.

Hello there I can understand what you might be going through. Sometimes things are not in our control. We try our best but we fail. That doesn't mean that we should blame ourselves for that. I can also understand that as a son, you aren't able to look at your mom's pain and that it's hurting you from inside. Don't worry, consult a good therapist or a psychologist as soon as possible. You can also contact me and I will try to help you towards your recovery. Let's discuss your problem in detail so that you can get towards your solution. Take care. Stay safe and strong. Everything will be alright. You got this!

Most people will experience loss at some point in their lives. Grief is a reaction to any form of loss. Bereavement is a type of grief involving the death of a loved one.  Bereavement and grief encompass a range of feelings from deep sadness to anger. The process of adapting to a significant loss can vary dramatically from one person to another. It often depends on a person’s background, beliefs, and relationship to what was lost. GRIEVING THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS Grief is not limited to feelings of sadness. It can also involve guilt, yearning, anger, and regret. Emotions are often surprising in their strength or mildness. They can also be confusing. One person may find themselves grieving a painful relationship. Another may mourn a loved one who died from cancer and yet feel relief that the person is no longer suffering. People in grief can bounce between different thoughts as they make sense of their loss. Thoughts can range from soothing (“She had a good life.”) to troubling (“It wasn’t her time.”). People may assign themselves varying levels of responsibility, from “There was nothing I could have done,” to “It’s all my fault.”  Grieving behaviors also have a wide range. Some people find comfort in sharing their feelings among company. Other people may prefer to be alone with their feelings, engaging in silent activities like exercising or writing. The different feelings, thoughts, and behaviors people express during grief can be categorized into two main styles: instrumental and intuitive. Most people display a blend of these two styles of grieving: Instrumental grieving has a focus primarily on problem-solving tasks. This style involves controlling or minimizing emotional expression. Intuitive grieving is based on a heightened emotional experience. This style involves sharing feelings, exploring the lost relationship, and considering mortality. No one way of grieving is better than any other. Some people are more emotional and dive into their feelings. Others are stoic and may seek distraction from dwelling on an unchangeable fact of living. Every individual has unique needs when coping with loss.
Next Steps
You need counselling. Contact me for counselling and further assistance. Sometimes people grieve for years without seeming to find even temporary relief. Grief can be complicated by other conditions, most notably depression. The person’s level of dependency on the departed can also cause complications. The grieving process often involves many difficult and complicated emotions. Yet joy, contentment, and humor do not have to be absent during this difficult time. Self-care, recreation, and social support can be vital to the recovery. Feeling occasional happiness does not mean a person is done mourning. Grieving the loss of a loved one be a difficult process, whether the loss is due to death, a breakup, or other circumstance. One of the hardest challenges is adjusting to the new reality of living in the absence of the loved one. Adjusting may require a person to develop a new daily routine or to rethink their plans for the future. While creating a new life, a person may adopt a new sense of identity. 
Health Tips
RECOVERING FROM GRIEF Everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. Some people recover from grief and resume normal activities within six months, though they continue to feel moments of sadness. Others may feel better after about a year.  Therapies for Grief Management Issues Mental health and medical professionals use a number of therapies for grief management issues. Options include individual counseling, group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, and participation in inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation programs. Because grief is a very personal reaction to a situation in your life, treatment planning should be equally personal. Speak with your physician or a mental health counselor about your options before you decide on treatment. If you don’t know where to get information about treatment for grief-related issues, call . Our trained counselors are available 24 hours a day to help you find information about programs in your area. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Individual counseling, group therapy and complicated grief treatment are other therapeutic models that could assist with grief-related problems. Complicated grief treatment involves a three-phase process that includes setting goals for recovery, coping with and sharing the loss, and reviewing progress and planning for the future. A clinical trial that compared complicated grief treatment (CGT) to psychotherapy found that CGT was more advantageous in helping individuals deal with grief.

Hi... These are all signs and symptoms of depression. This is caused by the sudden loss of your father but now it is an illness itself which requires proper treatment. Please consult a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist. Your treatment will involve medication (antidepressant) and psychotherapy/counselling. Please don't leave it on its own. Our thoughts and emotions also have a physiological base and now there is issues at that level. This requires professional help.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist (counselling) and a Psychiatrist (medication). CBT along with Grief Counselling and Lifestyle Guidance is required.
