Increased depression after the death of my father

During the funeral, I had unreasonable ideas. Sometimes I doubt the death of my father; sometimes I accept that and feel overwhelmed! I got your post about the book !

@aliali No doubt you are seeing there are so many things to do, and perhaps it is overwhelming. Learning to adjust your life now without your father can seem impossible some days, doesn't it? Please don't think it all has to be done at once! As others have said, it is a process. Perhaps pick one or two things you have done most days, that are a habit, and make sure you do that. Having something in your day that is "normal" will help you, I bet.

@aliali- I get this. It's not uncommon to think and cry about a number of things after someone close dies. I don't know if you can call your thinking unreasonable. Your thoughts will go through so many different things. And there is no rhyme or reason for it. They just happen-They are free-floating. I use to see my dad all over the place after he passed away. Strange that I never did that after my mom passed away. I don't know if you can really force yourself away from negative thoughts. I had many after my mom died and it has taken my a long time to go through that.
Just know that what ever you feel or think is ok. All things like this are allowed and many have thought and felt that way before you and will after you. Do you think that instead of worrying about all of this you just let your mind run free and see where it takes you?
