ADD and Dealing with the death of my father

[stmicah]

My Dad past away 5 weeks ago.  I am ok with him passing because he was a preacher for 32 years. He was diagnosed with throat cancer.  Doctors said it was treatable.  The cancer slowly ate away his main blood vessel in his neck. On Aug 28, 2011 i was with him when he hemridged and bleed to death in my lap at his home. I cant get visuals out of my head. My wife is starting to get frustraded with me because i get down mostly in the afternoons. I try to stay strong for my son.  I just dont know what else to do.

I'm sorry for your loss.
It's only been five weeks...it takes time to heal. My dad passed away almost a year ago now...and I'm still having nightmares/issues about watching him pass away in front of my eyes.
Your wife, like my husband, needs to learn to be more empathetic...some people handle loss better than others. My husband has never lost anyone close to him, so he has no idea how it feels.
Two days after my dad passed away he started in on me, telling me to stop crying, etc. I wanted to slap him silly.
You should try posting this on depression forum as well...if you haven't already.
