I lost my dad about a year ago and I need help because I still haven't come to terms with his death and because it was unexpected I feel more lonely. No one feels the way I do, I just need to know what I can do to help myself because its all getting to much and I feel like I can't breath with everyone giving me advice and telling what to do.
What should I do?

Hi Caitlin, i know the feeling. I lost my brother in jan 1971 and then my father in a truck accident in feb 1971. All came by surprise. What helped me was accepting that they are gone and in some ways are in a better place.
What your going through is a new experience, how ever bad it is. Just remember that good experiences will come your way also.

Your father loved you very much and would not like you to continue with this depression. Make good things happen in your life so your father will be proud of you.
Dont look at him as gone as his spirit will always be with you guiding you in life.
Some day we all will understand why these things happen and i have a feeling the answer will surprise us in that death is not what we thought is was.
Just pray to God to open his loving arms and hold your Dad very tight and to let him know that you miss him and will make him proud.
