    My dad just recently died, and im the only one in my family that wants to be sane. I do everything around the house now, I stay strong. But I havent had any time for myself, and when I try to help myself, everyone goes downhill again. Im sick of being the backbone of my family. I need to mourn too, because im becoming emotionless, cold. I dont feel anything anymore. *sigh* Any advice??

    Everyone needs time to themselves and to let their emotions out. By constantly taking care of your family you are denying yourself of that right. I know what it feels like to lose someone so close and have to pick everything back up, I might be going through that again in the near future. You must always take time for yourself though, because you are important too.

    Sometimes keeping busy is the best way that some people can mourn, but if you need time for yourself, take it. You don't need to become the back bone for your family, you all need to help each other through it.

    Sorry for your loss and I hope it gets better for you Darling. =)
