Work's saving my life, but otherwise its very hard for me to focus. I have a strong tendency to go home and get mindless watching television, or DVDs.
I work out in a gym (free weights and aerobics classes). That's working well. For me it's a form of mortification of the flesh that's quite acceptable.
I go to state parks and hike and that helps. I hit the woods early and walk for hours and hours. That leaves me tired, but relaxed and generally in a better mood.

work is sometimes good and sometimes bad. sometimes you just need to be alone.

i never think abowt her ive i do it hurts lik hell

I've returned to work which provides a great support.

Retired; keep house tidy; cook for my husband and me; exercise (great therapy)

distraction works for a short time

I threw myself into work and at the moment this is helping but only because I blank it out.

Just trying to distract myself from the guilt of not being there for her

I have/had many hobbies but I get easily distracted when I try to sit and do the things I am interested in.

going to college.

They to stay busy. I just want her back. Want to sleep and at least dream of her to see her again.

Idle time does not agree with me! If I allow my mind to wander, it will only lead to that great untouchable sadness one feels with the death of a parent.

I trie and paint and some times go for walkes

I throw myself into work and I forget to be sad for a little while. Then I remember she's gone and cry all over again.

I made a book about my dad 2 keep all the memories of him and it kept me busy but it also reminded me off the pain of losing him
