What can i do to numb emotional pain, ive just been really depressed today thinking about my dad....?

i know exactly how you feel, i lost my big brother 8 years ago, and i've just recently lost my younger brother too. they say time is a healer, but the pain doesn't go away, we just learn how to deal with it a little better. i know its hard around birthday times and other occasions when you want them around. try to think of all the happy times you and your dad had together the times when you were full of laughter, or the things he used to do that made you laugh. it makes the hard days a little easier to deal with when you have good memories.
