Hi Mandy,
Welcome to the forums. I'm glad you chose to reach out to us.
You've been through a number of traumatic experiences in such a short space of time. It's understandable that you are feeling a bit lost.
Have you considered having some grief counselling? It would be good to speak with someone about what's happened. We never really seem to have the tools to deal with grief and loss on our own. Getting through it with the support of a counsellor or Psychologist can be easier.
Have you still got contact with your dad? Have you got other family and friends that are supporting you? In these times we often want to withdraw, yet surrounding yourself with people who love you can be so beneficial.
I hope you will get back to us.
AGrace
