My father died just over a month ago, and now I feel like there is no point to life whatsoever. I feel like the only reason we are alive is so that we can make sure the next generation survives, and this just doesn't make me feel good at all. I think I am beginning to get depressed and I just want to know if it is normal to see no point in life, not want to live but also not want to kill yourself.
Of course its normal given your situation. You've gone thorugh a hell of a trauma so give yourself a break. Your feelings just show how deep your love is. Please get help/ counselling though because no one should be suffering like this alone. You need help to grieve and to move on and I hope you get this soon.
Survival? animals maybe, humans no!
Your dad has probably spent the best part of his life making sure you do more than survive, he wanted what all parents want most for their kids, to flourish and be happy.
If he wanted you to merely survive he'd only have to give you water and food once in a while :). But I'm sure the man tried the best that he could to make sure you are a champion-version of himself.
The 'point in life' as his child is to prove he was right investing his time and love in a person like you. You are his legacy, his proof to the world that he could accomplish something great.
If you crumble now, then that's it, you'll put to waste all of it. It will be like he never even tried...
It's times like this, you have to pick up where he left off, being the better man whenever you can. It's a big order, but it's what every child owes to their parent.
Be strong, and play harder... now it's all you!
