I have a reoccurring dream that my dad is still alive too.

You know, I have no clue whatsoever as what this person is actually trying to say...

their dad died and they don't want to believe it cuz they misses him so much, so they check facebook for evidence that he's still alive(which is a deliberate delusion)
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Personally, I'm inclined to think he suicided or something, and to deny the fact, ST has convinced them self that he faked his death and if they keep track of FaceBook, one day he might be there.

I think she hasn't seen her dad in a very long time (or he left), so she just says he's dead.

I used to dream about that too. My dad died on a trip to california when I was three.
I would pretend that he hadn't died, but started a new life in Malibu. I made him a mansion on the beach where he went surfing everyday and a undercover job saving FBI agents. (needless to say I read a little too much as a child 
It's completely natural to want to escape reality and create an alternate world where things are better.
As you begin to accept your loss, that nagging doubt will start to go away (though I still think about him when I see a faked death on TV!)

Dealing with the death of a parent is hard, and entirely earth-shattering :[ I know the pain, and the stages of dealing. I'm still getting over it, and it's been almost four years since I lost my mom.
The pain never really goes away, but it (very) slowly gets less and less; it's good if you have friends to talk to and spend time with just to let things out. The rest of your family is there, too (I hope). A support net is always a good thing to have.

My mother just died in July, so I can relate about troubles with accepting death of a parent- especially in what sounds like to be a freak accident.
As much as I want to say that you need to move on, I would be hypocritical. I have subconsciously been daydreaming about telling my mother something, only to get angry at myself for forgetting she is dead.
But, it only makes things a lot more difficult if you give in to that "security blanket" by purposely pretending that he was alive. And when the day does come for you to confront your emotions, it won't be such a huge realization.
I am only assuming that you haven't accepted it, because pretending something like that is lying to yourself. And if you have accepted it, but just started pretending, then be cautious not to fool yourself into believing.
on top of that huge wall of text, I should add that you can note me if you want to talk.

yes there is.
I'm glad you are trying to be friendly and supportive with the ST but make sure you are supporting the right thing before you say that "there is nothing wrong with that".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never lie about my opinion just because I want to be friendly. I understand your point of view (why you say it's NOT okay), but every person thinks differently. To some people it's much better to know someone's dead and not lying to themselves, but to others, it's a lot better to believe in something else but the truth. Because the truth could hurt TOO much. It's a way to protect their own minds I guess...
oh, and just to tell you, I don't want to have a fight because of this conversation. Once someone got really mad about one of my comments. I don't want it to happen again.

But if he faked his own death, it means he doesn't want someone to know he's alive, and he wouldn't use his real name on such a high profile site as Facebook.

I think shes pretending hes dead.. And hes not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I think he already died and she's trying to convince herself otherwise.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I think he is dead. But she doesn't want him to be, therefor pretends he faked it. And that he's still alive. And checks Facebook to check for any activity

on the real postsecret, the secret that makes me get all choked up every time is 'everyone that knew me before 9/11 thinks i'm dead'
and it makes me wonder how many of the deaths in tragedies like the current australia bushfires are fake.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
i saw that one.
maybe it was good for them though. a fresh start?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes i know, they wouldnt do it otherwise. and i spose atleast their families get closure.
i just dont knwo if i'd be able to do it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
me neither. you'd have to be pretty desperate i supose.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That also gets me choked up.
And you just got me wondering about the Australian Bush Fire fake deaths now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its a weird thought.
would you take the opportunity to recreate yourself entirely?
sometimes i get jealous that they had the chance.
other times i hate them for leaving their friends grieving.

I have to agree with that.

So then, he is no longer with us? If so, I am sorry. I actually know a bit of this pain. My biological father died about 10 years ago. I was 8... It was hard.
