I really miss my dad, i don't know how to cope?

My family life may be complicated to some, but I wouldn't change it for anything. I'm 17, I have 2 sisters and we all have different dads. My little sister alice who's 7 was my stepdads daughter, but me and my other sister were treated no different, he loved us all equally and would do anything for us. I live with my nan, my mum lives round the corner and my stepdad lived down the road. I saw him almost every day, and it's so hard still living here because everytime I walk down the street I'll have memories of being with him, and it isn't easy. He died on 23rd Novemeber 2012, at the age of 36. His funeral was a month after his death, and only 3 weeks ago we found out the cause of death. I have repeating nightmares about him, and it's draining me. I feel like I have nothing to live for. When does it get easier? it isn't any time soon. I just remember seeing that hearse, picking out the flowers to go ontop of his coffin, I rememeber everything. I remember all the good times I had with him. I'm so thankful for my age, because the past 3 years because instead of him just being a dad, we were able to become such good friends. We'd get drunk together, I'd go up to his house and have such a laugh with him. But I'm finding it too hard to cope, I'm crying as I write this because I just want him back. and it's pointless, because nothing can bring him back and his death keeps hitting me over and over. I remember going down to his house on the night he died to see his mum - people were there, his brother, his family. What I didn't know as I was about to leave the living room, was that the body was still in the house. and I ran out, he was upstairs and just about to be brought down. That's something that I can't forget. It makes me feel so sick. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, when does it begin to get better? does it get easier? does the pain go? I want everyone to know what an amazing man he was, he'd always have you laughing, but it just kills me inside to know that it's forever gone. I know that's life, people die, we all die eventually. It's just affecting me so much, I don't want to leave my bed, I'm so depressed. I'd like to leave this world and be with him. I'd be happy to die, I can't wait. I'll feel no more pain, and I can be with him again.

    The good part is you understand we all have to die someday. The bad part is you don't want to leave your bed. So, you need to leave your bed, go out with your friends.

    Time will heal,some just take awhile longer. Keep yourself busy by doing

    volunteer work. Help others who are less fortunate than you, like the blind,handicaped

    and elderly. Cheer up, life is filled with surprises and challenges. You are young and you are strong. Get out and start a new chapter.

    That's a pretty short life; probably nobody saw that coming. You expect grandparents to die but not your young parents.

    It might be theraputic to write about him. Like an essay. You can send it to some of the magazines; they're always looking for uplifting stories. It might help others to appreciate their dads more. (I'd leave out the drunkenness part)
