Topanga-
It is a great skill and personality trait that your Dad taught you, the desire to DIY. I agree with what I think you are feeling, that sometimes the need to DIY can be overwhelming. The others have said it to you already, try to forget about the MB for awhile and take satisfaction in driving your Dad's car.
You will understandably grieve for a long time. Eventually, you may find working on your MB enjoyable once again.
In a way, you have a gift from your Father that you will enjoy every time you use pick up a tool.
