Hi there

I lost my dad last week. Though, I'm 32 so a bit older than you! I still feel very young to be going through this, and you are for sure.

I wouldn't worry about what you are or aren't feeling at the moment. I've been reading the Irreverent Grief Guide and she says month 1 is just about one foot in front of the other. Don't worry about crying or not crying. Just survive. She says it's easy to feel overwhelmed but just to do 'the next right thing'. That could be organising things, or it could just be having a slice of toast. So that's what I'm trying to do. Whatever feels like the next right thing.

I'm sorry you're doing this so young but good luck xxx
