Dad recently died and I just can’t believe it

My Dad was only given months to live but passed after a short number of weeks. I can't get my head round the fact he's gone. I keep going over our recent conversations, him holding my hand and hugging me, his hopes and plans for the future. I keep getting urges to ring or text him and then it hits me that I can't. I keep getting the usual "he's at peace now" and "he'd not want you to cry" but that's making my angry for some reason. I just wish it was a dream and I'll wake up :(

    My Dad died after 3 months of diagnosis. He was my best friend, hero, parent and all round good man. 
    The trauma of what you have seen and felt will never go away and never be understood by anyone but you. On the other hand, you are blessed. Not everyone gets to have the precious memories, fun times and easy chats with a parent that lasts a lifetime. With great love is a great loss. Be sad and be grateful. 
    You will meet again and you can tell him all your news of all the adventures you had whilst waiting.
