I lost my father three months ago. I am heartbroken. We were very very close. It doesn't seem real yet I know I can't see him again. How do you cope with it all?
I lost my Dad 3 months ago too, exactly a week before Christmas. I missed my Dad by literally 30 seconds too late but my Mum and Brother had got to the hospital about 20 mins before. I'm finding it still so hard to accept that I didn't get there in time and that I didn't get to say goodbye. That is what is killing me the most. I have been told by many that my Dad would have known I was there as your hearing is the last sense to go and I'm trying to take comfort from that but like you, I can't get my head around the fact that I will never see him again. I visit his grave a couple of times a week and that brings me peace and comfort when I'm there and talk to him and make sure his grave is nice and tidy. I know my Dad would hate seeing me so upset and would want me to enjoy my life and carry on doing things that bring me joy and happiness but it's so hard. I've gone from crying every day to every other day then maybe every 3 days. I believe it does get easier and you have to learn to live with your loss but I have days where I just break down and sob my heart out as I miss him so much. I just wish Heaven had visiting hours x
I don't know about you but I feel guilty even for trying to laugh at things. It's when you are on your own when you have time to think that it's the hardest. I do like to think that my Dad is up there looking down on us all.
It is very hard. I hope that one day in the future our tears are replaced with smiles when we think of our Dad's.
Grief has no time frame. Please be kind to yourself and take care xx
