Loss of my Dad, I'm heartbroken

Hi, I've just lost my Dad, I'm heartbroken, he was in the hospice for the last 10 days before he passed away, watching him suffer was terrible. The cancer spread rapidly and he fought to the last day. I'm missing him terribly and feel like I how can I carry on without him. My mum is taking it bad too. I'd give everything up I have to have him here.

  • I'm so sorry to read this. My Dad passed 3 weeks ago. We were very close and saw him most days. His funeral was a week ago today and it's been quite a surreal week since. A real struggle at times and he's constantly on my mind. My 3 children keep me distracted! I try to block out future thoughts and just tell myself I'm not seeing dad today. Not sure if that's really dealing with the fact he's gone forever but I will deal with that process when I'm ready. I have said to family and friends that if I was to get dad back but he'd still be suffering like he was at the end then I'd say no, leave him in peace.  
    Today is a hideaway day for me! 
    Take it a moment at a time. Crying and sadness shows just how much he was loved (and still is)

    Hi Kim,

    Thank you for your reply, I'm sorry about your dad. It's so hard isn't it, my dad's funeral isn't until a week on Monday, I'm dreading it. I keep thinking I'm just not seeing my dad today too, I can't deal with anything in the future, I keep thinking that he will come back and I can tell him what's been happening. I agree, crying and getting upset means we love them so much take care.
