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.

  • hi, so sorry to be reading about losing your dad 

    I lost my dad to bowel cancer 7 years ago and my heart was ripped in 2

    over time i thought that if my dad knew i was going around miserable and in tears all the time that it would make him sad so i chose to start doing things and getting out and about and trying to be happy again and it works ( still have bad days ) but a lot of good days now that i know he will be happy if im happy 

    we all cope and grieve very different but that was my way in the end 

    it never leave you love but things will get better in time i promise

  • Hi Caryn1,

    Thank you for your time to reply to my message, I'm so sorry about your dad too.  Right now I can't think about never seeing my dad again, I suppose one day at a time is the best thing to do and like you my dad wouldn't want me to be unhappy but can't imagine how I can live my life without him  

    Take care xx
