How to say goodbye

My dad passed away 3 weeks ago. It's been the worst experience of my life. 
 

I went to the chapel of rest and have since visited 3 times. I am going today. How do I say goodbye? 
 

it's his birthday tomorrow and I'm heading home (2 hours away) tonight. The funeral is in 5 days time.

I know I need to say goodbye and not go back. However he looks lovely. 
 

I know I need to live and allow him to rest but we were so close and I miss him so much. Yesterday I played music and said goodbye now I feel that I must say goodbye to him and do something nice on his birthday. 
 

any advice?

    Hello Mands111

    I am so sorry for your loss, I too lost my only brother on Feb 14th to Lung Cancer I will lay his ashes to rest on 9th April, I too feel the same about saying goodbye, I think if you can think of the good times and memories that you have, perhaps it will ease your pain a little. That's what I will try on the 9th.  Sending you strength.
