Hi Lulu86,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad. 

It's so hard isn't it, I'm only 5 minutes away from my parents too and spend a lot of time with them. It's just too painful to think I will never see my Dad again.

I feel like I never want to be ok again as my Dad was such a huge part of my life and miss him dreadfully.  

Take care  and I think doing one day at a time is the only way, at the moment.

Hi Becky,

Thanks for your reply. I know what you mean with thinking you will never be ok again. 

I want to keep talking about my dad and I think the focus, for me, is trying to find a way to keep my connection to my dad even though he is no longer physically here. I've no idea what that looks like right now. 

We are at a similar stage in terms of time frame since losing our dad's. If you ever want to chat please feel free to message. 

Xx

Thank you for your reply. 

I also need to keep my Dad in life, I talk about him a lot and when I don't know what else to do I go to his grave and sit with him, it's so upsetting but its the only way of being with him.

If you ever need a chat too, just message me. 

Thank you x 

Hello :) just jumping onto this thread. It's 14 weeks tomorrow since I lost my beloved Dad.

I thought I was doing ok but I'm clearly not. I went back to work 2 weeks after he passed away and now I'm thinking I didn't give myself enough time. 

I'm so angry that he left us so quickly. (23 days after diagnosis) I'm so angry that I didn't get to do some of the things with him that we talked about. I'm upset that my little boys don't have their devoted Grandad anymore. I could go on.....

I've done a lot of crying this past week and I've felt really low. Waves of emotion just keep hitting me and literslly knocking me for six. Some days I forget hes even passed and then I remember and it hits me again.

I just feel so sad x

Hi jo123456

I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand totally what you are saying, it's been 5 months since my Dad left and I feel so low, to cope I have to block it from my mind as if it hasn't happened but then it hits me and I get so upset, I'm trying to be ok for my Mum. 

Take care xx
