Hi RD,

I'm very sorry for your loss. 

I lost my dad just over five months ago, shortly after a cancer diagnosis and I am also struggling. My dad was my best friend, I saw him everyday and the void left behind is indescribable. As I got older my parents were the people I used to enjoy spending time with the most. 

I used to tell my dad all about my day, my parents lived five minutes down the road and now there is just an emptiness. I think about him constantly and just want to talk to him again. I miss him so much. I am trying to just get through each day and support my mum but it feels like the joy has gone out of the world.

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.

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
