It’s my dads funeral today

My dad passed away from cancer a month ago today and none of it feels real at all. We found out he had stage 4 kidney cancer only in January. I live with my parents so I experienced everything from beginning to end. I've felt extremely numb and calm since he died which isn't like me at all, but this morning I'm feeling a bit scared about reality setting in because of the funeral. I know it's a celebration of his life and we will do him proud and memorialise all that was so amazing about him. But I'm terrified of my grief really coming to the surface because today I can't keep it locked away. I'm scared and I miss him so so much :(

    Hi Helen, so sorry to hear. My dad passed two weeks ago and I’m so so anxious for the funeral. Feel like I’m still in denial at the moment and so scared for the finality of the funeral. I moved home to help care for my dad and haven’t been able to go back to work, so feel like my worlds been completely destroyed and not sure how to go on. Sending you lots of love, you are not alone xxx
