I lost my daddy at 36 he was 78. He was my best friend my confidant my go to and I was absolutely devastated when he was given just weeks to live. I found a peace with him that meant I could cope with him going afterwards. I have to say that 3 years on its still as painful if not more as I haven't seen or spoken to him for 3 years his space on my sofa is empty and whenever I need something he's not there just in my heart heart and thoughts. Sadly my mum couldn't cope without my dad and 12 weeks after he passed away she took her own life. I have to say that the pain doesn't subside but you learn to live without them and in some ways strive to make them even more proud of you than they already were. I take a comfort in spiritual guidance and it helped me to understand that they never truly leave they are simply in the next room. Please take care of yourself look after yourself and most of all be kind to yourself. Best wishes.
