Lost my Dad

I lost my Dad to cancer on father's day this year. Me and my husband were with him for his last few days in hospital, and held him as he took his last breath. Have bad panic attacks, which are worst at night. Thought I was getting better, but have had a big downward turn the last few days. When does life become more normal, I want to feel in control of my feelings but at the moment I definitely don't

  • Hi Sherrell, 

    I’m so sorry for your loss, I’m going through the same right now. I was with my dad as he passed in hospital almost two weeks ago. There’s so many emotions I’m feeling right now and feel a bit lost along with being angry and guilty us being here without him. 

    I don’t have any answers for you regards to when things ease as it’s still quite raw but wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss.

    Take care

  • Right there with you, I lost my wonderful dad, my best friend in April. I get a few better days now but also some terribly difficult days hence why I’m on here this evening as it feels like a safe place. Be kind to yourself, you feel this because you love him so and always will, time will be kind to you in turn xx

  • Thankyou for your kind words. I just want to feel normal again, not an emotional wreck. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that has ever lost a parent and noone could possibly understand how awful I feel.

    I take comfort from you saying you have good days. Hopefully your bad days will lessen.

    Take care, sending you love
