Hi joycejoyce - I lost my father on Friday and had his funeral today. The only advice I have is do your father proud keep your head up and remember the good times. I truly believe he is watching you m, it's odd because I don't know that i believe in God but I truly believe in the after life.  It's the only way I'm going to get through this. If you want to chat please don't be afraid to message. I am sending love. We put letters in with my dad that also helped me. Sorry for your loss xx

Hi Joycejoyce,

I am also so sorry for your loss although those words are no comfort at all really. I go to a great doctor who is very good, what I was told is that yeh you don't cope, and that's ok, your human and that's normal. I lost the love of my life Jean a month ago, it was in her bones too, well th bit was everywhere!! She went within two months. Only 47.

Anyway, the advice I was given is that the first 6 months is just pain, pure pain, all this go to counselling stuff ain't a great help while you are in so much pain.

Take one day at a time, especially at the moment, I am also finding all this xmas stuff very very annoying!

I hope you keep coming on and for these first six months, just talk to anyone and everyone that you trust and get through as best you can.

It's really helped me on here and chatted to some lovely people who, one way or another we all share something in common.
