I Lost My Dad

Hi

My dad was more like a Best friend to me but after over 2 weeks since he has passed. I find it difficult to handle since were always together. He has been going in and out of hospital since I was 5 years old and had alot of medical thing wrong with him because he was still a fighter. I think he had been in most of the wards and most nurses and doctors knew him for his visits. He spent Christmas in hospital but got out for the New year then went back in I think he knew he had cancer and only him. He only told me 2 days before he passed away with Lung Cancer. 

He always said to me "If I die, I'll die standing up"

I know everyone has to die at some point but i feel he left to soon and I never got to say goodbye or anything so I will get through and try to pick up my life again.

  • Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. We sound in a similar position although I'm 4 months in to this process. My dad was also my friend and neighbour so life seems pretty empty without seeing him out the window or popping in. My dad died 3 days after being diagnosed with cancer, believed of the lung. I think when they die so suddenly you are having to digest the diagnosis as well as the grief all in one. I still spend my days wondering did that really just happen? I know people die but my dad was only 64, far too young in my eyes. I still cry most days. Do you have anyone else around for support? It's really hard in the first few months, I've found once I'd more or less digested all the information and questions I had I've been able to remember him more for the man he was. My dad had hidden being unwell till a few weeks before he died, that's why I had some many questions. Keep coming on here, it provides lots of support. Take care.
