Hi, my name is Jane and I lost my Dad to cancer at the end of last week... i am not sure how to cope... I'm overwhelmed and would just like to hear how other people have coped... I'm sorry to ask as it's so close to everybodies heart xx
Hi Jane
I'm so sorry that you have just lost your Dad. I don't know what else to say as I lost my Dad on 6th August 2016 and I know I'm not dealing with it properly. I have the support of my partner, which is invaluable, however he hasn't been through this yet so other than being there it's so hard to explain to him. I go through different stages, I'm ok for days then I'm so down. I believe I am just 'functioning' on a day to day basis as it's the only way to get through the days but the grief just comes from nowhere and it's like the breath is taken away from you. I lost my Dad to Leukeamia, I didn't know he was terminal. I think he knew but thought he had a bit longer.
Today is a bad day, which is how I found your post, and after reading it it has made me think that maybe sharing this will help. Maybe talking to people in the same situation is the best thing as it's only us that truly understand that feeling. Please don't feel obliged to reply, I feel like I've just off loaded and not advised but I'm here if you do
