  • Hi, I am so sorry. Everyone here has went through it and all totally understand what you are going through. I lost dad last September, by the end he had been through so much he just kept asking me why he couldn't just slip away. It totally broke my heart. I still miss him every single day and my mum isn't coping, she is giving up. They were together from the age of 20 and dad was 84 when he passed away so she doesn't know any other way to live. He would want her to carry on but she just longs to be with him. It breaks my heart. I can only say to you take one day at a time, you'll have a lot of bad days and then bit by bit nicer times will start to creep in. There will still be days you will feel the hurt and long to see him, i do that quite often, even on Saturday i sat in my car at the cemetry and broke my heart, i just thought if I could just hug you once more. All these feelings are totally understandable. On the other hand some days I sti with my kids and we talk about papa and how silly he was with them making them laugh and carrying on with them and it makes me think about happier times. It will ease a bit over time but honestly give yourself time and take it day by day x
