  • I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and what you have been through vaughan. I can't begin to imagine how tough it must have been, especially being so young at the time, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.

    Many members here have been in the same situation and will understand how difficult it can be to cope with the loss of parent and I'm sure they will be along soon to share their experiences with you. I see you mentioned towards the end of your post that you would like to help others which I think is a lovely gesture vaughan. The best way to do that would be to use the 'search forum' option above to find similar discussions and chat to members there as I'm sure they would love to hear from someone who truly understands what they are going through.

    Post as much as you need to or want to vaughan and remember that any time you want to talk about your dad we're always here to listen.

    Kind Regards,
