Lost my dad this morning

My name is Joe, and yesterday morning at 6.15 I lost my dad to terminal lung cancer which spread to his brain. It’s probably been the toughest few weeks of my life, seeing my dad become weaker, and lose the ability to communicate. He even missed out on eating and drinking towards the end. I can’t even begin to describe how devestated I am feeling, and I just feel like I’m in a very dark place at this moment. When will I start to pull myself out from this horrible place? I need to be strong for my mum but I just feel exhausted. Please someone give me some advice.
