  • I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my Dad recently too. It’s just awful. You should find plenty of resources here, and hopefully simply knowing that you are not alone will help. Do come back and talk some more if you feel it might help. Wishing you all the best, and I hope your Dad’s funeral is as manageable as possible.

  • Hi Nathcalnic3,

    I am so sorry for your loss, I can understand some of how you must be feeling,nothing prepares you for the level of grief. I lost my mum last September and so, very much further ahead on my journey. It is very hard, I won't lie, your family will probably be the only people that will have a true understanding of how you're feeling. I haven't got words of wisdom, only to say it's a day at a time, sometimes an hour at a time, that's all you can do at the moment. 

    I found/find this forum helpful, just knowing that people would understand. 

    Thinking of you at this difficult time.
