Hi NoName19, I'm so sorry for your loss, and your current turmoil. But when you say you can't grieve, really that's what you are doing. It may feel different to how you thought it would, or how other losses affected you. It's grief all the same.

As someone who worked in critical care, could I say that side rooms are not where patients are put so the nurses can get on with other things. They tend to be allocated to patients where privacy is especially respected, so relatives can have quiet time with them.

I do remember a friend, when he lost his mum, say he wished he wasn't an only child. He felt that his wife at least had her sister to be on the same wavelenght with when they lost their mum. You know what? His wife wished she'd only had herself to consider at that time. It's so hard for everyone, in different ways, to lose someone you love.

Try to take things one step at a time, There's no right or wrong. Your dad knew you loved him., just as he loved you. You can still say it, whenever you want.

regards, gamechanger

Hey

My dad was put on a stroke ward where they couldn't treat him. He should've been in a different hospital completely where we live, where they look after cancer patients. They were "not allowed" to give him the morphine dose he had been taking so he died in pain. The staff were not sympathetic and were rude and very blunt towards our family. I agree he's not in pain now but he could've died without being in pain all together too. 

I guess I'm still in shock and it will come. I just wondered if my reactions have been normal. When I list my grandma, 6 months a go, I cried on and off for weeks. I just can't now. 

Your just worn out luv it your emotionaly exhausted it takes so much out especialy a double loss like that .if you feel the hospital wasnt very good you can complain to the patiant liason service the hospital will give you the number they will investige this for you . But wait till you get your emotional strenght back .i dont know why your poor dad was refused morphine but thinking now they didnt give my liz any but they were realy good .we get angry at everything at times .just wait a while till your feeling better griefs an illness i think and we have to get better and we do but it takes time same with your poor mum i realy sympathise with you .ime not going into detail about my losses but your def not alone on here we understand and feel for you .how is your mum??? she must be in a state as it feels like your life has stopped and your futures just gone .paul

Hi, thank you for your kind words. My mum has put in a very good letter which her gp supported her with. My mum is up and down which I would expect. I am doing all I can to support her and my children. We've planned some nice things to look forward to too. 

I guess it will take me time to adjust too. I'm very sorry for your loss too. 

Thanks i put a thing ahead to look forward to thats the way just to keep yourselves going till you both get stronger .best wishs paul
