Not sure how to be

Offline Niamh2016 over 5 years ago

My dad died on Monday from lung cancer with metastasis to spine and liver and fibrosis.

What is causing me distress is that im feeling okay today after 3 days. I expected to loose the plot as the last 5 months have been hell. I adored my dad and we were very close. If im honest I seem not sure I accept he's died even though I watched him take his last breath and have been to see him in the mortuary today. It's very bizarre and surreal

Completely know where you are right now Niamh, I think after all that suffering its firstly a relief they are not suffering and then it takes a while to comprehend they are gone. Don't freak out that your not feeling overly emotional but ensure you still take the time to talk about how you feel as it maybe you still need lots of support ok :)
