I can't get my head around that my dad is gone.

Hey guys,  I'm only new to this. I recently lost my dad on the 7th of February this year. He was diagnosed with stage 4  bowel cancer  3 years ago which spread to his liver and lungs. He fought the whole 3 years for us all and he never complained once!! He was the best dad and grandad ever !!  The moment I heard the word cancer 3 years ago when he was diagnosed my life literally felt like it was falling down around me , I think I grieved since the day i was told, I could never come to terms with it. 

Now he's gone. I always imagined this day would come and I always said I'm never going to cope without him but here I am doing it and I don't know how.  some days I'm honestly so upset I can't even breathe,  god I miss him so so much the pain is unbearable sometimes what id do to give him a big hug and a kiss.  I look back on our messages we used to send to eachother and my heart literally breaks all over again. It's very hard to get my head around that I will never see him again , someone who I seen everyday for the whole 25 years of my life, I'm the "baby" of the house lol , I was his baby sorry guys I don't know much about this chat I'm just looking for people to talk to that feel the same way because I feel like I'm going mad as nobody around me knows how I feel apart from my family But sometimes I feel like it's too hard for me to talk to them about it as they are trying to cope also

  • Hi C-Brad

    No don’t worry your not burdening me always hear to chat maybe private message .  That’s really quick for the funeral but better of at the moment with this Covid19 going on.  Yes found it extremely hard registering his death as on that same day me and my mother-in-law went to the hospital to collect his wedding ring and opposite the registers office was the funeral directors so did all 3 together.  Was not a nice experience.  I know phoning everyone was hard too having to say there date of birth, I got upset on most of them but the people were very good .  But do this in your own time take big deep breath before .  Time goes by and you will forget these moments .  I still wake up thinking what’s going on is it a dream and why me (us)!  How are your children doing?  How you coping with this covid19 too ?
