Can’t close my eyes : I lost my dad today

I lost my dad today. He was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in October and told it had spread to the brain beginning of June. 

 

I don't want to close my eyes. It wasn't peaceful like I had read. It was as if he was drowning, continuously gasping for air. I'm so worried that he was in pain but we didn't know. 

 

I'm so scared that he is by himself all alone now too. We have been by his side for the last 8 weeks.

 

i feel absolutely heartbroken
