Losing your father, best friend and super hero.

It has been over a year now since we lost my Dad to cancer. Things do not seem to be getting easier. Although the initial shock has gone, I still feel the very real pain of losing my best friend.

 

I know I need to accept that this is just the way life is going to be from now on. My life isn't going to be as good as it could have been. Every good day has a dark cloud.

 

Does anyone have any advice on how to come to terms with losing someone so close to you? I know there must be a way somehow, I am sick of feeling like this. And I know my Dad would be angry with me for feeling like this too.

 

Thank you all in advance.

    Hi there,

    sorry to hear about your loss. I too lost my precious son only couple of weeks ago. This lethal pancreatic cancer took him away. There was no sign and symptoms, he was eating healthy, exercising an hour everyday, working full time. Only two weeks history of back pain, one week of shortness of breath and palpitation, fourth week he was admitted to hospital right after a week my Sunny died in my arm. He was so strong and positive, kept telling me I'll fight for it even if it's cancer. 

    we were living together, my daughter moved to Scotland last year with her boyfriend. My son was my best friend, we shared music, cooking, we use to take turn in travelling as we both love travelling around the world. 
    he was kind and gentle person, health conscious, no alcohol, no cigarettes, no fizzy drinks. I'm still in state of shock that my child has taken away so sudden so young.

    im waiting for counselling from cruise bereavement support, as I'm in such a unbearable pain, finding difficult to cope. Please ring cruise bereavement support or helpline. They're supportive.

    i know only the people who lost their loved one knows the feelings and pain.

    look after yourself
