I’m really struggling with the fact my dad died

I don't really know where to turn because no one I know has really gone through this yet. 
I lost my dad 2 months ago and it's absolutely destroying me. My dad played both mum and dad and I've lost 2 parents in one and im broken. We spoke and saw each other every single day without fail and im so lonely without him. My heart has broken and I have no one to turn to. Im not depressed but im extremely sad, lonely and my heart has truly shattered. I try and talk to friends and family but they don't understand and I keep getting "I'm always here" and "at least you got to say goodbye". It's like my world has stopped and everyone else's is still going and I feel like whenever I'm around people I instantly drag their mood down. I just genuinely don't know how to cope that he is no longer here

I would like to just thank everyone for their kind words and support, it is very appreciated. I haven't had much time recently to reply but I want you all to know I'm here for you ️  you'll never be alone in the world when people as nice as you lot are here x

    I lost my dad to cancer on the 11th of august 2020, it sucks i still get upset about it to this day, I didnt realise how good of a friend he was till he was gone, I dudnt realise how much he meant to me till he was gine either, but every day hes in my mind and as time goes on the memories make me smile because I realise how lucky I was to have such a great man as a father and role model, I try my best to make him proud even though i know ue always was because he told me and thats something I will always remember. My advice to you is try and do the things you and him did  together, It does suck hes no longer there to enjoy it with you but in his memory its a nice gesture and just remember he wouldnt want you being so down about his passing l, he would want you to flourish and enjoy life, live your dreams and acheive everything you want to, because thats what he would want
