Hi Georgie,

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.  Unfortunately I am now in a similar position as my dad passed away on 26th June.

Thank you - it would be great to keep in touch on here (via the message thing if you like?) as we are obviously both going through a similar situation.

Hope you are okay and hope to hear from you soon xxx

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, I took a break from this site for a bit :)

Thank you so much for your reply and kind words, I'm getting there slowly, still quite up and down but focusing on the good times we had xxx

Hi Stardust14,

I am so sorry to learn of your Dad's passing - my thoughts are with you and all those that knew and loved him.

Take care. X

Hi Startdust,

We havent spoken for a while. Glad you are concentrating on the good memories you had with your dad for it's what has helped me with the passing of first my mother about ten years ago then my father nearly a year ago. I still miss them both and find it hard not to be able to pick up a phone and talk to them. Perhaps they should install a phone line to heaven; that would be nice.

Take care, sending best wishes and kind thoughts your way, Brian

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your kind words. Me and my mum are battling through it, but although it has been nearly three months since I lost him I don't really feel any different to how I felt three months ago.  I don't feel like I've really started to learn to live with the loss.  I thought that perhaps each day it might get easier, yet I've discovered that I can feel better for a few days/weeks, and then go downhill again. Grief seems a very strange and sporadic thing.

A phone line to heaven sounds lovely, I really miss the sound of his voice and wish I had taken more videos, although watching them would probably make me more sad!

Lovely to hear from you and hope to speak soon :)

Hi dunanat1,
