It's been a couple of months since Dad died and I thought I'd pop on and say I'm still sane but struggling.

The daftest things set me off like Jaffa Cakes, loud and colourful ties, the song Mustang Sally, gin n tonics! Everyone keeps saying it gets easier but can't say time is healing at the moment, just seems to be getting worse, like he'll appear in the door one day like nothing ever happened.

Everyone tells me how strong and brave I am... I'm not I'm just trying to get back to something that is normal. Need a break from work now, need some breathing space... one 1 more week n got some time off.

Deep breath and keep going x

Hi Holly,

Keep going for that one more week and you will have your deserved break. People are very good at giving advice. Your mind and your body will tell you when you need a holiday. So in a week you go and do what feel like doing. All the best and Good Luck.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

Dear Holly, Struggling is fine, crying over Jaffa cakes is fine - how you grieve is very personal and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Ties can set me off too- my step dad had almost 100 in his collection and his love of ties was a family joke. I really hope you enjoy your holiday - look after yourself, Val X

Hi Holly, it is nearly four months since my dad and it is not getting any easier for me either. If anything it is getting harder. It is only really hitting me now and even then it's in bits and pieces. I miss dad so much and that gets more and more as time goes on.

I wish you all the very best and hope you have a nice holiday from work.

Best wishes, Christine xx
