sorting things out

Less than one minute read time.

Feels like the past few days have just been a constant list of to-do's, speaking to DWP, bank, housing association, funeral director...  Friends have been fantastic - sadly for them, I have a number of friends who have been in the same position, so they know how hard this is.  Feeling a bit lost now - saw or spoke to my Dad every day, and now just have the pictures (which are happy pictures at least), and I still talk to his pictures, but they can't give you a hug.  Working up to the funeral on Friday...

    Flo,

    I'm so sorry for your loss.  Gary left me on 17-12-2010.  I did all the most urgent things like arranging the funeral and dealing with urgent notifiications to DWP, bank and occupational pension people in a daze of numbness.

    Now, one month on, the shock is wearing off and grief is setting in with a vengeance.  I just go from day to day, each day setting myself a target of completing the most important job and any others that I can manage.  I find having some sort of structure, however loose to mly day helps.

    Looking back, the last four weeks are a blur, but, unbelievable as it seems somehow i have survived this far.

    Wishing you stregnth to celebrate our dad's life and achievements on Friday.

    Daffie
