Well, here is the first of many firsts.

I know from a close friend how difficult the first year is after losing a loved one, Birthday, Christmas, Anniversary - Father's Day.

Mum wanted to mark the day so we planted a tree & had some food, it has been a very sombre day and one that I wont forget in a hurry.

My sister has a sad look in her eyes, Mum is like a lost soul and I am realising all over again that Dad is gone. It's only been 5 months, I know time is a great healer but in the meantime, my fabulous family, friends and boyfriend have been amazing - Thanks to them all

My 5 year old said today not to be sad because she thinks all the daddys are up in heaven having a party and drinking beer lol. Lets hope so. (((hugs)))

Hi Shellebelle

As I sat here sobbing into my glass of wine about my Dad who died less than 2 weeks ago with CUP & secondary bone cancer I came across your Fathers day message. I then saw that your Dad passed away in St Cuthberts Hospice in Durham and so did mine and like you I think they are amazing.

I did the midnight walk last night for them but now im home in London feeling so sad and lonely and wondering if I will ever feel better about losing my lovely Dad.

Im struggling with this website (thought i'd replied but cant see it - is it the wine? or the tears? just wanted to say that I lost my Dad 13 days ago also in St Cuthberts Durham, like yourself.

Will thsi pain ever go away?
