So very sorry to read about your dear dad, what an awful shock and what a wrench for that to happen in such a short, short time. Nothing can prepare you for losing your parent or your partner. All you can do is be there for your mum, for each other and share how you feel. The loss is still too raw, too close and too real. You will both be in shock, the fragility of life becomes so large and it's hard to understand how life goes on for others whilst you are in so much pain. Grief is painful, grief is real and grief needs to be acknowledged. It's not easy and others will no doubt say the wrong things to you (I Apologise if anything in my post is wrong too) but you can't imagine how it will be until you are going through it. As you both are. There are groups who you can speak to if you feel ready or strong enough, just be there for each other, talk about him, cry, laugh at happy memories when they come to you-and they will in Time. It's a hard time for you both now, you are not alone but you do feel that way. Sending you both hugs and strength . X
