Dad passed away

Hi Leer1975 welcome to the forum and  I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Its  very early days for you all and the funeral is a time to say goodbyes. It will still feel a bit unreal for you for sometime yet. 

I can empathise with a lot of what you are feeling as my dad died after a very short illness in May this year and there is not a day goes by that I dont think of him or miss him. Its ok to talk to your dad I still talk with mine and what I would give to hear him answer me.

Thinking of you and sending some huge big hugs your way for now. xxx

Hi Leer1975

my dad also passed on 19th November after being diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in April.

we held his funeral on 29th November and since then the days seem to be getting harder. I have his ashes at home and speak to him every day, it still not sunk in that he’s gone. I long so much to see him on the settee when I pop into mams. I am dreading Xmas this year but have to keep going for my two children.

my thoughts are with you at this difficult time

Hi Minnie2011

Im so sorry for your loss too, what a sad day the 19th November was and everyday since. I too have 2 children who we have to pull Xmas off for, I'm dreading it and even now when I'm out and about it makes me so sad seeing people happily Xmas shopping when I feel so awful.

I'm going to the funeral directors today to pick up his ashes. I've bought myself and my mam a keepsake urn so we can each have some of his ashes at home. I also have bought a keepsake necklace for myself to put a small token of ashes in for me. I'm hoping I will feel some relief when he's back home.

It's all so raw and the time of year doesn't help. The kids are a distraction though and I'm glad of that or I don't know how I'd cope. 

Thinking of you and your family and hope the Xmas period is not too sad for you, we just have to do one day at a time. Take care xx
