I sadly lost my Father on the 30th December to pancreatic cancer. We only had 2 months with him after diagnosis.

im heartbroken, I am either angry, upset or crying. I can’t find the strength to even look after my two kids. I am trying to be strong for my mum who has lost her lifetime partner, but it’s proving very difficult. 
my Father was such a kind man, we’ve received 1000s of messages from friends and family telling us stories of how great he was. Why was someone so great taken away? 
how do you ever get over this? How will I ever cope with not having a dad? 

  • Hi daughter and mum of 2 , 

    I have total sympathy with how you feel . I lost my dad at the end of June and I feel exactly the same as you . Out of all the emotions I have been through I now mostly feel anger at having my dad taken away from me . I found it difficult to talk to my mum about how I feel so just like you I wrote a post on here to vent what I was feeling . I’m going to book some bereavement counselling as I think venting to someone who doesn’t know me will be a good option ( I’ve never had counselling before so I may be wrong ) everything else I have tried doesn’t make me feel. Any better . I hope you find the strength to get through this  bit as everyone keeps saying to me it takes time x

    sending hugs xx

  • I know this feeling all too well!! Over a year and still feel these feelings. You have good days and bad days as time goes on but for me it’s more bad than good but we keep going if for nothing else but the memory of them! Message me if you would like to talk to someone who understands xx
