How is everyone?

Hi Essex1,

Sorry to hear that you aren't having a good day. Celebrations are going to be so hard aren't they. I already find myself thinking about what Christmas is going to be like.

I know it's cliche and everyone says it, but your dad would so want you all to have a nice time. He is still there with you in spirit and in your heart.

I know it's so hard to enjoy things though isn't it. It's that feeling of emptiness that really gets to me.

Please don't feel guilty about your daughter. I'm sure she would completely understand and myst also be feeling the sadness of loosing her grandad. Could you maybe talk to her about how you are feeling?

I'm finding things are feeling a bit harder lately. I don't know if it's because it is sinking in more that my dad is gone. I'm feeling more angry as well as I just want him back so badly, but obviously nothing can make that happen.

I'm finding it quite difficult when people mention their dad's and I think that I dont have that anymore. Even watching the Simpsons the other day made me sad as seeing their family dynamic and thinking that my dad is gone. I know that seems silly.

It's all so hard and unfair, but I'm so glad we can all take to and support each other on here. x

Hi,

Nice to hear from you. It’s so very hard, I’m too also angry that he isn’t here, and I think he will never be here so how can I ever feel better? 

My Dad for certain would want my daughter to celebrate turning 13, I know that, but I just wish her was here to see her turn 13 she understands it’s hard for us all and like you say, my children too have lost their wonderful Grandad.

How is your Mum doing also? I hope this can ease for us all.
