Just lost my dad

So very sorry for your loss

Hi

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad to Lung Cancer in February, he was diagnosed 7 months previous and the last few weeks were really brutal for him and absolutely heartbreaking to witness him go through that.

I don’t have the answers, all I can say is let yourself feel all the emotions, it’s a road of grief that I personally will never get off but day by day you become slightly stronger. I have 3 children, my 2 eldest were so close to my Dad so I’ve grieved for them also, my baby was only 3 months when we lost him.

I miss him so much, our lives are not the same without him but somehow we all get each other through it, take your time.

I’m so sorry to hear about your dad I wish that I had some wise words but sadly all I can do is say I empathise and hear you. I lost my dad 8 weeks ago to prostate cancer and the feelings of emptiness and loneliness are second of none. We lost my mum suddenly just after dad’s diagnosis in 2019 and dad used to say that, even in a room of hundreds of people he would feel alone. I never quite got it, but I do now. 

This is second time round for me so I do have the ‘benefit’ of knowing that the initial rawness will ease and I will adapt to a new norm. Somehow, with time the pain and grief will become more manageable - though I know it will always be there. I am sure it will be the same for you if it’s any consolation at all. In the meantime I think you just have to be kind to yourself, go through the motions, keep busy and try try try to remember the happier times. Sending hugs xxx

I'm so sorry you've lost your brave dad.  There are no words to make it better, there's no right way to be feeling.  I lost my mum 5 weeks ago and I still feel the same way as you, I would have cared for my mum without hesitation for the rest of my life and been happy to do it as she would have still been here. 

Be kind to yourself and make sure you take time for yourself as well as others because you need it.  

Sending you big hugs and love xxx
