I'm new to here, just joined. I lost my daddy on the 9th of March this year to Cancer. I'm normally a strong person but I can't do it. I don't know what to do. I lost my mum 6 years ago to Cancer, I'm currently not well and getting tests done, had an MRI last week. Never had panic attacks, first one was when my dad passed, then another one by myself and then was nearly going to have another in my MRI scan, felt shite all day in my chest as I stopped it from happening. My dad was my hero, miss him so much. I'm looking for help, how did you move on? What helped you? X
Hi. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I lost my Dad in January 2022 to lung cancer. The pain doesn't disappear but gets easier to deal with. I think of Dad every single day but now it is easier to remember happy times and smile. I will always miss him and wish he was still here but I can appreciate how lucky I was to have such a wonderful dad. Thinking of you, I know it is hard x
Thank you for your reply. Friday was a really bad day for me, had my husband all weekend and my sister is coming over today. I have way to much time to think about things when I'm by my self. I'm trying to stay strong for my family. We are moving and I'm currently ill and it all got to me on Friday. Just taking each day as it comes. Thanks again for reply and taking your time to speak with me. X
Hi, how are you feeling? I am so sorry for everything you have been through, just because you went through the loss of one parent doesn't mean that you should be able to cope now. I lost my father and brother 10 years ago and my mum last week and I'm not coping, nothing is ever going to be the same. Cancer is cruel. I hope you have someone x
I'm sorry to hear you're ill. I imagine it would just make everything even worse not having your Dad as support. I understand what you mean about being alone. I did much better being distracted. My son was only 18 months old when my Dad died, so I had no choice but to get on with it. I have no idea how I might have been otherwise. I hope your move is going as well as it can!
I feel losing my dad has been different, like I've lost me. I was lost when my mum passed, but had my daddy and baby sister to keep me going, went in to protection mode, sorting everything out, etc... I was definitely a daddies girl, he was just my hero, always knew what to say and gave the best advice. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, sending over big cuddles. Xox
Sorry to hear about your loss of your dad. I do feel the move and renovations are keeping me going. Friday was a really bad day for me. I don't mind the crying as sometimes it's nice to have a blow out, but it's the heart break and crying so much I'm sick. Joining these chats on Friday really did help me, and kind people like yourself telling your stories. I think maybe it's just knowing I'm not alone in my feelings. I try and stay strong for the people around me. Hope you and the family are well. X
