Dad, I miss you

Hi

So sorry to hear that you have the added stress of your mum being ill when you and your family are still grieving the loss of your father. I send you my thoughts and hopes that your mum gets a good outcome from her tests. 

Cancer is such a cruel disease that robs us of our loved ones. It seems so horribly unfair when it hits the same families again. 

In recent years I have lost my mother in law, an uncle ... then both my parents were taken exactly one year apart. The most recent loss to the sh*te that is cancer being my beloved husband at the relatively youngish age of 54.

It is good that you are remembering the happy times that you shared with your dad. The pain of losing someone never goes away but we do learn to live with our grief and cope with the 'special' days such as birthdays, father's day etc 

Take time to mark the day in any way you feel is appropriate for you: light a candle, visit a church, a memorable place or simply sit in the garden, listen to a particular song, cry if it helps.... 

We learn to cope because we have to and we know our loved ones would want us to not allow ourselves to become over-burdened with grief.

Take care and I wish you well 

Mym x

Thank you for those lovely words. Appreciated. And I am so very sorry to hear about your own losses. ️

I’m so sorry for your loss, I lost my dad to oesophageal cancer this year. And I don’t know how I get through each day,  I miss him so much. 
im also dreading Father’s Day this year. I just want to sleep the day away. I feel so angry at the world for taking my dad, 

people say it gets easier, but I’m yet to feel that yet. 

I hope your mum is ok x
