I'm really,  really,  struggling  with the thought of dad's funeral tomorrow.  I just don't want to say goodbye to him for the last time.

Today is the last day his body will be here on earth and in one piece.

I don't think I can bear the pain. I still can't talk about him without crying.  How am I going to get through him and make him proud.  

  • Hi Diane DB welcome to the forum and I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of a beloved Dad. Its amazing what strength you will have to get you through this day even though you think you wont. Its ok to cry as well and its ok to talk about your Dad and remember him in whatever way feels right for you. 

    Sending some huge big hugs your way for now and will be thinking of you.x

  • Hello.

    The funeral was actually very lovely thank you. I managed to read the poem,  although it was hard to see the words through my tears. I'm glad I did it though. 

    There weren't many people there, but those who were were very close family and friends. 

    I now feel a weird sense of sadness, but calmness too. I'm returning to work on Monday,  think I need some structure and distraction. 

    Thank you for thinking of me.  Xxx
