My dad died a week ago in hospital. My mum, brother and I were with him from the moment we were told that treatment was being withdrawn. We spoke to him and mum told him how much he was cared about by us. I held his hand for 4 days and told him I loved him. After his death we pulled together and did a good job of organising things. I then came home (4 hours away) to go back to work - they’re wonderful empathetic people. I feel a bit at a loss. I became v upset today when I learnt that his body had been moved to the funeral company. I don’t know why. I also feel bad for feeling bad when my mum is now on her own. I am very like my dad and I miss him already x
Hi Hem welcome to the forum. I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved dad. I think your post gives it away in that you kept yourself busy helping to organise things and that has delayed you maybe grieving for your sad loss. Maybe it's only now that it has hit you and that's OK and I feel sure that the folks at your work will completely understand. Your mum is on her own but living as far away as you do short of moving there is little to be done. She will miss your Dad, I don't doubt that, but she will also understand that you need to be at home and at your job. Sending hugs..
