Dad's been gone 10 days and I'm really struggling.  I have been so overwhelmed with the desperate need to speak to him today, i needed to hear his voice. I feel like my heart is breaking. 

We started arranging Dad's funeral yesterday,  and are meeting with the celebrant tomorrow,  but I feel it's all too much.

I just don’t know how I'm going to carry on. 

  • So sorry for your loss. I think it is understandable that you feel you are struggling and feeling overwhelmed. Talk to Dad as you need, but I realise you want to hear his voice again and for him to tell you everything will be okay. You might not recognise it but you are a strong person and will be able to keep going. One day at a time. Do you have support from family/ friends who can help with the funeral arrangements? Sending hugs and love to you xx 

  • Thank you for your reply.  What you've said makes a lot of sense. We finalised the service arrangements today, and somewhere for a gathering afterwards.  It still doesn't feel real, not like we're doing it for our dad. X
