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
