Hi Diane DB
I'm so sorry for your recent loss and it's normal to be missing your dad.
As you know, the online community is divided into different support groups so I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you join the bereaved family and friends group where you'll connect directly with others who have lost a loved one to cancer.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

I do feel for you. Grief really can be a raw emotion.
I spoke at my Dad's funeral and it helped that I had someone else primed to step in if I couldn't get through it. Someone also reminded me how much all the people listening would be upholding me.
I realised after it's not like a job interview or a TV event. It's an occasion where emotions happy or sad are what it's all about.
Thinking of you
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
