my dad died of cancer 4 weeks ago
I wasn’t told until after he died and wasn’t given time to say goodbye until the chapel of rest. I felt like a stranger in the whole process because I wasn’t down as a point of contact. Or next of kin. I lost my dad and it feels like no one recognised he was my dad too
Hi Autumn, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad and the circumstances surrounding how you found out, please accept my sincere condolences.
It’s coming up to a year since I lost my dear mum, not from cancer but it was rather sudden. We were called by the hospital that things had turned critical so we did the 2 1/2hr journey down to the hospital.
As I an in the Covid Extremely Clinically Vulnerable group of people who were Shielding I was not allowed in immediately as the consultants were trying to find a safe environment for me to go into to be with her but she passed away rather quickly so was not able to be with her at the end. Hard at the time but it was about my long term health.
I see you have posted in various groups on the Community so you may want to consider our Bereaved family and friends group where you can talk with others walking this journey.
((hugs))
