my dad pass away yesterday 8.10am, after caring for him for weeks and even though I was here with him. I’m absolutely devastated, I really thought there would be some sort of relief, but there isn’t! I’m just empty. The impending organisation of everything and even going back to my own home today is filling me with dread. I told him on Sunday to let go as he was unconscious for 2 days, I now feel guilty as as though I’ve wished him away.

thanks to those that took the time to respond to previous threads

    so very sorry for your loss  ive not got to this point yet with my mum but know its comming soon

    how your feeling sounds completely understandable to me just take time to let it all sink in x 

  • I am so sorry for what you are going through, my dad also passed away just over a month ago and I too after 3 nights of him being unconscious told him he could go. I know you feel empty right now and not at all the way you thought you would but for me that has changed, take time for a minute for yourself before the craziness of the planning takes over. I couldn’t stop straight after but luckily my network of family and friends made me and I needed it more than I knew. 

    And I can only say once you’ve rested take every moment in, say goodbye properly and after if you need to talk to anyone I’m about. 

    Wishing you everything for this terribly hard journey. 

    All my love to you and yours x
