My dad passed away 4 weeks ago.
Im struggling to accept he’s gone. I can’t grieve properly for him.
His funeral is on Friday.
I’ve had a lot on for the past few weeks so been on autopilot.
Anyone find they struggle to accept there loved one has gone.

My husband died 7 weeks ago. I still can not accept it. I understand he died, I was there, but the idea that he is never coming back is so earth shattering that I can’t even go there yet.
When a parent dies, there is a loss of unconditional love that you will find no where else and that safety of always having someone who loves you. It is soul crushing. I am truly sorry that your dad died. I know how it hurts, I lost mine 14 years ago and memories bring tears still.
Much love, many strong hugs, and a shoulder to cry on is my wish for you.
