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.

Hi yes me to cant still cant believe my dad died a year ago i cant sleep cos i keep thinking about it feel very sad 
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.
