My dad passed away after being admitted to hospital with unrelated complications. His passing was traumatic and the coroner conducted a post mortem. I saw my dad an hour after he passed and due to see him today at the chapel of rest. It’s been 5 weeks. I’ve not had time to speak privately to him and say goodbye. I felt at times distant and alone from family members. Feel like a stranger to them. I’m really anxious about seeing them at the funeral. I just wish he passed peacefully and worry how he felt at the end? I worry he was in pain, the last time I saw him he said go away. He very private man and didt like fuss. previous visits at hospital we had good chats. I’m really down and tearful. I feel sad that I didn’t achieve like my sisters. I worry I disappointed him and I’m trying hard now. Feels to late. Any advice would be comforting xx
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad, @BeaSarah86. I hope that seeing him today can help you get that private time you need to say goodbye.
I just wanted to give your thread a gentle bump as can see you posted in the early hours - I’m sure someone will be along to share their thoughts.

I saw my dad in the chapel rest a few weeks ago. I’m very glad I did it, and spent an hour chatting to him, reading a book and played a video of him. I cried a lot, which I expected to ,of course. He looked the same but different which I didn’t really expect. But it gave me some peace seeing him. I hope it went well today and it helped you in some way.
