Hi Sazzy,

Welcome to the Sue Ryder Online Community. I’m so sorry to hear that you lost your dad at such a young age. It is natural that you miss him very much.

I’m glad that you have found this site, and I hope it helps a little bit to be able to write things down here. We had another user on here recently called Mark who lost his mum when he was 10 and was looking for other people who’d lost a parent when they were young. You can read and reply to Mark’s post here: https://support.sueryder.org/community/coping-death-loved-one/lost-my-mum-december-1995-when-i-was-10

There is no timeline on grief, and it is not too late to get some support. You could contact your GP about some counselling, or get in touch with Cruse Bereavement 0808 808 1677 or helpline@cruse.org.uk.
