I recently lost my dad. On Friday actually, I don’t really know what to say. I’m just kind of floating through currently, time doesn’t feel real. My whole world crashed around me yet the world around is still carrying on. I’m 26 and my dad is gone, I know I’m lucky to be able to say I had him for 26 years but I also don’t feel very lucky that I only had 26 years with him. Does the emptiness ever go away? Sorry for rambling I just don’t really know how to cope with this.
It’s such a strange feeling i can totally relate. I am 31 but even then i still feel like i didn’t have my dad for long enough. I lost my dad on the 24th november and thought maybe after his funeral ect things would get slightly easier but i still feel so numb and down xx

Hi @Emilyyjean
I just wanted to reach out and say how sorry I am for your loss. I too lost my dad recently and being in my 30s I honestly feel like I’ve been robbed of my time with him, so I can only imagine how you feel being in your 20s.
I am on day 18 since dad died and I still constantly feel tense and like I can’t catch my breath. However, I have found the strength to take small steps and take the dog for a walk or go for a coffee. Just take each day as it comes and don’t expect too much from yourself. I hope you have other family and friends for support.
Take care
Hana

It’s just so strange isn’t it? I fully appreciate that we did have them along time but that truly wasn’t long enough, but then I feel selfish saying that! I’m very sorry for your loss xx

Thank you, I’m very sorry for your loss as-well. I will try to take each day as it comes. Keep doing mundane things! It truly wasn’t long enough I think I’ll always be angry about that. Take care also x
