Sorry June 
. I don’t know how long Cruse have said you’ll wait for, but I couldn’t wait. It’s been 5 months and they said it was a 3-4 month wait. Does your place of employment offer counselling? It took me 2 working days to get mine through work.
Are you sure your dad wants you to be strong for him.? He may be happier caring for you as well, sharing grieving, talking, hugging, crying, etc. You need to get through your grief as well
He loves you, and that’s what people want to do
Recover together?
