Hi @Lou1985

Thank you so much for sharing this with the community :blue_heart: I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I just wanted to let you know that you have been heard and you are not alone.

Take good care,

Sending hugs. :people_hugging: I miss my dad too, more than words can say. If only we could know where they are now and if they are ok.

The first year mark has just passed and my goodness what a whirlwind of emotions. I miss my Pops so much and dreading this Christmas. I don’t think I was really with it last year. I have taken some time off and really tried small steps and self care. I think it’s also validation and that it is what it is and not to feel guilty about feeling so sad and lost. You are not on your own and I think that’s why I’ve joined here.

Just signed up for this reason, thinking about my dad a lot lately, feeling sad; would give anything to be able to say goodbye.

Your not alone chick cx

Me too lovely, as they say, there’s no right or wrong way to grieve; just try not to ‘predict’ a bad Christmas, think about what your dad would want for you a such a special time cx

Hi, I’m really sorry to hear you’re struggling with the loss of your Dad too :heart::pleading_face: I lost my Dad in March, and I don’t think I ever felt true sadness until he passed away.

Maybe you could try writing him a letter? Doesn’t have to be long or in depth, or it could be a whole novel about how much you miss him. Sometimes it can help to write to someone when you can’t talk to them :heart: Although I’m sure if you talk out loud to him, he’ll be listening :white_heart: x

I have written to my mum every day for the last 8 weeks since losing her. I feel it helps a bit with trying to keep her with me as I tell her what’s going on. I also regularly say out loud how much I love her. I have so much love for her and it needs somewhere to go :cry::cry::cry:
