I lost my dad 42 days ago and I’m struggling so much.
I try and keep myself busy and I’m always the one people lean on to sort things out. But I feel I’m slowly drowning. I was a proper daddy’s girl and Iv never felt pain like this.
I feel everyday I’m just surviving to get through the day and dread waking up the next day just to do it all again. I know it’s still very raw and new but I can’t see a way out of ever feeling like this. The only person I want is my dad. I know I’m pushing everybody around me away.
I’m just at a loss in what to do, what’s right or anything. I don’t look forward in anything anymore. I just want to be at home, with all my memories of my dad.
