My Dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer on 20th January this year and he then passed away 17th November (the day after my Birthday). It’s been 4 and a half weeks and I don’t feel like I will ever truly accept my Dad is no longer here. He was the biggest part of my life, and I never imagined at the age of 24 this would be something I would have to deal with. I would never be able to describe my Dad because words would never be able to do him justice. I am now fancing Christmas, and I couldn’t be looking forward to it anyless. I know I have to deal with the fact my Dad will not be there and I’m not sure I have it in me.
Everyone thinks I’m fine, because I put on a brave face, but the truth is I’m not even close to being fine - I’m abel to put on a brave fave because I’m struggling to accept what has happened, and don’t feel like this will ever change.
It feels wrong to say, but I can’t truly say I feel sad. I feel like I’m going to wake up and this will all be a bad dream, or I will leave work tonight, go home and he will be there - just like he always was.
Hi lyndseyanne. My mum died the same day 17th nov. I know how you feel it is truly devastating… i too put in a brave facebut when in my own i am always crying. Hard to believe that person who we lived so much isnt there anymore. Thinking if you x
Thank you - as wrong as it feels to say it’s nice to know you’re not alone in how you’re feeling. Thank you for your message, it means a lot. I’m sorry to hear you’re going through the same though - my thoughts are with you! X
