My Mum died last week. She and my Dad were together for 53 Years. A real life Romeo and Juliet. So much love. My poor dad is lost. My Mum did everything for him whilst he worked hard all his life. I’m scared for him. He doesn’t want to be here without her. We’re doing everything possible to support him but I don’t know what else to do. They lost their daughter, my little sister, just last year. Its all just sadness and pain
Hello @Bigsister1 ,
I’m so sorry to hear about your mum and sister. It sounds as though things are very difficult for you at the moment as you are trying to support your dad while you are also grieving.
I’m glad that you’ve been able to share how you are feeling here and I hope that you find the community a good source of support. Everyone here has experienced the loss of a loved one and will understand some of what you are going through.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that may help you and your dad right now.
