I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. It sounds like things have been really hard.

handle grief as you see fit. it is your grief to deal with. good for you you got a job. if you need grief counseling, it helped me a lot. it is a long road ahead and bumpy. 
I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my dad 5 weeks ago to bowel cancer and i’m struggling to come to terms if it. We had a very close bond and nothing feels the same anymore. Through the grief I’ve mostly felt angry at to why it happened. I saw a post that said if you’re broken from grief then you’ve been loved. That helps me as i know he loved me and I loved him. The grief will just take time and it’s not something we can rush and it will be hard, but having friends and family to support you can make it a little bit easier. xx
Hi Bumblebec. I can certainly relate, I lost my mum in May then was made redundant from my job in August. I know it’s hard but your dad would want you to carry on living and laughing.
