I recently lost my dad and i am going through a mixture of emotions, right now it hurts so much, i have two young children who i am trying so hard to be brave for. We have a number of family occasions coming up which i am dreading because it will feel so empty without him not to mention christmas aswel. I know i will get through this, i have to but i feel so lost right now i miss him so much my heart aches.

You have the comfort of your children. It’s a horrible thing grief. Absolutely horrible. But maybe they can be your hope through because of in a way what they are. Children. I wish you the best.

Im so sorry for your loss Zee.After losing my mum nearly 4 years ago, it felt like my world had ended.My family didnt feel like my family because the one person that held us together was gone.Christmas i think, is always going to be tough.It is still tough for me as i spent November to February in 2020 watching my mum get worse and eventually she passed away so i understand how you are feeling.
Just know whatever you are feeling is normal.Your children will help you get through this as i am a mum myself, my son has helped me.Just take it one day at a time or even one hour.Try and remember the good memories you had of your dad if you can.Things will start to get easier as time moves on.
Thank you and yes i know they will hope me get through 
Thank you, thats exactly how i feel about the family. My dad was the rock of the family, his passing was very sudden and completely unexpected which i think has made it harder to accept. I’m sorry for your loss and for the way it happened. You are right about the children, they help you to get through the difficult days.

Thank you.I hope things do get a little easier for you soon.Its such a huge shock to your life when it happens especially suddenly.Its physically and emotionally painful.I felt like the life i knew was gone and i had to find a new normal.
Still trying to find it.
This is a really compassionate and empathetic community,everyone is going through something similar so they understand.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad 18/9/24 aged 64 very suddenly. Life doesn’t feel the same anymore and I miss him so much. I like you have kids and they keep me going. Just take one day at a time. I’m sure your Dad is looking down on you and is proud of how you’re dealing with everything as I hope mine is. Take care xx 
Part of a club nobody wants to be in yeah
