I've lost my Dad

I lost my Dad 3 weeks ago today. His funeral is on Thursday. He was my best friend. I feel so lost without him. He had leukaemia and the last few months have been heartbreaking watching him suffer. He was diagnosed in Nov and passed away in Jan. I miss him so much. He didn’t deserve this. Watching my mother grieve is breaking my heart x

I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved Dad. I know that nothing I can say will make this easier for you but I wanted to offer my support.

You will likely be emotionally exhausted from the stress of him being so poorly beforehand. Anticipatory grief and then grief is a big shock to the system.

I hope that you and your Mum can comfort each other and remember better, happier times with your Dad. Do reach out to friends, whoever is around you, for help when you need it. Treat yourself kindly, always.

Thinking of you

So sorry for your loss, I’ve just lost my Dad too, his funeral was on the 11th February. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer that had spread to his liver about 18 months ago and was doing well until 3 months ago, when he went downhill very fast, it’s so horrible to watch them suffer :heart: hope you’re doing ok after the funeral x
