Hello
First, sorry for your loss and I feel compassion.
Im Emily I’m single parent to 11 year old . My Dad and my mum helped support me and was very close to my Dad. We saw eachother at least every other day. My daughter love him and I also.
My Dad had prostate cancer which was hard enough. A few years ago he went through all treatment. Hello then went back after having bone pain last June. After MRI scan they discovered cancer spread liver and bones. I was I. Denial couldn’t believe it. I try help from June to July 28 saw him deteriorate over a few weeks at home with mum. Was so traumatic although he was at peace. Hello had terminal agitation for about ten minutes then died. I saw him at home just after he had passed. It was the most awful. I found cremation awful couldn’t go to that part. It’s been so hard.
Thanks for listening
Emily

Hi Laura
Thankyou and I’m so sorry about yours.
I hope you are okay and managing ok with holidays it’s very difficult.
It’s really hard isn’t it. I started the holiday Thinking was going finally get a break. He died two weeks into holiday and the funeral a month after. I have been trying be strong person for everyone. I had nearly 6 weeks alone with my Daughter and constantly needing me alot.I have never felt so much stress ever. Hardly had a chance to do anything for myself for the entire holiday. Just got away for 1 night finally.I only think I come terms with reality of it. It’s such a shock and so incredibly missed
Trust your okay
Take care
Emily
Oh Emily
I can relate to your words and I am so sorry you’ve been going through this too
My Dad died on the last day of school
So as we were getting ready for the leavers assembly the call came, your Dad is not breathing get here quick.
From that day a blur.
I am lucky to have support at home with the kids so I have the utmost respect for you dealing with things on your own. I am glad you got a night away.
When I was finally alone last week, my world caved in a bit.
Keeping things level for the kids has been hard but they have lost too,
Please take care and each day whether good or bad know you are thought of.
Hi Laura
Oh that’s awful, its such awful thing to happen. I can understand just leaving school having most awful news. Words cannot really say enough. My daughter is heartbroken I feel so sad and guilty at times like I should have protected her or something which is silly in reality we can only do so much.
I’m glad you have support. I have had some just been rather difficult in a new area not knowing anyone. You manage somehow I suppose.
Thankyou, likewise I empathise and hope and trust you find comfort that your family together heals. Its a strange journey as I don’t think I will ever get over it but learn to live I suppose.
Take Care
Emily
You can only do your best in the moment I think. Then as you say, we can all heal together.
You’ve been doing your best at a time it’s so hard to do that.
Thank you for your messages. I’m here for you.
I hope in your new area you can find some comfort in time. Maybe a local group, gentle steps for you and your Daughter.
Take good care of yourselves
