I know how you feel, my dad died 4 weeks ago, on his birthday very suddenly and I am utterly heartbroken. I have so much guilt wondering if I should if made him go to the doctor, even though I joked to him a couple of weeks before he died to get himself a health MOT at his doctors but he told me he was fine. I have so many what ifs, but I know I have to try and find a way to get through this, but it’s tough I hope you have family and friends for support at this difficult time and let’s hope we can both see a way forward look after yourself.
Thankyou yes it is hard but hopefully we will get through it and hope you’ve got support your way to
