I’m so sorry for your loss @Kathy49 , your Dad just two years ago and then your mother in law only a few days ago, such a lot to cope with.
It’s so hard when new family members come into the world and our special people that we have lost don’t get to meet them. It’s bitterly unfair. Sending you big hugs and solidarity.
Thank you i just feel sad most of the time i just wish i could have just one more day to tell him all about think that are going on in my life i wish i had been there when he died i had left him because i had to go to work but was going back after work but he passed away before i got back
That’s so hard. I really relate to the wish to talk to your Dad and tell him all about what’s going on in your life.
I don’t know the circumstances of your Dad’s passing, but I have heard of people saying that sometimes people let go when their loved ones are not there, like they are ‘sparing’ them from seeing them pass. But I understand that you did want to be there, and so that’s a hard thing to have to hold. It was ambiguous at what precise point my Dad died, and I do find that difficult, but equally I feel like because he wasn’t conscious then he would have passed peacefully and not been aware, so that has a crumb of comfort.
Sadness is there with us, two years is so short, I’ve heard from people who are further on in their journey that the grief stays the same but that you grow around it and find more opportunity to feel emotions like joy and calmness xxx
