We lost my Dad at the end of May. Being a teacher , I expected to start to properly feel the grieving process once the summer break started. My brother died from suicide a few years ago so I know grief. I just have a desperate need to know both my brother and Dad are together somewhere but all my beliefs are in the air right now . I just feel so sad and empty and sleep is a real struggle . I’m supporting my lovely stepmum as much as I can but it all seems so surreal . Losing a parent for the first time is so hard .

Hello @Carly25,
Thank you for bravely reaching out. I’m so sorry to hear about your dad.
You are not alone. I’m not sure if you’ve seen our Losing a parent category. But there you will find lots other members who will understand some of what you’re going through. @Sara24, @Maggie19738 and @Jess2023 have sadly lost their dads and posted recently in this thread. Maybe you can connect with them:
You might also find our support page on Losing a parent helpful to read as you cope with your grief.
I hope you find the community to be a support to you. Keep reaching out and take care,
Seaneen
