I lost my dad to lung cancer in December of last year he was diagnosed in the October but deteriorated quickly which was painful to see dad and I lived together and we have no other family I wasn’t prepared to lose him so quickly last month I scattered some of his ashes in Llandudno where we used to visit on trips he loved the seaside walking up to the pier i got really upset it was the first time with out him I felt so lonely the next day I didn’t want to get out of bed I felt so lonely as I am writing this I am crying I have good friends but that doesn’t stop me feeling lonely I am grateful that I work as it gets me out and talking to people
