Losing my dad 6 weeks ago

I lost my dad 6 weeks ago. He had cancer for a while, but was doing so well with it, it was only the last few months that he got really sick and he couldnt have his last treatment and then was given a week to live. I had to fly from UK to Australia to say goodbye. It hurts so much.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
I may not have lived abroad, but I also suffered a very quick loss of my dad. He had cancer for 2 years but was never ‘ill’ from it so it all seemed to be ok. All of a sudden his treatment stopped agreeing with him and we were told that was it, 6 weeks later he died. In those 6 weeks I saw my dad completely deteriorate, and although I am glad for him and us that it was short, it still hurts. I don’t have the answers on how to get through this, but you are not alone and talking/writing it down really can be the best therapy. Here for you :heart: xx
