I’ve just lost my dad. I feel so sad and numb at the same time. He died from Pneumonia after being in hospital for 2 months. It’s like I lost him 2 months ago but the pain has just hit. I miss him terribly.
Hi Buster
We are all in the same boat unfortunately, one way or another. Nothing to say that will ease you pain but sending love and hugs to you.
Buster, you are having normal reactions. Sad and numb is pretty much how we are all living. I know that losing a father is most shattering, I feel so very sorry for you. It was the hardest loss of my life, including my mother and husband. My first horrific loss which prepared me for the rest to come, I suppose.
It will get better, I promise. The pain will be bearable and in 18 months you will feel different - never the same as life as you knew it had changed - but you will survive, maybe even thrive again.
Give yourself some time to process this loss, be kind to yourself and when you need to talk, there is always someone here.
Much love.
