Hi @Tomopvt I’m sorry for your loss and can empathise with you. I lost my beautiful Dad at the end of Oct 24 very suddenly. This site is really helpful but you may need to visit your GP or seek counsellinf to help you through the early days. I have done both and now on antidepressants which I was reluctant to take but it has helped. Semding you strength and hugs x

I lost my dad Nov 23 … it’s been so hard. The constant ache has subsided to intense aches at certain times. He was my best friend and we spoken a couple of times a day. He supported me through my PTSD and panic attacks. Life is hard without him in it.
But as I said above the constant pain does subside somewhat with time x

Hi @Tomopvt
It is really hard collecting the ashes but it sometimes gives you a sense that they are coming home. They are still with us all the time, around us and within us. I hope you are okay. X

I know that feeling @Tomopvt. I miss my Dad every single day. He left us in October 2024. My world has been turned upside down. I do understand.
