Lost my dear dad

My dear dad died over a year ago and every day is like wading through treacle one step forward 2 steps behind and i get this overwhelming feeling of such sadness it almost makes me choke . Life is just not the same any more, so much pain it really hurts like my soul is on fire something went in me the second my dear dad passed.

My family are not much for talking about dad passing, my mum listens to me as i listen to her and that’s OK, and I’m happy with that, but the rest do not say much i honestly thought that with dad passing we would all get closer as a family which dad would have been happy about but no it didn’t work that way which i find rather sad .but hey ho on i go.:grinning_face:
