My Loveiy Dad passed away on Wednesday 18th September 2024. He had the best last day going shopping with my Mum and then having a few drinks in the pub with me and tea with me and my children.
I’m devastated he’s gone, I seem to be doing ok but I’m so worried about my Mum! She’s 62,and has been with him since she was 17 he’s all she’s ever known.
Hi Helen
Sorry for the loss of your beloved dad, I lost my beloved sister on that exact same day as well and also worried about my mum and dad too.
I guess we’re both in a similar situation, my condolences go out to you and your family. My mum is similar age as your mum as well and for both our mums, all she needs is you and the rest of the family to be with her as much as possible and keep her occupied and as much time as possible and comfort them and grieve together and not be alone.
Thank you. I’m so sorry for your loss too 
.
It’s so hard to see her so sad, I’m with her every day but worry about her when she goes home to an empty house.
Sending lots of strength to you and your family at this sad time.
Thank you Helen and you too, we’re sending all our strengths to you and your family too. It will be hard but we can hope time will heal for both our losses. Other than keeping close with your mum and always being with her, I hope she can find something or anything to keep her mind occupied and busy during this extremely difficult times but always keep close with her.
But this community shows we’re not alone and to grieve and help each other out coping with the loss of our loved ones and gather together with everyone who has been through the same loss and pain and understanding each other’s stories and struggles.
Thank you. This group is really helping me seeing others that are going through the same horrific thing.
Me and Mum have been out all day today we’ve had a good day with lots of laughs with some cries too.
We’ve both got a couple of weeks left till we go back to work and be part of a “new normal life “.
Hope you’re Mum and Dad are ok loosing a child must be the most horrendous thing to go through.
Take care of yourself and your parents 
Hi Helen,
I understand completely. I lost my wonderful dad in July. My parents were together 57 years. It has been truly torturous to see my mom go through the grief and have to face every day (and night) alone.
I hope it gets better for our moms, and for us. You and your mom are probably still in shock and denial. I know we still are.
Sending you thoughts and prayers.
Jen
Thank you. Sending love to you at this horrible time x
