My dear dad passed away peacefully in his sleep.after a long drawn out battle with copd.
As a child and young teenager dad was my only parent.
I’m newly bereaved,and only yesterday I was sitting in the funeral directors office making final arrangements.
I have two children with both have additional needs and I am now feeling so guilty that perhaps I could have helped dad more…
The worst thing is I wasn’t by dads side when he died our last meeting together was uncomfortable and awkward…
Little did I know what would happen exactly a week later…
I’m in emotional pain 
and my relationship with my mum is difficult and complicated 
I just wanted to say hello
