Its like saying my mam likes cheese, just because she’s passed doesn’t mean she doesn’t like it, that’s how I’m thinking of it now and if in the future I change the way I speak about her, then I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it, hope that makes sense xx

I can understand that about wanting the service to continue on - I am glad I was able to write a eulogy and even if I can’t speak the words the words are written from my heart.

Sending love for tomorrow @magenta. I’ll be thinking of you. I hope it goes smoothly.
We are stronger than we think and it will probably go quickly. Cry and take all the hugs. Share the beautiful memories. I hope you have support.
My dad’s funeral is in two weeks 
Take care. X

Thank you so much @RobBeat08 I really appreciate your thoughts. You’re right about being stronger than we think. If I think back to being at the hospital on the worst days of my life and all I endured there, it’s an indicator that I will be able to get through tomorrow.
I’ll be thinking of you in two weeks time, and we’ll keep talking on here too. X

Thanks so much.
You take care too, I hope that you are managing to find some moments to rest and get some sleep. This is such a difficult time. I think this forum is great because we all have a level of understanding, and I don’t feel like I’m burdening anyone by talking about my grief here which is a relief x

I think I will do something simular.
It is a punch in the gut when you see the cards. I’ve started shutting my eyes as I walk past.
Sending hugs to everyone today. X
