I lost my dad a little over 2 weeks ago
He was diagnosed with cancer and with in 6 weeks we lost him
We didn’t come to terms with what we was told and now he has gone forever I can never come to terms with that.
I’m trying to be so strong for everyone around me I have siblings much younger then me they need me and I can not help them 
I’m struggling and do not know what to do I just want my dad back and struggling to accept that I will never see him again

Hiya
In 2019 my dad was diagnosed with type 4 brain tumours. He died in June 2021 and I have never done to terms with it. I feel like it’s all my fault and life is so difficult without him around.
You are not alone

Hi Kerry,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. It’s truly heartbreaking.
My father passed away one week ago which was only 8 weeks from us finding out that he had cancer.
I don’t have any advice for you as I am struggling to cope with the loss of my own lovely dad.
I just wanted to say that you are not alone. I am tormented with what happened to my dad and I feel utter despair. I wake up sobbing and fall asleep sobbing and despite doing what everyone is telling me (keeping busy) nothing helps to ease the huge empty void that I’ve been left with. I feel constant unease and don’t know how anything will ever be ok again. I feel so lost and alone.
Sending love.
Xx

It’s an awful feeling but it does get better over time. You will always miss him and maybe blame yourself for things but you learn to live with it I guess

My dad died 18th December 2021 and I’m really struggling. There is no time limit on how you must feel it comes in waves from my experience. The feeling of needing to be strong and put a brave face on I feel helps for a certain amount of time but isn’t the answer. It was your dad and a now you feel lost and empty he’s no longer here. It’s normal. The feeling of wanting him back is normal. I say all the time I want my dad back. Over the past year as much it hurts and I’ve felt a rollercoaster of emotions you ride them the best you can. It’s so hard loosing a parent and the feeling is totally overwhelming. Be kind to yourself . Sending you lots of love

What coping mechanisms have helped you? How have you been able to deal with his death? Because I don’t know how to deal with it
I have had to seek help from my gp I can not sleep or function correctly I’m physically and emotionally drained
I can not remember the last time I slept for a full night I fall to sleep but always wake crying I have dreams quite often seeing dad going through the different stages during his illness it’s truly heart wrenching.
I have found writing what I’m feeling helps I write about the good times we had what our daily conversation would have been on that particular day, we had daily phone calls when he was with us.
I’m not much of a talker I try to do it alone with out putting pressure onto my family who are also grieving but I’m now learning it’s okay to let others know I also need to grieve and have support.
Sending all my support to you all we can get through difficult times together x
