Bereavement

Lost my dad early hours this morning. He was 84 and a cantankerous rag.

I'm absolutely overcome with grief. I'm in his house now among all his things and clothes he was using just 4 days ago. Even the skin cream I used to help him put on occasionally. I know it's less than 24 hours but the pain is so immense I don't know how I'm going to get over this.
I was of course very upset when my mum died but this is on another level. One I didn't know existed.
Anyone going through this has my sympathy
I thankfully have my support systems , relatives , neighbours etc who will help with the nightmare world of morgues death certificates and funeral arrangements.
Time heals everything. That may sound hollow but it really does.

Stay strong mate.
 
I lost both my parents over 30 years ago now, both were in their 60‘s when they died. The thing I miss most is not being able to talk to my Mum every day, which I did.
 
I have somehow dragged myself out of bed at my dad's house to come home and watch City v Luton, didn't think I could manage it.
I felt a bit better last night trying to come to terms with everything. I know my dad wouldn't want me to suffer endlessly.
You think no one else is going through this and the universe is picking on you. That's obviously ridiculous. It just feels that way.

My condolences to you. Take it a day at a time, that is all.

so Sorry to hear that. I can assure you things do get a lot better over time.

My dad passed away aged 49. I have never felt so much pain like it, but it does get eventually get better, and I still think about him every single day after 13 years. My biggest regret in my life is never being able to tell him how much he meant to me, because it was so unexpected

Make sure you use the support you have available to you. I was an absolute mess, and the support I had from family and friends is the only way I got through things.

I found that it was much easier to come to terms with after the funeral. It was closure for me.

We’re winning 2-1 at the time of typing so let’s hope for a win at final whistle.
