My lovely dad was killed in an accident a few days ago with his partner. I am obviously extremely upset and I have gone through shock when I found out. At the moment I feel like the pain hits me in waves. I will be fine, normal, carrying on with things and then it will hit me and I will start crying, feel panic etc. Is this how grief displays itself? I am scared that it is going to suddenly hit me like a terrible thunderstorm that never ends. I feel I am pre-empting something which I am not sure will come. I am sure I am still in a state of shock but the fear of the "thunderstorm" is sort of lurking in my mind, giving me even more fear. I want to be able to know if I will suddenly be hit by this overwhelming grief as I have children and I don't know how I would cope. We have had the funeral already. It is all very surreal, more so because none of this happened in my home country so it all feels very far away but at the same time intensely close.
