[nandodo]

I lost my dad in march and it would have been his 70th today. I went to his house and looked through the window and felt so sad as there are stll lots of his things there. He always had big birthday parties and this one would have been massive. Put flowers on his grave whilst sobbing - phew i feel so sad. i suppose its all part of grief and important to feel and acknowledge it as my usual life is so busy that i don't think about him often - too painfull. I feel very subdued.

. Not sure what to say, I'm crap at this sort of thing. My dad died in June and I've not really had time to think about it as I'm so busy.

Have you had any bereavement counselling? I started yesterday, want to get it all out of my system.

Thanks. No, i havn'y had counselling - was offered it but didn't take it because the loss was so recent but i think i will go back to dr. I think i will just have to ride the waves for now.

My mum died in January so I am still going through my "firsts" it is all hard. She died the day after my birthday so I am dreading those two days and Xmas and New Year just before.

nandodo, so sorry for your loss. My Dad died in July and it's so bloody hard. Everytime I think the pain is getting easier, something (or sometimes nothing) happens to punch me in the stomach.

Just a hug for you, and a cheers to your Dad. x

Sorry for your loss nandodo. I lost my dad 6 months ago and we've just sold his house - it's going to be very difficult handing over the keys.

Sorry to everyone who has lost someone recently. Hormonesnomore selling the house clearing and handing over the keys are all hard, we have just done it and it was the family home for 46 years but I am finding it ever so slightly easier not having to go back to the house (but only if I don't think about it), DD1 wanted to keep the house, not to live in but to remember her Gran
