anyone is grieving for a parent

[2shoes]

I know there is an existing thread where lots of lovely people have supported each other through what is a horrid time, but as I come up to the 2nd Christmas without my dear old Dad and SM, I would like to somehow move on and I suppose help others through this as well as helping myself.
(hope that doesn't sound crap)
so a bit of background
My mum died when I was 18 after years of ill health.
so I got a SM.
we weren't close close but got on well.
she became ill and died a 1 1/2 years ago, then my darling Dad got ill.
he died 6 months(or there abouts later)
I miss him every day.
and thank the lovely Mumsnetters who have helped me through this.
but i can't post on the old thread,
it takes me right back there, so I am hopig a new thread, will get us all talking and allow new posters to join in.........

Biscuits thankyou for your post.I understand exactly what you mean about having a headstone and somewhere to go.My mum is buried next to my sister so when i go there i have a little chat to both of them whilst i see to their flowers.It does bring some comfort.
Empusa How sad that your mum missed the birth of her first grandchild.I think i have said earlier on this thread that my sister gave birth to twins 16 weeks after mum died,But at least she did see all her other grandchildren.Im sure your little boy will bring some comfort to your dad .
krispycakehead can i ask you how you coped on the first anniverary of your dad's death.I am dreading it and fear that i will completely lose the plot that day.Yes it hurts like hell dosent it.
Take care all , im sure somehow we will all get the strength to get through all of this.x
