My dad has died and I'm due in 3 weeks

[RachelWalsh]

I'm just over 37 weeks pregnant with my second son and my lovely lovely dad died this morning. He had been ill for a long time but the end came very suddenly somehow. I saw him last weekend and we had some nice time together but I just didn't really believe he would die, somehow. I spoke to him on Wednesday, I didn't realise it would be the last time. I don't know how I feel. I wish the baby would come so I had that to focus on and so that I knew he was ok (the baby I mean - I feel generally anxious I think).
I was there when he died, he didn't look like him anymore though he was just... Gone. It's very strange.

I am so very sorry.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad! I can understand wanting something else to focus on, though. I would too. I'm glad you were able to have nice time together before he passed.

Thank you, I don't know what I really want by posting this, I suppose I just want to write it down somewhere.

So very sorry x

so sorry for your loss.xx

I'm sorry Rachael, my dad died 10 weeks ago after a short(ish) but serious illness, we all knew he was going to die. Since then I have become pregnant, and am anxious about the future. It is a really difficult time, not helped by a surge of hormones rushing around your body. Be kind to yourself and your family, and try to look back at the good times with your dad, and forward to the future with your little baby. Easier said than done i know. But you will get through this and I am told, it does start to get easier.

Speak with your dad. I believe my dad can hear me and it makes me feel a bit closer to him.

Oh, so sorry for your loss x

I'm so sorry :( My mum died 2 weeks before DS was born, it's a horrible horrible thing. Try to look after yourself. x

I'm so sorry about your Dad.

Although I'm sure it's not enough, it's good that you have some nice last memories of him.

I know you must be struggling to take things in, but please remember to be gentle and kind to yourself. x

So sorry for your loss. My dad died in Spetember, it's one hell of an emotional rollercoaster.
Just take your time, there are no rules for the feelings that will come. The baby will be a celebration of all the good things your dad left behind.

So so sorry sweetheart. xx

Sorry to hear your dad died. It's very hard to lose a parent.

You must give yourself time to take it in. You probably feel numb just now. Soon you will have your baby to focus on which will help you. Take time when you need it to remember your dad. Get support from friends and other family.

So sorry.
