Well here we are again, yet another thread. I am worried about the big tree by my mums grave. I would be horrified if mums stone was smashed, and my sisters too come to that as they are side by side.

mumslife and littlepink and everyone who has recently joined the thread, Thanks for you all, its such a hard thing to process, try to be kind to yourselves and take it one step at a time xx

Laymedown, I understand your feeling but watching my dad suffer for 12 months was torture.he was fully aware he was dying, he was sad, depressed, in pain. Yes we gas te but it was bittersweet time, nothing was lighthearted or fun, and nothing prepares you for losing a parent, not even time. It's going into the seventh month now and I am so low, his absence is so painful. I can't imagine at this point ever getting over it.

girls, I'm so sorry, I feel for you all, its so so hard, I know.....I'm more than 2 years down the line and I sat on my steps crying today....at least we can support each other here xxxx

candykane25 · 06/04/2015 22:01

We can, and I also feel just asuch for those who lost people suddenly, the shock must be traumatic. I think I just wanted to point out terminal illness isn't like a movie where there are heartfelt special moments, it's most sent dealing with medical crisises and stress for all concerned. And the end result is the same, grief.
Polluting my heart out here keeps me going, thank you to all that listen, and I listen to all of you too x
Ssd, big hug x

candykane25 · 06/04/2015 22:05

Pouring not polluting! I swear, my phone is very misbehaved, apologies for all the errors!

A message to my mum who died 14 years ago on April 4th, I have never really grieved for you. I know we didn't always see eye to eye but you did so much for me and the rest of the family. Your life was one of huge self sacrifice. Your life came to an end when my brother died and I understand why. I miss you.
Love and best wishes to all posters who are grieving the loss of parents.

PuddingandPie1 · 07/04/2015 15:03

Derxa - Like you my Mother's life effectively came to end when my twin died. She was restless and sad from that day on and she became increasingly emotionally distant from the rest of us who were more able to "move on". Divorce followed by geographical separation followed.

derxa · 07/04/2015 15:44

Pudding How old was your twin when she/he died? The death of a child must be unbearable and it seemed my family were no comfort to her.

PuddingandPie1 · 07/04/2015 16:36

Stephen was 10 when he died - an asthma attack on the way from school 50+ years ago.

candykane25 · 07/04/2015 20:25

Pudding and derxa, thinking of you both. Xx

mummylin2495 · 07/04/2015 22:19

Such a sad time for you T I expect you have been reliving the day as we all do.
I am sad to see so many new posters, it means more grieving families.
pudding my sister died of an asthma attack aged 26.
I am getting slowly back to normal, I can't believe how wiped out I have felt, still very tired but otherwise not too bad.
Hope everyone else is doing ok and just taking each day as it comes.in my thoughts all Thanks

Good old autocorrect t875!

Hope everyone is doing ok. 2 months today since dad died, and 2 months till DC2 is due... thats it really, just marking the date not that I'm thinking about dad or the new baby. Im normally so bad at putting things out of my mind but these two things i seem to be able to do with no trouble. Don't think my brain can cope!!

Can I join in?
I lost my Dad on Sunday. He was just 56.Sad

supermariossister · 10/04/2015 20:16

Sorry you are joining us, there is always someone to chat to here. Would you like to tell us about him.

found a note ds had written today that said he is so sad and lonely since nanna died and that he wished she didn't have to die and could see him all the time, it then said if I could go to heaven one day and see my nanna I would be so grateful. Sad

starfish12 · 10/04/2015 22:02

Flowers for you personalclown, so sorry for your loss. 56 is very young. We're all here to listen...

Sms - how heartbreaking for you to find your son's note. Bless him. What a great way to express his feelings instead of bottling them up, shows real maturity. Its sad enough feeling your own pain, never mind your children's i imagine...

My boy is only 18 months, he says 'dandad' to every older man in glasses now, i keep thinking hes wondering where his grandad is. (He said it to a lady today who looked rather masculine tho which made me smile!!)

candykane25 · 10/04/2015 22:38

Mumslife it took me about three months or so tomatoe reliving the end constantly. I think it is part of the processing we have to go through.

PersonalClown, I am so sorry. 56 is too young. We are here.
