2 days since my dad died

[Fooso]

My wonderful dad died suddenly on Thursday morning. He had never been in hospital and rarely ill, though he had been feeling a little under the weather recently. my siblings and his grandchildren are devastated.. how will I ever get over this? someone tell me it gets better x

I'm sorry, that is sad. It takes a long time to process losing someone suddenly. My Dad died 3 years ago it was not sudden but was traumatic and I miss him every day. It does get better, you learn to deal with your grief and I can think about him and feel happy now. Your grief is very raw and you must still be in shock. I found a lot of help from posters on here who had been through similar situations. Be easy on yourself.

I'm so sorry Fooso.

My dad died suddenly 14 years ago. It was a tremendous shock and I felt lost for a long time.
It does change and life does go on. Just differently. Some days are easier than others. You need to be taking care of you at first. If you feel like it then Cruse are very good at couselling but it can be a bit of a wait.

Don't be scared to ask for help, time off/out of things and for friends to listen. You'll feel jumbled and that's ok. If I can help or you'd like to talk PM.

my dad died unexpectedly 6 years ago. bloody hell it was horrid, but it does get better, know it does not feel it will at the moment.
i still cry now, but then i smile and think of all the good times.

It gets better. It really does. You won't be the same again, but you'll learn to manage the grief and eventually you'll find the grief doesn't stop you from being happy.

I'm so sorry - my father died very suddenly too, and that awful shock is still so vivid. When you're up to it (not now) please think about bereavement counselling.

My dad died last year after a long illness, so I can't imaging your shock. I still think of him every day and childhood memories come flooding back with very little prompting. Take care of yourself. He would want you to.

My dad died 15 years ago aged 54, he had been unwell for many months but we didn't expect him to die. It was the very worst time of my life. He never saw me married. Never saw his grandchildren.
It does get better. Thinking of you.

Thank you all for your words x x

It's 16 years this month since my dad died. He had been ill but it was still devastating. I still think of him most days, and it hurts so much that he never saw my daughter grow up and get married last summer. It gets better though, in that I can think about him and smile rather than cry. Thinking about you in these next hard days.

So sorry fooso that's awful. We lost our dmil a week before Christmas and honestly I felt like our world had ended. It was sudden and she was 62 it was so bloody unfair. I didn't think I could do it all support my poor DH who had lost his mum, my 2 DC who adored their nanny, plus my bewildered father in law.

But you know what you can and you do , all I can say is time is a great healer look after yourself and your family and do what feels right. It's just awful nothing can fix it but time really does help. It is so raw now, I still stop and think of dmil and cry my 7 year old dd crystal and that breaks my heart but some how you do carry on and each day gets a little easier.

Hope you will be ok fooso it's just the worst thing.

I meant my 7 year old DS crys still.

so sorry for all the people who have lost someone they loved. It's just so heartbreaking. Today I had a conversation with my brother and we actually laughed about something to do with my dad... so one day at a time x
