My dad died on Tuesday

My dad was finally able to rest in piece after dying in my arms at home.
It has been horrible watching him waste away over the last month as he was such an active man and was not used to being ill.
I miss that kind gentle man and cannot believe i will never see him again

I think it worked for me as it meant I could be involved without actually being involved, given my desire to remain in my shell, if that makes sense?
My sister said some non-sensical stuff, my brother did not wish to speak at all.

Off to bed. Good luck tomorrow. I will be here if you need me tomorrow or the day after, or any time after that...

My mum died last May. I don't think we had to work out cost of house contents for probate.

Re selling your Dad's house. Don't rush. My brother and I have hardly started on my mum's house, and she died 10 months ago. We both need to take our time about it TBH.

Be gentle with your self....
