My dad passed away yesterday morning and im absolutely devastated. I've always been so close to him and i just can't believe hes gone and il never see him again. He only got diagnosed with cancer last week so it has all been so quick. Im 27 and currently 28 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I dont know how to bring my baby in to this world without my dad being there to meet her. My heart is breaking, i dont know how im ever going to get through this right now. Why if life so cruel?

I am so sorry that you lost your father!!!
Especially with you being pregnant.
Speaking from experience, I know you are heart broken.
*You have always been close with your father so you know for certain he would want for you to keep going, right?
You are going to have those "I'm not getting out of bed today" and that's ok!!!
You may have a lot of those.
And because you are close to him start thinking of all the fun stories you will be able to tell your little one someday.
Also I would highly highly recommend talking to someone.
You are literally growing a human and your body and soul will be exhausted from grief.
You can do this, I promise 💘

@ Mymomsbetterthanyomom is right... he knows you are going to be an amazing mum. He is your ‘behind the scenes’ cheerleader. You can do this!
