My lovely dad

I don’t want to go to sleep tonight. If I go to sleep then in the morning my beloved dad will have been gone a day, not available to me to touch or kiss anymore. If I stay awake, he was alive this morning. My foundation.

I will go to sleep, I’ve promised my elderly frail mum I’ll come and lay next to her for a cuddle. I am heart broken.

So sorry for your loss

Sending you so much love. I was in your position earlier this year, I cannot put into words what it felt like. It didn't feel possible he could be gone.

There is a lot of support to be found here Flowers

Sending strength to you, I lost my mum on Thursday. I completely understand your pain, I just sit and go over and over her final minutes and it's torture. I'm so sorry for your loss x

Truly sorry for your loss Flowers

I am sorry for your loss. Your post is very touching, it's so clear that you loved him a great deal and I'm sure he would have known. I hope you get some rest.💐

I'm with you. My dear dad died in June. I hate the end of months because they're all 'the first' without him. We will find our ways to live with this & we will love them always.

Sending lots of love. Think about my dad every day, now I've reached a place where most of the time thinking of him makes me smile, not cry Flowers

Thank you for your kind messages.
I'm sat in the garden drinking coffee and listening to the birds. This is the first day without him and although I'm crying into one of his hankies, I'll go and have a shower in a minute then make my mum a cup of tea and get on with because that's what he would've wanted.

@Myfoundation I am so sorry for your loss. I get it. I lost my Dad 3 weeks ago and the first morning after I completely broke down. We buried him 6 days ago and it is really hitting me now. I have such a strong urge to call him and it breaks my heart. I hope you are OK. As @DumpedByText said - I also find myself going over & over those last days/hours. It really is torture. Take care ❤️
