Heartbroken

My wonderful dad passed away suddenly in February and I just feel broken. He was the one stable and constant thing in my life. The one person that always had my back, never judged. I just can’t get my head around the fact that I can never ever speak to him again. My heart hurts so so much, there’s a million things I wish I could say. Will this ever get any better?

It is very early days for you, it does become more bearable, I am not sure the pain goes but it becomes more liveable with. I am 16 months on from losing DH and it is more bearable now than it was in the beginning. I am so sorry for your loss Flowers

I am so sorry for your loss OP. Hold on to the wonderful memories you have and you’ll never really lose your dad as he will always be in
your heart with you. Time does heal, but I think we always carry around a little sadness for losing those we love. My thoughts are with you x

I just can’t beat the pain - like deep deep pain in my heart, it literally takes my breath away. I feel so alone, I have a partner and children but feel like I’m all by myself in this heartache. I feel so angry, at everyone… at the world.

I totally understand how u are feeling, my dad passed away in November and then my mum died months later😔

My mum remarried (she was with him for about 7 years) and then he passed away in February and due to grief, poor mental health my mum then passed away 1 week ago.

Me and my sister watched her life support machine be turned off. I feel like I'm drowning at the moment, like I can't breath....then I have moments of feeling angry. I have a partner and 2 young kids but the grief is to much at times x

It does get easier. I lost my mum in June 2017, and then my dad 11 weeks later. They were my world. It takes time.

I lost mine too 7 weeks ago. He went into hospital with Sepsis and died 3 days later alone in ITU. The pain is immense along with anger and guilt and that deep sadness that sits inside your chest. People say it gets better so I hold onto that. Much love, you're not alone x

It does get better. I’m 12 years on from losing my dad. The pain becomes something you can choose not to poke at. Things still set me off - and I found it terribly hard when my mum died 2 years ago, missing my dad all over again as well as my mum.

I lost my mum in December, also a traumatic ICU. I’ve recovered really surprisingly well but every two weeks I get a day when I just can’t stop crying. it’s exhausting.

Solidarity with you all, it’s just so painful.

I remember . I lost my mum just before you and we were both pregnant. You helped me feel not quite so alone. Thank you.
In answer the physical pain youre describing does ease after a few years. Some people dont get the actual heart ache so they dont know what youre talking about. But yes we know. Xx
