Dad died

[hoarahloux]

He was 60. Pancreatic cancer.

I'm fine, we knew it was stage 4 and his time was limited, and he died peacefully. Last time I saw him he was in great spirits, it's how I want to remember him.

I'm struggling with the dreams. I have vivid dreams anyway and lately he's been there most nights. Last night he was sitting in his usual seat and only I knew he was there. I knew he was dead and kept asking myself is this real? is he alive? I blew him a kiss and woke up.

His funeral is next week. Not sure how to get through it.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I lost my dad a few years ago and had dreams like yours, and felt they were like a wee visit instead.

Be kind and gentle on yourself in the coming days. You'll absolutely get through the funeral, just one minute at a time. Wishing you peace and comfort

I wish the dreams felt like a visit. I'm not religious or anything but I still hoped for that. But they feel like him being gone. Still hoping for a visit or a sign or something. Thank you.

So sorry about your lovely Dad I can understand your dreams. When my beautiful son died I had very vivid repetitive dreams. We live on the coast and I would be on top of the cliff with him in his wheelchair and I let it go (?why) and it falls over the cliff. It haunts me still four years on.Take care.

I'm sorry. My dad passed away 4 weeks tomorrow. What I would give to have your vivid dreams. I wake up most mornings so sad that I haven't dreamt of him.

No advice as I'm struggling a lot. I do my daily life but it still doesn't feel real. The man I loved all my life is gone. It physically hurts so much.
