My dad has died.

[Sidge]

I knew the phone call would come (he had a brain tumour and had been in the hospice since just before Christmas) but when the call came at 0430 to say he had died I just couldn't believe it.

I can't believe my dad has gone. He is only 60. The news hasn't come as a surprise but I can't believe how grief stricken I am. I thought I would feel more prepared but I just feel totally bereft. The sadness is incredible.

And to make it worse DH is away and I can't phone him.

I'm so so sorry that you have lost your Dad Sidge.

Much love to you tonight. xx

MissusLindt - he could if we pushed for it but he's home in 11 days so I shall wait until then.

Have just drunk a toast to you and your Dad. So sorry for your loss .

Off to bed in a minute herbietea - thanks for the unMNy hugs, I appreciate them

oh sidge you have my deepest sympathey(I am going through this with my dad at the moment) so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry Sidge.

My dad died when he was only 59. It was 20 years ago and I miss him all the time.

That's not meant to be gloomy for you - it is good to miss someone when they are gone, shows you cared for them and still do.

A toast to your dad and to you.

So sorry Sidge.
Sending you love xxxx

sorry for your loss

im so sorry sidge.

So sorry for your loss Sidge. Enjoy your happy memories once your grief has softened.

I'm so sorry

Goodnight David, and God Bless.

i am sorry sidge, really sad. get some rest.x

Much love Sidge. My thoughts are with you. Cxx

I'm so sorry Sidge. My mum died two years ago and even though she'd been ill it was still such a shock. Take care of yourself.

So sorry . My dear dad had the same name and was too young to go too. Hope you are getting some rest and take any offers of help you can. Best wishes.

Am very for you - 60 is no age.

My mum died of cancer in July 07 aged 63 - unreasonably young. Even though we knew it was coming (well, for 8 whole days anyway) and we were all with her, it was still a very long period of disbelief that she actually had gone (am still not 100% sure I believe it now )

I hope your DH can get some kind of compassionate leave to be with you.

Sidge

I hope you have lots of lovely memories of your dear Dad, which will give you some comfort during the coming days and weeks.

Thinking of you, and all those MNers who will be reliving some of their grief tonight.

Take care,

Thinking of you

How you coping Sidge?

I really feel for you - I can still remember the emptiness and pain I felt when I lost both of my parents (even though years apart). I was expecting it in both cases but it is still unbearable losing a parent, who is after all a massive chunk of your life.

Take care of you {{{hugs}}}

So sorry you are going through this. It is a terrible time.
Mum died from a brain tumor 6 months ago. I don't think I will ever recover.

So sorry Sidge x

I'm so so sorry to hear your sad news, Sidge.
