I'm so sorry. Flowers

My father was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer so I have a bit of a clue what your family have been through.

Grief does funny things to people and she is probably just not thinking straight.

Oh OP...some people have no grace or manners. I'm so sorry that your Dad has gone so suddenly and before you were all expecting it. The shock of reading that message must have been terrible. Flowers

So sorry, thoughts and love with you.xx

So sorry - it would have been a little bit better if you'd known before you read it. But people do thoughtless things when death happens. Sending a hand hold, op.

Yes I would've prepared telling my daughter, she's very close to my dad

So sorry for your loss. And your daughters as well. There’s no easy way to find out such horrible news, but that is a really insensitive thing for your sister to do.

I'm so sorry about your dad. Your sister was way out of line posting that on Facebook before someone told you personally. What was she thinking.
Even in the Leicester helicopter crash they didn't realise name until all families were conracted. Have to peesume shock turned your sister into a moron.

Are you estranged from your sister? What about your mum?
