Hi everyone, wondered if anyone can help me with any advice? Im desperate.
So my dad has just passed away at the age of 59 and i am 22 and 4 weeks pregnant after having a miscarriage 3 months ago.

Kaylajade21 I am so sorry for your loss too and just wanted to send you and your baby positive thoughts. What I find helpful with grieving is to allow yourself short periods of time when you think about the person you've lost - at first those periods may just be seconds, but over time you'll be able to stay with those thoughts for a longer time. Then, when you find it's becoming painful (try to focus on the happy times you've shared with your Dad rather than the ones you won't be sharing), distract yourself by doing something else. In this way you'll get to honour your Dad's memory without it becoming overwhelming. Also do lots of breathing, relaxation practice, yoga and sleeping to give yourself time to heal. Your Dad lives on in you - and will also live on in your beloved baby once he or she is born.
