Can't cope and I really miss him dearly

Hi my name is Jordan and I am from the south of Ireland. I am 15 years of age but I will be turning 16 in the start of July.

My Dad  sadly passed away in March 2018 he had severe terminal bowel cancer which was spreading into stomach kidneys and lungs. He was diagnosed in October 2017 and was diagnosed terminal in January 2018. It was the toughest few months of my whole entire life. His mother ruined the whole funeral service it is too long a story to be telling you about but if you really want to know I will tell you. 

I am really not coping I am lashing out at everyone and just feeling really upset and I can't even go to the graveside because his mother is constantly in there and any time I see her I just want to beat the absolute crap out of her and I would just get arrested. I really miss my Dad terribly and I can't even go to the graveside because his mother will be there. She is a villain to me. Can you please help me with coping. I just can't focus anymore I am sick to *** of it all. 

  • Hi DaddyImissyou,

    I'm sorry you're struggling to cope. I noticed you posted last year and Helen suggested some organisations that could help. Unfortunately Cancer Chat doesn't have the resources to help with bereavement, but there is support out there and I'd suggest you contact any one of them, they all have helplines or forums so you can talk to someone. Apart from the ones that Helen mentioned, there's also Winston's Wish. They also have a free helpline, 08088 020 021, which is open Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm.

    I hope you're able to get the support you need,
