feeling so lost we had mums funeral Tuesday but it still doesn't feel real that's she actually gone even though i saw her in the chapel of rest and just after she died just don't know what to do
My dad passed away two weeks ago from lung cancer. Diagnosed 8 weeks ago and now he's no longer with us. Such a shock.
Dads funeral was today and I also feel like it's not real. That it's all a very bad dream. It's all part of the grieving process.
We'll have a rollercoaster of emotions for quite some time. Go with it and allow yourself to grieve. It's an extremely painful time and very early days for us.
My best friend passed away from breast cancer four yrs ago. I remember feeling so lonely, angry, depressed etc. But in time it got easier and I learnt to live with her not being around but will always miss her.
Losing a parent is one of the hardest things we have to go through. It's heart wrenching.
Big big hugs to you xx And do what feels right for you. Photos up of your mum, her belongings close by etc.
thank you for your kind words I'm sorry to hear about your dad that was very quick mum had a 10 year battle first with great cancer then she got metastatic breast cancer which came back in her bones and after being her carer for 6 year I'm truly lost without her being here
I feel the same we had our dad's funreal on the 25th November. Since then I now feel the grief and loss it actually hurts nothing in this world seems safe or secure. I can't get my head around where he is and everything is pointless. I can barely eat and sleep is difficult am managing to turn up to work but am teary at times. It's very difficult and Christmas can go do one. I wonder how your grief is? I would oddly like to share notes as I feel like I'm going crazy x
I'm so so sorry to hear that you lost your Dad recently. What you're feeling is what most people are going through on here, so please don't feel like you're going crazy! I think I was in shock still up until my Mums funeral and then I really started grieving. It's such an awful feeling that literally nothing seems to help, and part of me still feels like my Mum is coming home but I know that she isn't.
Well done for holding it together and going into work. Although you feel weepy while you're there, work is actually a great distraction and better than being at home alone dwelling on things. You're so strong for going in and holding it together. It's fine to be a bit weepy at work, hopefully you have a supportive team that understands.
I know what you mean about Christmas :( we've lost our loved one at a really unfortunate time and Christmas will inevitably be difficult but please try to make the best out of an awful situation. Your Dad wouldn't want you to be this sad, although it's so hard not to be. I'm told on here that things get easier and you will learn to get by with the grief.
Thinking of you xx just post what you feel on here, everyone is lovely and it's very comforting to share with people who understand! Xx
