But onece again ime sorry you and your family are going through this and have been touched by this rotton disease .paul

Hi Danny - it's awful that you have lost your dad especially when it was so sudden. It's a huge shock & it's really no wonder you feel so distressed & upset. There's every chance that your dad didn't know what was happening & you mustn't focus on that even tho' I know that's easier said than done. 

You say you just want hime back - of course you do - that's the way everyone feels when someone they love so much dies. We somehow think if we wish it hard enough it will happen but of course it can't. It's part of the grieving process & something we all have to go thro'. You will, in a little while, come to accept that he has gone & when you do you will no longer feel quite so desperate to have him back. But it takes a little time & you need to give yourself that time - painful tho it is.

There aren't any shortcuts I'm afraid. I wish there were & I wish there were some magic words someone has that would make the pain go away because I know it does feel unbearable. That feeling of being lost & scared is normal so try not to worry too much about that but try to accept that is how you will feel for a time. But, it DOES get better, it all DOES go away. Just give it a little bit of time. Post here whenever you need to get things off your chest & we'll do what we can to help. Take care of yourself. x

Thank you
