The world keeps turning....

The grief does come in waves, that's completely normal Hun, all I can say is try to deal with one day at a time, it will be hard, very hard but with each day that passes it gets the teeniest bit easier altho u won't realise that at first. Lots of love sweetie xxx
 
Thanks again girls.
Today has been weirdly beautiful, all the kids (I say kids were 25, 36, 38 and 41 lol) and grandkids were at my moms and we all sat in the garden having a few drinks and playing football, my brother got the BBQ going, some of the neighbours came round. My dad would've loved it, it's strange but we've all had a nice day. I've really struggled to keep it together today though, we've just got home and I burst into tears. Lee has been amazing, he's helping me keep my head above water he's been truly great I'd have crumbled big time without him and A. And you guys of course, you're all wonderful.
 
:hug: I'm sure today is just what your dad would have wanted for you all. Still thinking of you all lots x x
 
I am so sorry for your loss hun. I can't even imagine what you're going through right now.
It reminds me how fortunate I am to still have my dad here, even though he has had two major heart operations and will be on medication for the rest of his life. I dread to think what my life will be like without him.

Agreed with Sam's mum there. It's exactly what your Dad would have wanted, who wouldn't want that?
Take each day as it comes and try not to dwell on the future. Your son might not see his Grandfather again but you will tell him of all the wonderful and cherished memories of him. And at least you have that photo, I'd advise you to get several copies of it as one is never enough and too precious to lose if you ever did.

I never met my Grandmother because she died of cervical cancer and breast cancer when my mum was just 13. But my mum has shared some wonderful memories of her and only wish I could have met her. We've also got her photo up in the living room, one of very few photo's.

Take care of yourself and if anything, try to celebrate your fathers life. Sitting around with family and bringing up memories, laughing, smiling and occasionally crying is really helpful :)

My thoughts go out to you and your family xxx
 
Hi girls.

Yesterday was really hard. Told we need to wait for a postmortem before we can do the funeral because my dad went to the doctors the other day and got a clean bill of health so they're now not sure what killed him. Only problem is they're shut for most of the next two weeks and the days they are open they'll have a back log of people so it could be a month before we can lay him to rest. I just want it over with so we can start healing properly, now were all gonna start healing just to be ripped apart again for the funeral.
The amount of people that have shown support is astounding, my dad was really loved, our neighbours have been brilliant, have practically moved into my moms lol and they run a florists so they said they will sort all the flowers for us and they're even doing the wake in their house.

Thanks again for all the love ladies x

The waiting is awful hun :hug: :hug: it was just short of a month from Caroline dying to her funeral, and it does rake it up again and the grief will feel so raw. At times like this your faith in humanity is really restored we couldn't believe peoples kindness and compassion, it's really humbling isn't it? So glad that you are supporting each other as a family there's no doubt that your dad would have wanted this. Is important that you all stick together as it will make you stronger and your bond as a family will grow to strengths that you never knew before. We are always here for you and you know you can pm me at anytime if u need any help with anything xx
 
Oh that's awful that you're having to wait so long :hug: thinking of you chick, iif there's anything at all you need then let me know xxx
 
So sorry to hear your news hun. I lost my mam at Christmas, half way through my pregnancy, so totally understand your feelings regarding your little one missing out on knowing him as he grows up. I'm really looking forward to telling mine all about her Nana who would have loved her so much - you'll be able to tell Aiden all about his Granda - it's not the same of course but it's a small comfort. And just what everyone else said - take each day as it comes, it's all you can do. Sorry again for your loss x
 
Stacey I've only just seen this, I am so sorry. I cannot even begin to imagine how you're feeling and what you're having to go through but I'm thinking about you and Aiden and sending you lots of love. Really sorry to hear about your dad xxxx
 
:hug: I can't offer much help, as Im sure noone can, but we're all here and thinking of you.
 
i am so sorry :hugs: only gettin caught up now! thinking of you xxx
 
Have just seen this, Im so sorry to hear that - how sad. You are such a support to others on this forum I hope you can feel the love coming back to you right now. :hug: xxx
