Only just saw this now - so sorry to hear of your loss x
 
So sorry to hear your Dad has passed away Lily.......:hug:

That's a lovely photo you have and a great idea for a canvass.

I lost my wonderful Dad nearly 4 years ago, not a day goes by without me thinking of him, but time does make it easier.
 
Thinking of you and your family I am so sorry for your sad loss xxx
 
ive only just seen this thread... so sorry for you & your family. =( xoxox
 
Thanks girls.
My neighbour caught me sitting staring at my dads car and as she walked past she put her hand on my shoulder and said time is a great healer and walked off. It was weird, really lifted my spirits slightly.

Still so much to do, can't plan any of the funeral as we still haven't been given the death certificate because they haven't got round to the postmortem yet :( though we have order the flowers from our neighbours who are very kindly gonna do them for us. Were having a cushion with dad on, the kids are having a posy with grandad on and my mom is having a heart with husband on. That's about all we can arrange really.

Thank you so much for the love and support I love you guys :flower:
 
I know its a morbid kinda idea, but there is a website that helps you with a step to step guide of the process of when someone passes away. We wouldn't have had a clue otherwise. I think I just typed in "arranging a funeral" in google or something. Just in case it helps you xx
 
Thanks chick, I came across something like that earlier, couldn't bring myself to open the link though but I guess I'll have to sometime.

We haven't got a clue what to do about his money or anything, there's not a lot like but there was no will so does that money just disappear into thin air or will my mom be able to claim it? He was going to give me his car as well and now it's effectively no ones so my mom doesn't know what she has to do with that either. There's just so many little things that we haven't got a clue on and so Many other things we can't do without the death certificate.

In a way I just want to get the funeral over with so we can get on with grieving properly but on the other hand I don't want it to ever happen cos it won't feel real until then :(

I've never lost a family member before, I didn't realise something could hurt so much x
 
I'll pm you about what to do with all of that hun, don't worry I arranged all of Caroline's stuff so I can help you xx
 
Thanks hunny. I was going to pm you earlier about it all cos you're literally the only person I know that might have any sort of idea but I got distracted by Chinese. That's really bad :(
 
Hi honey. Iv been reading your thread since your awful news and been thinking of what I can say.

I lost my mum just under 2 years ago and I just wanted to send you hugs and say that your neighbour is so right. Time is the only thing that makes it any easier.

Right now when you think about him being gone you maybe feel like someone is stamping on your heart? But one day I promise you will be able to think of him and smile and think of the happy memories without there being so much pain.

Thinking of you xx
 
Thanks spammy. I know you're right, it's just getting there that is the hard part I guess.
When all the family are together it's almost ok, we all smile and laugh because of all the kids and we talk about my dad and all the good things that happened and it's nice to remember him like that, I guess that's what it will always be like in future when we have grieved properly.

I just hate night time. One of us has always stayed with my mom since it happened as she's living on her own now and that's got to be hard to adjust to in itself seeing as she's lived with him for 40+ years! But Monday night no one could stay because of the kids going back to school (we were already home when we figured shed be alone) and when I asked her if she coped ok she said yeah I just stayed up all night and cleaned. That broke my heart :( we've bought her a little pup to keep her company and she loves him dearly and my sister bless her is selling her house so she can move in with my momma :)

I love how close my family is now, it's just a shame we had to lose my dad for it to happen, I'd give anything to have him back.

Sorry I've gone on a bit x
 
I think it's only natural for your family to come together in crisis hun. I'm sure you were always close, just sometimes takes a tragedy for you all to feel like you need each other. I know the only people I wanted after my mum died were my dad and sisters because I felt like they were the only ones that knew how awful I felt.

I don't know what to say about your mum other than the fact that she will need loads of time with her kids and grandkids and that time will make it easier for her too.

The only other bit of advice I can give you is to just go with your feelings whatever they are. Grief is a funny thing. Even now the funniest of things set me off. Just keep your family close and laugh and cry together. It will help I promise xxx
