    katholicos you have my deepest sympathies for you and your family xx Will light a candle for you all x

    I went through something similar when my mum died, eight years ago in June. Its hard, but at least you were there to send him off and say good bye, which would have meant to him.:)
  • Katholicos- sending you and your family love and hugs to get through the next few days, weeks and months. Keep sowing your seeds with your lovely Dad in mind, remembering how proud he was of you.

  • Katholicos, so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. It sounds like a terrible clich! but do take each day as it comes - there will be good days and bad for some time to come and then there comes a point where you realise the good days outnumber the bad. 3 years ago next month I lost my dad and I still have wobbly days. Lots of love to you all xxxx
    :D Skint but happy with my lovely family :D

  • Katholicos - deepest sympathy my dear. I remember losing my dad a lot of years ago now. I still think of him every day. It does get easier but be kind to yourself until you start to heal.

    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

    Kathilicos. so sorry for your loss. I lost my own dear dad last year, one of god's finest.

    Be gentle with yourself, grief feels an alien place and it takes time to adjust to things.
