Just A Note....

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you again for the support. I have joined a couple of online support groups and have been looking in to doing some volunteer work in my dad's honor. I am also seeking help from my GP to help battle the depression. Thank you again :)

Hi Laura

Good to hear you are being so proactive. I am sure you will be a brilliant volunteer - you will have lots of empathy and your dear Dad would be so proud of you.

That's great Laura, you will work through your dad's loss, my mum's been gone 19 years and still have a cry now and then, but your memories mellow, unfortunately there's no timetable! A fantastic idea to do volunteer work, not only will it help you, it will also help others. All the very best to you and big hugs. Libby x

Hi Laura, it's great that you are finding ways to cope with your loss, as someone who works for a charity I can tell you that we couldn't keep going without the help of our volunteers and I think it is wonderful that you are looking to go down this route, on the plus side I think it would you would also get a lot back from the time you give. Good luck and all the very best Julie xx

Good to hear from you again. I still miss my father but the pain goes. Volunteering would be great, you can also look at fundraising in your fathers's memory.

Have a lovely Christmas and drink a toast to your father remembering all the happy times.

Hello Laura. Dealing with loss is hard, but you are doing all the right things. I still miss my parents after several years and have very recently lost my sister (none of them to lung related conditions) so I understand the pain you are going through.

Hiya Laura. You are still thinking of others and that is brilliant. I wish there were more like you. The pain you feel now will ease. I lost my own dad fifteen years ago but I still think of him a lot. Now though, it is the happy times that I rememember and not the sad ones. Stay well sweetheart.

Love from Bobby xxx

Well done Laura, good move going to the doc, it's really too tough to try to recover on your own, especially one as young as you.

My very best wishes to you xxxx peeg
