Funeral tomorrow
iam so very sorry sending love and prayers to you and your family
💖 try to hold onto the thought that only his earthly body is in there, his eternal spirit is right there next to you and in your heart. 💫
Hi L1974 Here’s a big (((hug))) from me, it’s a horrible time for you, we’re all thinking of you and sending love & support to get you through.
Cry if you want to, let it go ❤️
Please don’t be afraid of the coffin, try and focus on saying something loving with your goodbyes, something that you will remember with love.
Here for you
Chloe
Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Big hugs x
sorry to hear about your dearest dad thoughts are with you all.it can be very hard but having good memories are ways of getting us through a difficult day.
Sending a big virtual hug, try not to think about the coffin & remember your wonderful Dad will always be with you in your heart & memories. Xx
I hope you manage to get through the day OK. The coffin is just a box for earthly remnants, your Dad is not really in there, but he is in your heart, and in the hearts of all those who loved him, for as long as you are all alive. I hope you are comforted by having family and friends around you.
I hear ya... that's a tough one! It's okay to NOT be okay and to break down. That's a huge loss of a man who meant the world to you. Praying for peace and guidance throughout this grieving process. It truly is a journey and one that is personal and unique to you. Give yourself time to grieve and go through all the stages, there are many. Deep breath... breathe....journal any conversations that you would have liked to have with him. Write to him as if he is right beside you, it helps. I hope you find comfort as you journey through this season of pain and loss.
How did it go? Are you coping?
Hello it went well, we gave him a good send off. Today my hubby is back at work, I am off this week so just trying to keep busy. Have a call with the consultant who was treating my dad in hospital at 4, just to understand what went wrong to go in with a minor stroke and not come out. It’s not going to bring him back but it may help to know?? Thanks for checking in 🙂
Oh that is good 💖 yes, personally I have found information and knowledge comforting. Take it easy, try to remember to eat and hydrate. 👍🏻
I am eating now, didn’t much the first week but I have an 8 year old to look after so got to keep well.
Exactly that 🤗👍🏻 and of course your Dad would want you to keep healthy!
Thinking of going back to Zumba classes this week?? Is it too soon? X
No! Exercise is great for helping get back to some kind of normality! Don't be surprised if you get the odd, weird wave of emotion though, just roll with it.
