Lost my father

7 Replies

Hello,

My Dad (83) went to hospital last Thursday with difficulty breathing. It got worse and worse and he passed away yesterday. It was horrible, beyond. The last two days have been the hardest of my life, he was on a breathing machine (CPAP) fighting for his breath. I'm not sure how I can ever get over what he went through. Am I supposed to remember the good days and blank the last two days? Still in shock.

Thanks

I’m so sorry for your loss. As the saying goes ‘time is a great healer’ the rawness of the last few days will fade & the good memories will take over in time.

Look after yourself x

Thank you very much for your reply, it is so hard. But I’m not alone thankfully, we have a very supportive family

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. Having lost both my parents an niece within years of each other all I can recommend is take your time and get strength from friends and family. Dealing with grief is a very personal thing. Happy memories certainly helped with me xxx

Hello Zinge

My thoughts are with you and your family,

It's devastating to watch our loved ones suffering like that, I am so very sorry you went through that (((hugs)))

You're in a state of shock right now and that is totally understandable <3 your emotions are very raw.

Take it one day at a time, and support each other the best you can in the coming days.

We are always here for you,

Chloe

Thank you so much Chloe. Trying our best.

It's awful having bad memories at the end of life. You won't forget them but, with time, you will remember happier memories. Take care of yourself.
