My dad died of a heart attack and me and my mum are really struggling and would like help from other people who have had a loss from a heart attack as it was and still is a shock it doesn't feel real. We would like to speak to more people who have had this loss like a support group or someone online to speak to to help us does anyone know where we could go or would be willing to help?

I'm sorry for your loss, it's so very hard to deal with. I lost my husband almost a year ago. If your Dad died in hospital there will be a bereavement team available to help you otherwise talk to your GP who can point you to local help.

It does get better I promise x

I'm sorry for your loss, I'm relieved that you and your mother have each other for support.

My wife, who's a counsellor, volunteered for Cruse Bereavement for many years. They offer a standard six week course of support (although this can be extended in certain circumstances) and many, many people have found them to be an essential companion along the difficult journey to recovering from disabling grief.

I believe Cruse prefer to take on clients who are at least two or three months past the bereavement.

Hello Lesley,

I am so sorry for the lose of your Dad and the heartache you are suffering. I deeply feel your pain, and know exactly how you are feeling having someone you love taken from you so suddenly.

Due to fatal heart attacks I lost my Dad when he was 48, my brother 53, my nephew 40 and another brother.

I thought the heart disease was only affecting the male members of my family until 2015 when I too suffered a heart attack and survived, I did not even realise it was a heart attack until the pain became unbearable. I survived, was kept stable for a week and then had a Quadruple Bypass a week after.

When someone we love so much is there one minuet, literally gone the next is shock and horror to your heart and sole. It is not the same as knowing your loved one is ill, it is sudden, my Dad went to bed and never got up.

I am here for you if you would like to chat, message or talk as it is easier to talk with others who have suffered the pain you have.

It will help to make that big hole you have in your heart and gut get smaller bit by bit.

My thoughts are with you and your Mum,

Jane xxxx
