Terrible day

31 Replies

Today has been an absolutely horrendous day. My dad died suddenly after being taken into hospital on sat evening with a chest infection which quickly became pneumonia. They then found 3 cancer masses in his lungs then sepsis got him. He was talking to us at 4pm quite normally then at 7,45 he was taken. My dad was my everything. My mum died when I was 12 so dad brought us up. Being mum and dad my whole life. I don't know how I can cope without him. I feel the pain of the fibro worsening constantly throughout the day. It is gonna be an awful future.

You sound like a kind lovely lady. I wish I knew you better.

I'm not grieving but I do cry every day and don't know why?

Your words are a type of comfort.

I'm so very sorry, julie, you are in my thoughts and prayers at this terrible time of loss. Just try to take one day at a time and don't think beyond coping with the present moment.

I'm afraid grief will make the fibro worse, so please take very great care of yourself.

I feel for you, I lost my husband 8 years ago and the pain is still there - although it does ease. Take each day as it comes. Be gentle on yourself. Accept all offers of help. Don't expect to suddenly be 'okay', grief is never 'got over' but you learn to live with it. xx

Dear Julie

Please accept my sincerest condolences on your incredibly sad loss.

It must feel like a double whammy as your dad brought you up without your mum.

I do hope that you can take some small comfort that your mum and dad are now reunited once more and are looking over you.

Do you have good people around you? As others have said, accept all offers of help. The first days and weeks, just take life one day at a time and try not to think much further ahead right now.

Again, this has been said, but is true. You never get over losing a loved one. You just have to learn to live with it.

Your Fibro will flare, so please do try to be kind to yourself. We are all here thinking of you.

I am sending love and hugs your way.

You are in my thoughts and prayers

There is nothing any of us can say to ease your pain at the moment. He may have been taken suddenly but you have a lifetime of wonderful memories and maybe they will help get you through this very sad time.

Oh Julie, I've just read ur message and I have tears flowing from my eyes. This is such a sad story. I really feel your pain, I have no idea what you're going through and the next few days will be very sad and scary, but you will be strong and get through it.

Your parents are together now that must be some comfort to you, but right now you need to give yourself time to get used to the shock.

It was a complete shock, you weren't expecting it.

Only then can you move on.

Do you have many friends? Family? Sisters or/and brothers?

Please don't feel too sad, let your tears flow they're a way of healing and you need to cry and allow time to grieve.

You have friends on here.

My thought are with you

dear julie, am so sorry to her about your dad. sounds like he was a very special father. know you will miss him. my dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer. he went in for surgery, got sepsis and died from the sepsis within a 6o day period. it was 20 years ago and there isn't a day that goes by that i don't think of him. he will always be a part of me as i know your dad will for you. i hurt for you remembering the pain. i didn't have fibro then but between dealing with all the doctors and my crazy mother i had stopped eating. that was a big mistake. you are going to need all your strength now so try to eat a bit throughout the day. you might want to talk with your doctor about your dads passing. i am not a doctor but might need to up medications if taking hydrocortisone or similar meds. please take care of yourself. we are all here for you...

Oh dear julie, my heart goes out to you. I can only imagine your shock and sorrow at this time. I had weeks to prepare for my own Dad's parting, but it is always difficult. Please know that so many of us will be keeping you in our thoughts and also in prayer in the days ahead.
