My Dad died suddenly and unexpected

My Dad died suddenly and unexpected 4 weeks ago. I am struggling to cope. I have two boys aged 6 and 14 who had a special bond with my Dad. My eldest is finding it hard too. Mum and he had been together for over 50 years. The sadness in her eyes is hearbreaking. I'm so upset and I can't see how it will ever be any better as he's never coming back. It's never going to be ok. I cry going to bed and cry every day. It's unbelievable this has happened. He was not ill. He died of an Abdominal auric annurism.

Denise,

I am so sorry for your loss. I had a grandfather die from the same thing. It was sudden and unexpected.

Attached is a magazine about Death. It is educational. Comforting, and gives us hope for the future.

I hope it helps.

Thank you Wendy. You replied on my Dads bithday :-(
As well as trying to cope with my own grief my teenager is struggling and I feel so sad for my Mum. Just thinking of her alone. I can see the sadness in her all the time it's heartbreaking. It's 8 weeks today and still hard to believe this has happened to us. I miss him so much. We do a lot with my Mum but at the end of the day she is still home alone. You are right nothing can or ever will fill the void. It's awful.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
