    I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad's death, Linda. He was surrounded by love, so I hope you will be comforted by that thought.

    Thank you everyone, your words are of great comfort to me.

    I'm feeling sad and nostalgic but at least I know he was with my brothers when he died and not alone in hospital as my Mum was.

    My sister is very upset because she stayed at my brother's with Dad for three days and two nights and he actually died when she’d popped home for a couple of hours rest. She wanted to physically be with him and hold his hand as he went. I’ve tried to reassure her and told her she could have done no more for him than she did but, sadly, she’s full of ‘if onlys’. Sometimes there's nothing you can say to ease the grief.
    Love, Legs x

    Linda, I am so sorry for the loss of your lovely Dad, you are quite right, sometimes nothing you say can help ease the grief or stop the if onlys. You think you'll never get through it at the time, and people tell you all sorts of things, time helps etc, for me, and I only speak for me, I found the more I talked to people who knew my little loved one, and reminisced about all the good times we had, it felt like the loved one hadn't gone, they are there clearly in our hearts and nothing can take that away.
    You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers Linda (((((()))))) Xxx

    Yes, Poppy, talking does help and even writing it down and sharing it, like now, with people we have never met. I am very sorry for the loss of your little one.

    I shall miss my Dad but we had a worse time last Christmas when my eldest brother lost his 3-year old granddaughter and my cousin hung himself where his family would find him. I was unable to say on the Forum at the time but that was truly terrible.

    To lose my Dad is very sad but it is the right order of things, when a 3-year old child dies who hasn't even had a fair chance of life is so wrong, words cannot articulate the sadness of that loss.

    That doesn't mean to say I'm not grateful for everyone's thoughts and kind wishes now for the loss of my dear Dad, I truly am.
    Love, Legs x

    Oh Legs

    l am so sorry to hear that your Dad has gone :sad:

    I am even more sad to hear what you went through last year and we didn't even realise our friend was suffering like that :shock:

    Please do accept my genuine genuine love and best wishes for you.

    Like your sister, we all do the 'what ifs' at a time like this. It's sad for her but worse for you and you've dealt with it brilliantly. You did all you possibly could and he had a 'good death'. You're right about the natural order of things. Last year's events must have been horrific. ((( )))

    Linda, my thoughts are with you. it is good that you are reminiscing and trying to remember the good things and your dad had loved ones with him to the end which was lovely.
    I know exactly how your sister felt we missed being with my dad at the end by minutes and if went though the if only (if only we hadn't waited for my brother, if only the hospital had rung sooner) I did work through it and eventually realised that there was nothing i could do to change it but i had to realise that myself and your sister will work her way through it.
    I am really glad you got to tell your dad everything you wanted to
    you are in my thoughts

    Hi Legs,

    Flower what you have gone through the last 12 months is so unfair and suicide is never an easy one for any family.

    I hope so much that knowing we are all thinking of you helps and leaving a (((((((((( )))))))))) and some fortitude and strength. Love Cris xx
