So sorry to hear that Suity. I’ve had a tough week myself with some news regarding my son. Was thinking of posting about it, but it pales in comparison to what you and your family are now going through.

may you and your family find comfort and strength amongst each other during the tough days ahead.

I’m sure I speak for everyone here when I say we’re thinking of you and here for you

Hey all - really important you look after you. My team at Parramatta Psychology clinic have been supporting people for many years - league is dear to my heart and so are you all. I’ve been on the forum for over 15 years - reading, less posting. Grief is hard. I lost my grandmother in the last 3 months and the family has taken it really hard. So please take my advice and go see someone - we have a great team of 35 psychologists around Sydney who can assist - just for another viewpoint or to vent. Keep strong, be safe!

So. it has just gone 3 am and yes, I need to download a bit. I've just returned from the nursing home.

And, after I typed that sentence, I have sat here for 10 minutes and just can't actually. Maybe another time.

Thanks for those thoughts above, people.

Sorry to hear this Suitman - very tough losing a parent, no matter what age or circumstances.

Thinking of you and everything you're going through today, and in the coming days and weeks (and inevitably grief through months and years). And when it's hardest remember the power of self care and reaching out.

Sorry to hear about your dad Suity, losing a parent at any time can be tough no matter what the circumstances.

All the best to you and your family.

Condolences mate, that's really shit to hear.

We all know how close you were, whilst that makes it harder, it also makes all the time you had more valuable.

Allow yourself to grieve and remember.

But most of all take care of you and yours.

Really sorry to hear that mate, that’s terrible news. Take care of yourself and the family and try to remember all of the amazing times you had with him.

Thank you everyone for your kind caring thoughts and comments. It has been a crazy and at times rather morbid 3 days organising a funeral, choosing a grave site and organising a wake. There are also so many other things to arrange such as to who will do readings at the church service and preparing the prayer book, a pic collage for dad, deciding music, choosing food at the wake, etc.... I'm proud that my kids will be playing a part and proud of them to having the courage to do so.
It's worse than organising a wedding as everything has to be done so quickly.
Yet, it will be a celebration of my dad's life and that is how we are preparing it.

I understand many of you have been through this before. We as an immediate family have not. Yet, we have all pulled together and it has been arranged very quickly. The funeral will be this Friday.

I have woken up each of the past 3 mornings still not believing I do not have a dad anymore after 58 years but appreciate the fact I'd had one for much longer than many others, and for that I am truly grateful.
He will forever be my guiding light, my strength and the person who has led me to be the person I am today.
