Hi Leanne

Losing someone close affects us all in so many different ways. There are no direct ways of how we should feel at the time. We are all here for you at anytime you feel you need someone.

Leanne,

My heart goes out for you. I know the pain and the feelings having lost my Mum at Easter. The tears will come, but we all deal with the grief in our own ways.

Take care.

Bless You Leanne being a carer for a long period of time is very hard and seeing the degeneration of our loved ones over that time, I believe we go through an early pre grieving process. I know that feeling. Although I have yet to experience the final time myself. Sometimes we feel we have to be strong for those around us also and cry our tears alone.

Your dad must really have been very proud of you.

My sympathy to you Leanne for the loss of your dad.

I know the pain, and can only say remember the good times you spent together, they will help to keep you going.

Colin, I cant cry infront of people.
Ive looked after my dad for a long time, doing his washing/ironing, cutting his hair, housework,
but it was different when he was ill, cos he just gave up. So hard.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
