Leanne,
Sorry to hear your sad news. As others have said, the tears will come, I cried the night my Mum died but not bucket loads. It really hit me when I was at the grave side. I think the reason I hadn't sobbed before was that I was being the strong one for My Dad, brother and my 2 girls and brothers children.
Our family is very close and God forbide I don't know how I'll be when we lose Dad as I am his little girl, even though I'm the eldest and not so little (LOL).

Take care and you know we are here if you need us.

God Bless
Helen

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.

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.

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.

Pauline, my heart goes out to you too. XXX

I have warned my OH that i dont know when its going to come out, but i know it will. probably over something small!

Karen thank you.

Colin, i cried so much over the time i was looking after him, worry and watching him deterioate (spelling)
My sis is just the same though, we are keeping busy not thinking of it.

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.
