Sadly we had just moved him from Kent where he was living into a retirement flat in Lincolnshire where we live and he was only in the flat for 6 months to the day. Much of what you said was so much like dad - fiercely independent to the end. Thoughts are with you and others in similar circumstances.

My dear Mum passed away at the end of last January. I wasn't prepared for how hard it hit me, nor how much it affected me physically. Look after yourself.

But, cliche though it is, time blunts the pain to a dull ache. You will live, and go on, and continue being the woman your dad was so proud of.

I know when my Dad died, I was a basket case, I couldn't stop crying over a man that never loved me. People came up to me telling me what a great man he was, but I didn't want to hear that, I wanted to be left alone with my pain. Even after 20 plus yrs, I still feel guilty for not doing enough to mend the invisible fences we had between us. I wish you God's Holy Spirit to comfort you Milly, we all handle the loss of a love one differently, but it's how we land back on our feet that's important. I wish I could say or do more for you, but know so many are praying for you. God bless.philleftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13207314510492621442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894364337349289507.post-8971845733740649042019-12-28T21:03:40.285+00:002019-12-28T21:03:40.285+00:00Wrapping you in a hug, Milly x x xWrapping you in a hug, Milly x x xJan Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471022034388834235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894364337349289507.post-20990472281559697902019-12-28T10:00:44.774+00:002019-12-28T10:00:44.774+00:00Beautiful tribute to what sounds like a wonderful ...Beautiful tribute to what sounds like a wonderful man, it resonates with me having lost my father 5 years ago, time helps but he left a gaping hole in our lives, love to you and yours sewingkillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05677716427237016284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894364337349289507.post-34296316385837034392019-12-28T09:34:32.571+00:002019-12-28T09:34:32.571+00:00I think he will be well proud of you.

I am currently in a similar situation and my father has recently passed away very suddenly, it is so hard to wrap your head around the speed and impact such an event has on you and the pain it leaves behind.
