Grieving — My Father Passed

My father passed away. His illness and death took us by surprise. We had no idea that he had lung cancer, nor that his infection was severe, until last week.
Thank you for your love, support, and prayers.

I’m so sorry to learn of your loss. It’s always hard to lose your parents. My thoughts are with you, Kitt.

Kitt – you are in our thoughts and prayers – Death is inevitable, yet the loss of a close friend or family member always showers us with a range of emotions. Stay strong and pray…

I’m soo soo sorry to hear this Kitt. I know just how you are feeling after the sudden death of both my parents. You don’t realise how much they meant to you, even if they are old and needed you and roles were maybe reversed, until they are gone. Take your time, don’t expect too much of yourself, it’s OK however you are feeling, lean on others, be kind to yourself.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family x

bipolarsojourner April 24, 2018 at 9:18 pm

i always say death of a loved one puts a hole in a heart. no matter the effort, that hole can never be filled. It may to get to the point where there are only little gaps. those little gaps will work as a constant reminder of what you once had. my blessings and condolences to you and your family.
if you don’t want some friendly advice stop here,
please remember self-care is not and indulgence but necessity. I may be selfish, but I want you around today, tomorrow and many more tomorrow.s

p.s. I was looking through your book “Blogging for Bipolar Mental Health” and I came across this extraordinary post “My Dad, the Hero” when you lived in Saudi Arabia – what an incredible account- it’s a fitting depiction of a truly amazing person! ?
