Sorry to hear that matey... :(

Lost my dad 2 months ago to the day... :(:(:( He had a long 18 month battle with cancer so it wasnt out of the blue but still upsetting. I know he is not in any pain any more which helps but still cant help missing him every day...
 
So sorry to hear about your loss mate, I lost my dad a couple of months before my 21st birthday to cancer - he was 43 :( time is a good healer. Make sure you allow yourself time to grieve and let it all out. My thoughts are with you and your family at this most dreadful of times.

Not sure if it really does ever heal, it just makes the anguish less intense.

OP - you have my sympathies, I lost my dad at 12 and it absolutely destroyed me back then. It took me years to get back to what seemed like normality. :/

Cling on to all the great memories. :)

Sincerest condolences to you and your family. May he rest in peace. It will be hard, but it will get easier. I wish you all the very best.
 
:( my dad only made it to 54 too (he had a similar don't want to be a burden attitude too, grumpy old Scots man)

Give your mum and sister a hug each and spend a bit of time with them. You don't even have to really force the conversation, they'll just appreciate being with you at a time like this.

May he rest in peace

Yesterday my father died. It seems unreal to me what happened and I'm lying in bed just stunned.

He collapsed at home last night with no warning, I arrived after a frantic phonecall from my sister to find two years of paramedics working on him, performing cpr. He was pronounced dead just after half eight, cause was massive heart attack. He was 54.

I found out later last night that he mentioned he had some tightness in the chest for the last few days, in his words nothing serious. He hated being any kind of burden.

I feel lost, I don't know what to do, my mother and sister have just shut down really. The next step is to register the death, I'm trying to focus on the necessary steps, but all I can think about is if I'll be able to speak at the service, if I can put into words what my father meant to me, can I do right by him.

I'm truly lost.

It'll be tough but you'll find your way and you'll be there for your mother and sister. You'll also find that not only can you speak at the service, you can speak well and convey how much your dad meant to you and everyone who knew him.

Do right by him :)
 
Same happened to my old man 8 Years ago... totally out of the blue.

Time heals, Stick together help each other as much as you can. Cry if you need to.

You will get through it
 
Sorry to hear that mate, I lost my mum about 3 years ago very suddenly, its a big shock so just take your time. Just remember all the good times.
 
Sorry to hear that, my condolences to you and your family. I can't really offer any advice other than stay positive, you'll get thorough it in time.
 
My deepest condolences.

I've yet to loose a close family member myself so can't even imagine the heart ache you must be going through.
 
You must be in a complete state of shock..had something very similair happen to me a couple of years ago...try and stay strong for your Mother and Sis .
 
My sincerest condolences to you & yours.

I cannot begin to imagine what this feels like, I am fortunate that I have not yet been in that situation.
