[Closed] What is it with me?

John, i'm sorry for your loss mate.

My Dad died two weeks ago. He went to work as normal and collapsed with a massive stroke. He was only 59 didn't smoke, didn't drink and was a keen cyclist. I didn't get my chance to say goodbye properly.

The only thing getting me through this is keeping busy and looking out for my Mum, Sis, Wife and Baby. I feel as if i've not had my time to grieve yet. I'm dreading it hitting home when it finally does.

John, Futureboy77 and all the others who have recently lost a loved one, all I can say is I understand what you're going through.

T.J. is completely correct, grief does affect us in different ways. It may all come out at once or even a year later. When it does, don't fight it.

Barca - I remember that ride well.

John its Dylan 🙂

Now I understand, Yep I'll take you up on your offer soon.

Just like to add my condolences.

For those who have followed this thread I just thought I'd let you know that mum lost her long battle against Alzeimers this morning.

Both died of different things and within 17 days of each other.

They are happy and at rest now.

Sorry to hear that John, I just saw your photo from today over on the Flickr group. I lost my father very suddenly and unexpectedly back in the early summer. I'm constantly wracking my brains over it most days. It just dosen't seem fair or right. I was touched by the cards of condolences from most of our family's friends. They just seemed to know what to write, often over several pages and in great detail. Maybe they've had more practice than I have. Death of a close one is still a novel experience for me. Anyway, sorry and I hope it all goes well for you from now on. HTH.

Some lovely posts on here. Real honest and open.

I don't know you but sorry to hear of your loss JohnClimber.

Condolences from the Sandwich family.

John I had a text from Mark this morning about your mum, that and my wife having another bad fall caused my office door to be closed and me having a good cry.

I know your a determined chap but you must be going through all sorts of emotions at the moment. Please accept myself & Carolyn's thoughts/support in these sad times

Cheers MrO

Now it's all over I've been talking to Finn's Dad about a wet the babies head and bacon bap ride in a couple of weeks time.

I hope you can make it.

Don't tell anyone of course

John thats rough mate - condolences. As you say at peace together.

Keep on being [i]"Irritatingly Chipper"[/i] despite all that life deals us

Sorry to hear of your news John, I lost my Dad in similar circumstances to yours (mam died 12 years ago) and you'll realise that they are at peace, and out of their pain and suffering. That realisation was a great comfort to me. Take some time for yourself now, take care.

Sorry for your loss John
