Dad died yesterday

[SWMBO1950]

Sorry to hear about your Dad.

My only advice would be to think long and hard about not attending the funeral - you cannot have a repeat.

However if you feel for you own sake you wont attend then so be it. If you see your dad at the funeral home and say your goodbyes - in private - that will be worth any amount of agravation on the day.

Very best Wishes to you and take heart from the fact that your dad is now at peace xx

I am truly saddened on reading your post this evening. Poor you. I am so sorry for you.

My Aunt recently passed away. I loved her dearly and as she lay in hospital in her last hours my stupid cousin sent out a list of invited guests to her passing. I was included bit decided not to go as there was obvious offence caused to people I love and respect, those who were not invited.
I did not attend the funeral. I stood outside the Church and said goodbye to my Aunt alone. To be honest it felt right and I have no regrets.
Saying goodbye to someone you love can be done anywhere, any time. It is a process which is between you and them and although they cannot answer, I believe that they can hear.
Look forward to a dream when you can communicate again. I believe this happens to us when someone we love leaves. One morning you will awake, having had the best, most reassuring dream of your life and you will be happy knowing they are settled in their new place.
Funerals and other people are not important.
Take care,
Ephraim

Hi, there are no words to say that can make this better, there is no wrong or right, you do what you want to do. You have been there for your Dad the whole time, not out of duty but out of the pure love you feel for him, which shines through and anyone who cannot see that is a fool.

I totally agree with wdfortyplus and also 150% with Ephraim, take comfort we are all with you.
