My father passed away yesterday, 3 hours away on a trip to meet up with old friends. Suspected heart attack.
I've never felt such emptiness, he was like a brother or best friend to me. My heart is absolutely broken, and I'll miss him forever. He's so far away right now. This feels like a nightmare.
Mr Lurcher, I'm so very sorry to hear this.
I lost my dad when I was 26. He was my best friend too, so I understand how you're feeling right now.
I thought my heart would never heal, but it did, and so will yours. It just doesn't feel that way at the moment..
If it helps any, I am reading that your dad died doing something nice? That will be of comfort to you one day..
Meanwhile, you have to be strong for your mum, and I'm sure you will be..
Sometime soon (if you haven't already) you'll be looking through photographs. Choose one of you and your dad and keep it close by so that you can remember the good times. I have one of me and my dad in Port Isaac in Cornwall (where they film Doc Martin). I'm about 4 years old and Dad has the BIGGEST set of side-burns ever! I look miserable but that was my standard photograph face. Dad has his arms around me and looks to be saying something to me? Most likely bribing me with an ice-cream lol. I look at it every day, and have done for 25 years. Mum's picture joined his 10 years ago, and I loved my parents so much that I want to be reminded of them every day, and that's as good a goal as I can think of..
It won't always hurt this much, I promise..
