Hi Sallyz,
I'm so sorry for your loss also. Its true life must go on regardless of how shitty we feel. But I've always been a beleiver in the when one door closes another opens, its a very humbling and distressing experience when you see a loved one die before you as I did, you realise the fragility of life and how its important to live for today, not worry about was yesterday and not to waot fpr tommorow for it may not come.
You sound so positive and at peace in your heart, and I'm getting there 🙂 The most important thing for me is to honour my father's memory for making things better for others, this experience has changed my life. And I hope that all of us that still do remember and for those that suffer, that shortly they will find cures so others don't suffer the same way.
Thank you for your lovely response.
