Hello Kim. I am so very sorry to hear of your sad loss. Your father was very young. Coping with a death is never easy, especially when you have only recently being given a diagnosis. It just seems so unfair not to be given the time to adjust and accept the situation. Grieving and bereavement is a very individual and personal experience and will never be the same for 2 people. The older we get the more loved ones we seem to lose and it never gets any easier. As others have said, each day can only be taken one at a time and some will be a little easier than others. The loss does not diminish, we just learn to live with it and hopefully whenever we remember our loved ones their memories will bring a smile to the face.
