Dear Nicola
I understand how you feel I lost my dad on the 20th December 2011 5 days before Christmas after 27 days in ITU.
He too had only had the illness from April 2011 we could not beleive what was happening or indeed what has happened – that we lost our most precious dad its so sereal!
Its still very raw and we cope the best way we know how only time and support will help ease the loss.
There is nothing I can say to ease the pain and sadness just try and remeber the good times and the things you have done and hopefully like me and my family the pain will ease.
God Bless
