Any one have any advice on dealing with loss and grief?

I don't really have anyone to talk to. My Dad passed March 6 from Sepsis, I watched him twice a day, everyday for two months struggle in hospital, then I arrived at afternoon visiting time to find my Dad had took a bad turn in the night and the nurses said they never had TIME to CALL us, by this time he had JUST lost his ability to talk, so I feel they stole our last lucid minutes with him, then I spent the next 12 hours comforting my Dad as he passed away. He was my BEST friend. He fixed everything with a coffee and a cuddle, he understood my personality disorder and was the only person I could speak to. I am heartbroken now he is gone. Can any one relate of give advice on coping? I am now also my Papas full time carer since he passed (my Dad and I split caring between us before he got ill too) and care for my 3 year old daughter, so it's hard to even find the time for myself, or to grieve.

Thanks to anyone who listened.

I hope it helped you just writing it all down on here, do talk about your feelings, and expect to feel guilt, anger, blame, denial and lots of feelings during this time. My father passed in March after a sudden illness, it's getting easier, but still hits me hard sometimes.

@Spectre128 Aw, I hope you are okay, sorry for your loss, too! Yeah, it has helped a bit. And you described exactly how I feel! I hope your loss gets easier with time too!

@NataliaStrange it's difficult to grieve if you are busy too, try to take some time out to remember the good times, look through a photo album, or reminisce with any other family members.

Take care of yourself to.x
