I realise...


I realise I'm a daughter without a father.
I realise my mum is without her husband.
I realise my children have no grandad.
 
I realise that I'm sad.
I realise that I'm grieving.
I realise that things change.
 
I realise I'm a lone parent.
I realise I'm single.
I realise I'm the only breadwinner in the family.
 
I realise that some days I'm not coping too well.
 
I realise that I'm not a miracle worker.
I realise I'm only human.
I realise I need to look after myself.
I realise I need to start getting back on track.
I realise this can only happen bit by bit.
I realise I should accept the support offered around me.
I realise there isn't a start and end date to this.
I realise that this is my new life and I now have to learn to live again.
 
I realise...
 
About the Author
I'm a daughter grieving for the loss of a wonderful dad, who was taken so suddenly by Cancer. I'm now in this wilderness of grief and I have come across this page and many others where I can now find support in others words and experiences. I too would hope that my words can help someone, wherever in the world they may be, because grief is something that will touch everyone at some point in their lives.
I'm Grieving, Now What?
