[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2332976, member: 400972"] Oh [USER=528072]@Carlyh210[/USER] , I so understand what you are going through, my Dad died too 5 months ago. I now have to help out my elderly mother even more than before and we live a distance apart too, while helping hubby and two adult kids who have their own challenges in this dystopian world we live in now. I can’t advise about your type 1 as I’m a type 2, but mental health wise if you’re in the U.K. you can refer yourself to local mental health services, you don’t have to go through your GP.

I was told that I would never stop grieving for my Dad but it does get easier to cope with. I was told this at the beginning and just thought everyone says that but it’s true, it is much more easy to remember the good times with my Dad now. Another thing that was suggested was on significant days, so Father’s Day, his birthday etc... to write a letter to your Dad saying all the things you would have said to him if he was still here.
