1. Introduction to the topic
This topic came about by thinking about how we react to reading about or hearing about other people’s losses.
It hits my sister and I on so many levels, to the point that we are stunned into silence. We are stunned into silence but deeply feeling the pain, sadness, worry, and unknown of the people who are going through these things. It sometimes also makes us feel like we do not know what to say.
This might sound or seem strange as we have our blog and are in effect exposing our life and our experiences.
But the way in which we react to hearing about others makes us realise how much the loss of our Dad has affected us. It’s a loss like we’ve never ever known. It’s an experience we’ve never ever known. We have experienced losses that affected us deeply, but the loss of our dad hit differently.
Unfortunately, people experience loss on a daily basis. It is a part of life, but no matter what, once you experience a loss that hits you hard, you’ll never be the same again.
We are not saying this to cast negativity as grief can change you in many ways, however, we are just saying that once you experience a loss of this kind that truly affects you, the course of your life can change.
This topic was first drafted in 2021, and for some reason, it hasn’t ever been published. As we look over it today and feel it is the right time to publish it, we are watching 24 hours in A&E. At the end of these shows they give an update of the people who featured in the episode. When the music plays a certain way you can tell it is not going to be happy news. In this particular episode, a patient who was suffering from MS had been admitted with a severe case of sepsis due to an infection.
After a short stay in the hospital, she was admitted to her home where she passed away. When her husband was talking about how it happened, her funeral, the person she was, and how he will always remember her in everything because she was his everything. I felt that feeling deep within, and really truly felt for him. It was the final decision time to publish this topic is now.

Because of these reasons, we decided we wanted to make this a topic.

2.1 I felt completely in the dark about the reality of grief until my Dad died
“(2 Jan 2002 — “Nothing prepares you for losing someone, but I felt completely in the dark about the reality of grief. Comment). “

“(10 Sept 2019) — Many people believe that there are stages of grief and that one goes through phases ending with acceptance of the loss and “being ok again.” …
2.3 The Reality of Growth and Grief: Where the he’ll is rainbow? – What’s your Grief?
“ Fact #1: Grief doesn’t always lead to growth or transformation. It always makes you a different person, but it doesn’t always make you a ‘better’ person”.
“The modern definition of grief is keen mental suffering or distress over a loss or affliction—a sharp sorrow—a painful regret. At the very heart of the grief definition is intense sorrow. Grief is a deep emotional response to a great loss”.
“Although the intensity of your feelings may lessen over time, there is no timetable for how long you will grieve. The length of time is different for each person. For most people their mourning period is a long process and it can take years”.
3. Our final thoughts
A friend of mine sent me a reel on Instagram recently. The basis of the message was that when someone passes away, you gain guidance from the other side. This statement resonates highly for my sister and I. Our Dad sadly passed away 6 years ago. To this day with each year that goes by, it does not get any easier the reality of our loss. But one thing we do believe is that we are still getting guidance from our dad.
This has been and continues to be a spiral of a learning journey. A loss that we have never experienced before, a loss that has forever changed us, but we have felt some sort of comfort along the way whenever we feel our dad is giving us guidance.
We hope this topic might be of use to those who read it.
