Thank you… I guess I just wasn’t really prepared for how hard it would be for my dad, and how gutted he was/is. There’s very little of comfort you can say to a 67 year old man who has been widowed twice.
It will get easier though, and he’s got three children who want to be in his life and support him, and six grandchildren who he loves. I’m going to cut him a front door key and send it to him, and just tell him that he can come up at no notice to get a breather.
Just feel like I’m totally winging being an adult sometimes!
