Fuckin hell mate my condolences 

cant even begin to imagine how you feel 

Nowt wrong there pal; express it how you want.

A difficult time, and one many of us will empathise with.

Talk to whoever will listen if it helps.

Sympathies and best wishes.

Sorry for your loss Escobarp

Sorry for your loss.

I know it has helped others - myself included - when posting on here after losing a close family member, so nowt wrong at all with that.

Losing a parent genuinely leaves a big hole in your life and it can be a very long road before things begin to feel better, but just remember that others have been through something similar so you’re never alone in that sense.

One thing I would certainly say is that it is easy to be running around after the rest of the family to make sure they’re all ok etc, but the main thing is allow time for yourself and look after number one first and foremost. 

Sorry to hear that sad news Escobarp. I lost my mother on 26th January.

My dad had his 90th last weekend. Looking forward to seeing him again in late May/early June and news like this only makes me look forward to it even more.

Sincere condolences mate.

 

Sorry to hear your news lost my dad 3.5 years ago.

Sorry to hear, RIP Escobarp Snr

Sorry for your loss pal.

It is good to post it if you feel you need to. Don't bottle it up or it will hit you and that will make it even worse. 

 

Sorry for your loss. RIP.

Sorry to hear your sad news Escobarp, i did the same and posted it on here when my old fella passed away in 2006, dunno why i posted it but it made me feel a tad better at the time, it was sort of therapeutic somehow. Condolences to Bolty also for his recent loss, all the best mate.

Sorry for your loss mate. Whether it’s expected or sudden, nothing prepares you. 😪
 

I’m at Bolton Royal now just signing a DNR form for Mummy Spider, she’s on her last legs unfortunately. 
I also buried my nephew last month (similar age to me and we grew up as brothers really), he drank himself to death at the age of 42.

2020 can go fuck itself as hard as it can.
