My Amazing Dad passed away on Thursday. 

 

He was only diagnosed with High grade Non hodgkin lymphoma 7 weeks ago and had started chemo,but then somehow contracted Covid. 

 

I am angry at the World right now angry that someone gave him Covid when he was in such a weak and fragile way. 

 

I feel numb like it’s someone else’s Dad we are talking about, I was only just getting my head around the Cancer Diagnosis. 

 

Are these numb angry feelings normal?  I always thought I would be crying for hours on end but I just feel like it’s all happening but not connected to me.

Hi 

I’m sorry that your dad’s passing is the reason you’re posting.  Yes your feelings are totally normal.  Grief causes many different emotions.  

I wondered if this link might help you

This will hopefully let you see that you’re not alone in your feelings.  Many people experience this.  

Part of you will still be in shock from the speed at which it’s happened from his diagnosis.

If you have a Maggie’s Centre near you they will offer you support and a very safe place to talk about your feelings.
