Dear @Anastasia , what you must be going through 😞
All I can do is send many wishes for you and all your family as your grieve, and as you arrange your Dad's affairs and his funeral. 😞
I don't even know if there are Covid restrictions on funerals in NSW...
I'm thinking of you all lots and wishing you much strength at this awful time.
Sending you much 💚 and hugs...

Thank you all, my boy came home yesterday so I'm back to juggling.
He is a concern to me and I am supporting him as the reality hit him only yesterday.
This situation is unbearable difficult.
Dads service is Monday so busy organising things.
Sending all that are reading love and thank you for your messages and support 🙏😭💔

Thanks for the update, dear @Anastasia ...
Your boy out of hospital early? I am sending wishes that he will cope, and you too.

I really feel for you, you are carrying so many people, plus yourself, at this awful time...
I'm aware your Mum desperately didn't want your Dad to leave her (by that note she made him sign), so I'm wondering if she's coping...?
Also whether your boss will give you some time off?
I am wishing for little scraps of time to yourself...just to check in with yourself and grieve...don't know if that's possible...
Sending many wishes and lots of hugs and 💚

I am praying it is good for your son to be with you at this time. Good for his reality checking and just seeing you all cope with grief and the practical things. I do hope there is discharge support for him, to help you and him and I hope he can he offer a hug and a look to help heal ... and bond.
