Hope she gets everything sorted and feels better soon.
Ahhh mate, I’m so sorry. All I can offer is the old cliche that time is a great healer. The grief never completely goes away, of course, but it does get easier.
It’s been 15 years for me, but he still pops up in my dreams now and then, and my lads (both born after he died) know all about him and bring him up in conversations from time to time, which is a nice feeling for me.
Best of luck, and love to you and your family.
es really quick but tell your gf to get signed off with 'workplace stress' if work is the only thing making her ill. She should also put it in the accident book - workplace stress is like any other industrial injury. That should prompt her employer to take some action like looking into reasonable adjustments for her and a stress risk assessment. If the workplace is unionised I suggest she gets them involved.
Hi, I'm just catching up with this thread. So sorry about your Dad. I lost my Dad April 2023 - he was 85 and I'm blessed to have had him for 63 years. I understand your feelings, I miss my Dad every day but now manage to smile at the things would make him mad (in no particular order Everton, politicians and next door's trees that dared to drop leaves on his lawn). I hope you get to that point, however long it takes. I do also still find myself thinking 'I must ring Dad'

I lost my dad to lymphoma 6 years ago and was 28 thankfully it was over quickly so the pain wasn't there anymore. Forever in my mind especially at times of my kids birthdays etc. Just give yourself a constant reminder and believe he is there watching your every move it helped me so much. Thinking of you mate an inbox is open even if you want a chat etc

Thanks, she did get signed off in the end, but through calling 111 as her normal GP didn't offer her an appointment for nearly a week..she got it on the day with 111.
Her manager did send her a 'nice' text saying it is his fault, that he will make changes to help her etc. obviously that's what most people would say/do anyway but he isn't like that so hopefully it's a step in the right direction but we'll see. Work have offered some free counselling sessions too which I think she is going to take. It's a shame it had to go this far, but I did say signing off might be the only way to get change
Make sure you keep that text mate and she should also take up the offer of councelling too.
If she ever has to leave due what’s going on, the text admitting it’s his fault could become quite important.
The councillor will help her understand why she’s feeling like she is and teach her coping mechanisms

Thanks, didn't think of that. Yeah I'm sure that will be enough, she has been offered meds which she was surprised about seeing that this as only just happened but she wants to avoid them
I've been telling her for ages that work, along with the house renovation/her parents at ours all the time that it was going to get her at one point and then it did in a massive way so I'm hoping how we live at home will change a bit too
I appreciate it may be a difficult with your domestic circumstances, but getting her to do some exercise would deffo help her and also give her a bit of a break away from everything, even if it`s only for an hour or so ?

Yeah she is going to try get back into yoga, and her fitness workout of doing the choreography in r n b music videos ha. She also sings for 'therapy' but she has had chance to go any of that due to a constantly crowded house. I hopefully once the stress goes a little she can enjoy them again
I think she'll go for walks on her own too, to get out the house

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
you are going to do what you did the previous 2 times, you are going to go out and get another job.. even if it takes some time, use that time to do a few short courses, there's plenty on line, some are free to do.
All our free courses
Spot on from @Tipp blue
You’ve fallen twice and got up 3 times already; dust yourself off and go again.
