Dear June

We have lost our wonderful dad, who we loved with all our hearts.

We are heartbroken but are concerned about our mum, as she seems to have lost all interest in life since Dad died.

I have asked her to come and stay with my husband and I, but she won’t leave the house as she says she feels close to Dad there.

Can you let us know if he is finally at peace?

Angela, Lanarkshire.

June Says

The loss of a long-term partner is a hard grief to recover from as you try to adjust to life without that person by your side.

Losing a parent is also devastating but we naturally expect to outlive them.

The death of a partner changes the life of the person left behind, when they have no other option but to carry on with a new, different life.

This can be very hard, especially if they had been together for a long time.

Your mum will need time, patience and love during her period of grief as she slowly begins to accept that her partner will no longer be part of her physical life.

She will gradually adjust in her own time and way in a familiar, comforting environment, surrounded by the love and support you all give her.

I am very drawn to the month of May and feel it will be a turning point for your mum.

I’m impressed to say I sense your dad had been ill for some time before he passed. I am drawn to the chest/lung area.

I sense the presence of a loving, gentle man who would have been at his happiest when surrounded by family.

Most of his belongings are still in the places he left them. I am also shown many photographs scattered around on the floor as if they were being put in order.

I see a photograph of a man in an Army uniform looking very proud as he stands next to a young bride. (Your mum and dad?) I hear Cathy being called. Your dad is glad to be free of the restrictions his ailing physical body caused him.

He is very much at peace now and will remain close by the family he dearly loves.

VERDICT

Cathy (Catherine) is my younger sister’s name and also that of my dad’s mum.

Dad had been ill with emphysema for a long time.

He never complained throughout his illness and used to say all he wanted was for us to be close to him.

May 9 will be the first anniversary of his death. We are all dreading it and hope Mum will feel more settled after it passes.

We did sort through lots of photos and they were placed on the floor.

Mum and Dad’s wedding photo shows him in Army uniform. She was only 18 and my dad was 26.
