My Dad. It’s only been 10 months so that’s probably normal, but honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever truly get over it. It was sudden and unexpected. Septic shock due to a burst appendix (which we learned four months later after the autopsy report was complete was actually due to appendix cancer which we never knew he had).
I had literally visited him with my son four days earlier for the Canada Day long weekend. Then I get a call that he’s in the hospital and I need to come immediately. I do the 3 hour drive at 5:30am from Edmonton to Calgary and get there and he dies 10 minutes later with me holding his hand. I never got to say goodbye.
