Daddy in Mourning.

[Little_Twinkle]

I need some advice here. I have only been with my daddy for a week now and he got some terrible news of a passing in his family. We are in a LDR and I really want to be there for him but he says he can't talk to me today. What should I do to show him that I am there and really care without seeming like a leech.

I would send him a message saying that you are sorry for his loss and that when he feels better you are there for him and that he doesnt have to answer your message until he feel like he can. When i lost my brother at the age of 14 i didnt talk to anyone for a week, my friends respected it and that was something I needed. I needed time alone. Not everyone is like me but thats what I needed.

You should give him the space he is asking for and not make a big deal out of it. just assure him that if he needs to talk that you are there.

I agree with the ubov comments.. Give him his space but still send an sms telling him you will always be there for him.

Hope things are OK - I've lost a few friends and family, and I can tell you, there's nothing nicer than just knowing other people are thinking of you - and sending you loving vibes. Just let him know once or twice a day. Don't worry if he takes a few days to respond normally again - I know it can be hard in an LDR as all you want to do is hug your friend, but time will heal him.

Hi Twinkle, I am a little who's daddy is away a lot for work, at the moment he is away until the end of June. A family member of mine passed away recently as well, so I can give you a similar perspective to what your daddy may be feeling (but ofc everyone is different in how they react). 
It's super hard being away from you SO at a time like this.. if it's any possibility to fly over to see him (not sure where he is?) I would give it a go. Even just for a weekend, getting a hug might be enough to support him for a while. Phone calls are so helpful, my daddy calls me everyday before bed so we can talk and it cheers me up so so much. Personally, if I said I didn't want to talk to my daddy I would want him to text me for a little bit but then say something like 'I'll text you at 8:00pm tonight' so it gives me plenty of time alone but reminds me he will be there for me again. Obviously, completely different people will feel differently but hopefully my story can comfort you or give some tips. Xo

I am trying my best to be there for him. He did show signs of life today so at least there's hope. Just have to wait this out and hope for the best really. I am sorry for losses. **hugs and kisses**

 

Thanks so much to you all
