I was off for several weeks in similar circumstances earlier this year. Incredible commitment, and I hope the players and fans can lift him up. |  | | |  |

After my dad passed I read something that said walk slowly through your grief, take time to remember and be prepared for random moments when memories came into your mind, all too quickly those moments will pass and you will come to miss them, so walk slowly through your grief In hindsight it was better advice than I realised at the time |  |

Best wishes buh. And yeah the admin is the last thing you want. I won’t tell you how long it took to sort out my dad’s very straightforward stuff; it would only depress you. |  |

Everyone who goes through it has to deal with it in their own way. There’s no right or wrong. Just what works for you. For me, I worked alongside doing what had to be done domestically when my mum passed away. I found it for me cathartic, though it could be interpreted as a cowards way out and distraction. But it wasn’t the latter. It’s just what I felt worked. Tbf, my employers were very supportive and let me do what needed to be done without pressure. I’ve no doubt ITFC will do the same - in supporting people beyond the humane rightness of it, it’s very mutually beneficial. |  | |  |

I still dream of my father sometimes, even more than a quarter of a century later. |  |

That's good advice. I've found that grief comes in waves. I've coped better than I ever thought I would, though. The worry of how I would cope was worse than the actual coping! |  |
