Because of the sudden course of events, my mother has been having a really hard time accepting this and as much as i want to help her...i know she needs to mourn and accept it. She has recently told me that at night she feels a cold breeze and feels my dad's hands on her and actually sees him. I want to believe that it is him coming to comfort her...has any one experienced something similar?
Yes, I have. My father died of cancer beginning July 2004. He was diagnosed with cancer in May 2004. Doctors told us he had 6 months to live, but passed away 6 weeks later. As you said, this alos came as a major shock to all the family, we were all devastated, and my mum was heart broken. My parents were happily married for 30 years too. Mum was only 54 when he passed away and dad was only 57.
Time does heal, and please don't get mad when I say this, because I know I used too. Your mum will come to terms and realise that life does go on. All you can do is be there for her in every way possible. Show her how strong you are and she will follow route.
Mum used to and still has dreams of dad, and she used to feel his presence when she used to go to bed. That's not a bad thing at all.
