Simon - I am simply stunned by your news and can barely think what to write.
You have my heart felt sympathies and condolences.
This year's "Children In Need" featured a charity that helps children find ways of coping with loss of a parent.
My younger brother died when I was 15 and back then you were just left to get on with it by yourself.
Personally, I think it would have been a big help to talk to a professional all those year ago, as death was (& still is) a taboo subject for many.
Make sure you take some time to look after yourself too.
If ever you think a big weekend of manual labour will help you make progress on the house, just let us know.
I'd be happy to travel and muck in and I'm sure many others on here would too.
Take care, Paul.
