New here-lost my Dad
| Wed, 08-29-2007 - 4:02pm |
Hello everyone,
My Dad would have been 62 today. He passed away unexpectedly on June 11,2007. I miss him so much my heart is breaking. We were so close and I can't get used to the fact that I won't talk to him or see him again, he was a constant in my life. I'm grieving for him and for all the happy things we would have done together. People say it gets easier with time but I don't see how.
I'm thankful for this board and hope I can offer some support as well.

I am so so sorry for the loss of your sweet dad. I lost my dad July 28, 2007, to lung cancer. He had been living with us for the past year because of 2 strokes he suffered. I too miss my dad.
It is ok to feel the way you do sweetheart. This is a big loss and it is so fresh and raw. Sometimes keeping a journal of your feelings does help. You could also contact your local Hospice and see if they can recommend any grief counselors to you. I have always said tears make room for smiles and happy memories.
I am so glad you came to this board. You are safe here. We have two wonderful cl's and the ladies are wonderful and so supportive and caring. It has been said that this is a soft place to land and believe me it is. You also have to remember to take care of yourself and of your health. Remember it would be what your dad would want you to do. When you feel up to it, maybe you could tell us somethings about your dad, we would love to hear about him.
and about you and the rest of your family. Give yourself some time to grieve. Yes, it does get better with time, but better in a different way. You never forget, you never miss, you never stop loving your lost one. Later you can do it with more smiles and happy memories and yes, even laughter.
You take care sweetie and we welcome you with open arms.
Love ya
Gail

Hello Peaceful
I am so sorry about your Dad. I am Beth, one of the cls here. I joined this board after my sister died in 2004. My mom died in 2001. Neither loss was very unexpected, but painful nonetheless.
Time doesn't heal all wounds. It does, however, scab over the really raw parts. I can think of Mama and Geri with smiles sometimes now, and not the wretched grief. Sadness.
It is so hard, though. Don't pretend you don't feel the way you do. I know sometimes we have to show a different face, but as long as I don't lie to
Lynn,
I am sorry for the loss of your Dad. I to lost my Dad but I was vey young but it still hurts even after many years. I also lost my son severals years ago.But the pain does get better. you will never forget your Dad but there is what we grieving parents call a "new normal", because we say we will never be normal again. Please take care of yourself and don't try to rush the grieving process. It takes a lot of time... You are in my prayers.
Love Deborah
