My father died today...

this is really sad...i can't imagine my life without my dad...
my condolences to you and your family 🙁
 
My deepest sympathies to you and your family, I can't imagine what struggle you must be going through. I wish you all the best of luck.
 
I have the sudden urge to call my parents right now. 😱

Too bad I can't. Time zone difference. 🙁 Whenever I think of calling them, I forget to the next day. I'd have to do it from my mobile while I'm at work, and I just don't remember.

I'll try to remember tomorrow and remember this thread.

My condolences.
 
I'm reading this thread and almost breaking down in the middle of work.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
 
Dear OP

Sorry to hear that. I truly understand how you are feeling because both of my parents are gone. I wasn't even 18 years old yet when my Mom died and like you with your dad, I walked in one day and found her on the couch. As soon as I saw her I knew what happened.

Having gone through this myself, I know there isn't allot I can say to help other than a year from now, it will be a bit easier to handle but you will still miss him as much as you do right this minute.

You will have dreams about him and in them you will still be able to be with him and hear him talk and it will be just as if he were still here. I have lots of dreams like that about my parents and it makes me happy because I get to hear their voices and I get to hug my mom in them.

Surround yourself with your remaining family and hug them and tell them you love them every single day. I wish you all the best.
 
love and healing to you during such a trying time. please take care of yourself during all of this, too. keep your friends and family close, if that is something that helps you.

Yeah, I do that too. Not as often as before. It's been two years, and 3-1/2 since my mother died. I still miss them both very much.

Every time I come home and walk in the door, I say I love you guys and I miss you. My mom and dads picture is the first thing I see when I walk in the door. I don't think I have missed a day in saying that since they've been gone.

Please forgive this post but my father passed away today. I still can't believe that he is gone. I miss him so much. I wish I could have told him how much I loved him one more time. I am so sad. I wish this was a dream....


I hope all of you take time to tell those you love how much you DO love them. My father was 69 and this was very sudden. Don't let any time slip by....

Sorry to hear this news of your loss.
Things maybe difficult, but don't have any regrets regarding what you should or shouldn't have done or said before he died.
The fact that you've been his child has been the most happiest thing for him, and I think most people (if they had a choice) would want to go fast, as opposed to a long drawn-out sickness.

The most important thing now is "You"!
Don't be afraid to talk about the situation, don't hold it all inside and don't be afraid to go see a 'Bereavement Counsellor', it's an emotional investment that will pay off for your future.
Losing a loved one is one of the most stressful things that can happen to any human being, it's not something that's taught to us in school and how to deal with it, so don't be afraid to talk it through with somebody.

Much respects...
