My father died. He was prepared and wanted to go for a long time, but it’s hard. It’s even harder for me because he wanted to be independent and live over 300 miles away from us. He was here for Christmas. He rarely calls. He does his church stuff and that is his, oh was his whole life. Bro said I needed to sit down and write or I would never be okay. He passed away 10 days ago, they are estimating. They finally went in because he hadn’t picked up his mail. We call him every day and leave messages and he returns the call about every two weeks. It’s been about an hour that I have known. I guess you don’t “feel” a loss when they actually die. I am numb.
I kept crying and Bro yelled “so write about it. That might help you. You have to stop crying.”
He doesn’t need this stress on top of everything else.
I’m lost.
I did what he asked.
This is so sad and so very few had reached out to you. I am so sorry.
It is okay. Many people here don’t even read the posts at all. I have come to expect less and less each day.
My heart breaks for you. So sorry I am just reading this. You know you can message me any time. I can listen if nothing else. Remember the good times. Hugs to you my friend. Remember, those we love and lose never go away, they are now wherever we are.
I wish I knew for certain that he is with my mom.
i am so sorry. I know the relationship wasn’t what you had with your mother, but it is still hard to lose a parent.
My you find peace today.
I sure hope that he found my Mom and she is with him.
that is a happy thought to build on! That they are together again!
Oh, that has to be hard. I am so sorry. I am just void right now.
May almighty grant rest in peace to the departed soul.
Thank you. I didn’t want to burden anyone I am just, greivning I guess.
I sympathize with your loss. Your brother is right though keep on writing and tell his story through your writing. Again all my condolences…
Thank you. I thought I was more prepared, but I am not.
Virtual hugs to you. So sorry for the loss of your father. I lost mine at 10 and I have missed him all my life. I am sorry you did not get to see him again. All my blessings and prayers to you. Our fathers never leave us but stay around to watch over us. If you can find a nice photo of your father, prop it up, and light a candle. I greatly helps to reflect.
I found a picture of the two of us when I was only three. That might be nice.
A great idea. I have photos of me and my dad when I was little saved up in my PC and I always love to look at them
