I hope he would that's for him, he's up there in heaven if he was a good christian. Mourning is ok and natural, but next time this year you should celebrate its what I would want at least, not celebrate his death but his Resurrection with the Lord! |

ScoutsOUT User ID: 71265184 United States 04/26/2016 08:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Death only really seems to affect the living.. It really could be the most beautiful, enlightening, and freeing thing we ever go through. Most people have a negative connotation of death, but in reality we just don't know. My father is 75 years old, and he doesn't take care of himself at all. I don't want to see him go, but I know it's inevitable at some point. I've resolved to be thankful for the time we have together, and in the meantime just try to make his life as comfortable as possible. 5* Green. Hope you feel better.

Quoting: Spoonful of Sugar Thanks for letting me vent. Yes....feel the grief. Let it wash over you. Grief honours those we love. Time will heal. But for now...cry..mourn..feel it...embrace it. For it is the highest honour you can give your father. Collect some tears in a small bottle...and leave them in his coffin..as an eternal memorial to your love for him. He gave you life...in death..give him honour. The highest form of love. Now cry...some special tears...for your dad...and give them to him to keep for eternity. Yes! Allow yourself to feel it all. I think we westerners are far to stoic when it comes to death, putting on a brave face and such. When people say things like "they wouldn't want you to be upset" it's usually because your honesty of feeling makes them uncomfortable, but why wear a mask of pretense? I think that's why westerners often end up being prescribed drugs to "cope" further down the road, because the pressure exists to move on before you are ready. "Shit! That person is feeling some emotions! Quick, numb them! Numb them all!"

**Watcher** User ID: 71616222 United States 04/26/2016 09:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry for your loss, OP! There is a special bond between a father and his daughter...or so I have been told. My father died when I was a year old in a plane crash but I know I will see him again. Even though I didn't know him in this life, the bond was still there. As long as I held him in my heart, I could feel him near. Give yourself time to mourn. Much love!

I lost my dad about 8 years ago and I still think of things to tell him, so I do, when I'm by myself- I imagine his reactions to stuff going on in the world right now and pretty much know what he would say. |
