My dad died today

Condolences OP.

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

Thanks, Chip.

Very sorry to hear. I was with my father when he died. Kind of a pivotal moment in my life. Life goes on, but you still talk to Dad. At least that's how it is for me. I feel better talking to him out loud, when I'm alone walking or whatever, so I do. Will probably get locked up someday but whatever, it's worth it.

You have my sincerest condolences.

Oh God i'm so sorry OP

It is around the corner for me

Love and blessings to you and your Dad

I'm sorry about your father, too. I wish I could have been there but I was 2 states away. It makes it even harder.

So sorry for your loss friend

Hang in there and enjoy every minute with him.

So sorry for your loss!

Thank you

I'm SO sorry. My dad died in December 2015 right before Christmas.

I was there but left the room for a short time and he was gone when I got back.

I'm still having trouble with it.

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.

Deepest condolences

My sincerest sympathies to you! My sweet Daddy passed this last August... I feel your sadness. Try to take care of yourself the best you can. Hugs and Health to you~

Everyone else isn't his daughter...


You're in a little bit of shock right about now, lovey, I hope you're not alone...well, you can't be alone if you're on GLP.

OP, we all go through so much loss in our lives. It is so difficult to bear. I wish you could have been with your father at the end, but perhaps there is a reason it was not so. As long as you have some meaningful connections and lessons you shared that is really what mattered. Loving parents carry their children in their hearts all the time anyway so you really were there in a way.

I'm nsorry for your loss.

I'm sorry for your loss, too. I've heard that people often wait until they're alone before they pass...that they want let go with loved ones around. That's what my dad did in the wee hours this morning.

Very sorry, OP. My condolences.

I've read on nursing boards that many times they seem to wait to pass until loved ones leave the room for even a short time. Don't feel bad about it. He wasn't alone and knew that you were there for him. He likely chose to go that way to spare you extra pain.

I am so sorry OP.

You guys are the best. Say what you will about GLP, but there are some amazing people here. I appreciate all the good thoughts.

You read my mind!

My deepest sympathy on your fathers passing.

I have to wake up at 3:30 to catch a plane so I'd better get to bed. I feel a lot better and can probably sleep. Goodnight and thanks!

My condolences on the loss of your father. I lost mine at a young age (his and mine) and I can assure it gets easier in time, but for now you must grieve. All the best on your journey.

So very sorry for your loss Op.

My condolences. Just got back from the mother-in-laws wake. Not good. Funeral tomorrow.
