My dad died today

Happy rebirth to your father.

Don't you love it (an hour after someone passes away) when people tell you to smile because he is in heaven?

It's bullshit. Been there in 2013 when my mom died.

It hurts. You are allowed to mourn and feel like crap for as long as you need to. You are allowed to vent, get angry, break things. I did. For me It was very therapeutic. Not everyone needs to do that though.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I know there isn't anything I can say to make it better. I'm here if you need me. I know what it is like.

Big hugs & sending good vibes your way.

My Dad passed last July, I feel your pain. Hang in there!

I feel your pain OP. My dad passed Jan 2015 after a year long battle with colon cancer. I am still devastated, he was my best friend.

Best of wishes for you and yours, hopefully time will help us cope. They are gone but NEVER forgotten.

I hope you had a good sleep and feel strong when you are traveling tomorrow.

Yes you will miss him.

My father passed several years ago......at the time there is nothing anyone can say or do to make you feel better. It is a great and powerful loss......the best you can do it thing about the good times and how much he meant to you. The pain lessens over the years but never goes away.....even after 20 plus years.


You are not alone in your feeling of loss. Take care and may God Bless you and your family.

So sorry for your loss. There is no right or wrong way to feel. Your way is fine for you. It's a huge loss. Take care.

So sorry to hear of your loss.

I wasn't over my Dad passing in Joly when I lost my younger brother in December. Trust me,you will laugh and smile again as time and faith are will heal your pain. Last night I dreamed of both of them.

My dad died when I was seven. I know your pain.
Please dont take this the wrong way but,...well, this came to my mind.

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after world
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night
So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life

It's not the end OP. You will see him again.

Sorry for your lost op,it's sad

I saw my own dad for the last time two days before he died. When it happened I was 2000 miles away and it happened in the wee hours of the morning. I'm glad I saw him then, and I do miss him, and my mother too. Now I'm the reluctant patriarch in the family.

You have my full sympathies and condolences. Do your best to be good to yourself, since that's honoring your dad too. He's not on this plane, but he's not gone either. Carry him in your heart and trust that the God that keeps all of us alive and takes care of us all will continue to do so after we depart. I trust in this.

Try to be with friends and friendly family members. They can be of comfort. I'm sure that most everyone in the GLP community feels for you. We're all a bit odd in our own ways, but we're all human and know a bit of your pain.

Stay strong and know that you're loved! We'll all have to deal with these things unless we go first. We all care.

I want to be alone. I can't imagine my children standing there and watching me take my last breath. I want to spare them of that.

I always tell them that if they are on a vacation and get the word, to tell whomever to put me on ice, and for them to enjoy their vacation. They laugh, but I'm serious.

I am sorry for your loss, OP.

My dad died in late 2014, died almost instantly from a
stroke at age 83. I was sad he died but heppy he died
so easily, without a lot of pain and health issues.

God Bless you and your Dad.

God Bless you and your Dad.

Sorry for your loss.

A tincture of time will help a little. God bless you and I am so sorry

My sincerest condolences for the loss of your dad.

Condolences, my grandma died (at least the body that is) today. Man, 2016's death count is too damn high.

May Yahweh bless you and your family it sucks to loose a family member I loss my pops to and it sucks because now I am the only men in the house and we could talk about anything and understood each other. Sorry for your loss. I actually see my pops in my dreams sometimes for a few seconds really vividly and the dreams are always peaceful.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my father last month in March. He was in the hospital for 4 months due to severe acute pancreatitis. Doctors couldn't save him. It will take time to recover depending on the person. It will get better over time. But you'll won't forget him.

My father was only 62.

Enjoy the sad, wallow in it a bit and savor the bittersweet pain of loss.

Sorry for your loss OP

Sorry for your loss. And he is indeed in a better world than here. In time you will feel better. Take care.
