Sorry for your loss. My father passed away 3 years ago today. I overall do the best I can with it but have tough days as well. This year seems harder because of so many changes in my life in 2016 and not being able to tell him about them. Sometimes talking about it just helps, here for you if you need a listening ear.

Yes, I am sorry for your loss. I lost my mother about 2.5 years ago, and dad 1/5 years ago. I miss them a lot, but we do need to push forward.

Please feel free to vent, dump, cry, or what ever you need to do to help you process your loss.

Gentle hugs

Gentle hug for you Kyle.... I am so very sorry for your loss..... I have found losing my folks was so very difficult and continues to be at times..... I think it's hard to imagine our lives without our birth family in it and at certain times it's even more apparent
DS is a great site..... I'm glad that you're here..... Another hug and a blessing.....xo

I loss my dad January 23, 2015. A day doesn't go by without me thinking of him. I've learned to live with it but the pain never goes away. Their were no signs that he was leaving us so that made the pain even harder. I went through a major depression. It took me months and therapy. Losing a loved one is never easy. I can now think about the fun times I had with my dad and how blessed I was to have him for a dad. It will get better, but their will be times...

Welcome Kyle, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother 3 yrs ago last month and 3 days before my mom we lost our granddaughter. It is very hard to this day, missing them so much. But I try to think of all the good times we had and all the closeness we shared. It is true that time does ease the pain but we will miss them for the rest of our lives. I am glad you found this group, we are all here to give you any support we can. Sending this " grandmother's hugs" to you.

Hi Kyle. I am new to this group. Good for you for reaching out to speak of your grief. I send you good wishes, thoughts and prayers about your loss.
My Mom just died, after a very long life. Dad died in 2015 - also after a long life. I miss them both so much.
Blessing to you, dear Kyle.

Hi. My mum passed away 11 years and its still extremely painful for me. I dont talk to anyone other than my therapist about it and trying to work on it. I guess we all have really hard times but the main thing for me has just been to accept my feelings and let them be.
Much love

It's hard to be the coping, surviving party when anyone dies. One of the last things my husband said was "You'll be free soon" which doesn't help and sticks in my head...As if I wanted to be free from the one I loved and who was my closest partner still living. I lost my mother, father, sister and now husband within the last 15 yrs. I have a remaining brother who I never speak with on phone and a sister. I'm thankful for them and others still in my life. I cherish time and people and God's word.... eternal things...Acts2:38 Mark 16:16 Acts 22:16
