Hello!

Just when i think i am getting over losing my dad then i remember all the sweet things about him and miss him so. I say to myself i think i am over the worst and bamm. I will admit it is easier but i so miss him and think to write to him as we emailed daily when he was still healthy enough to.

I guess i just wanted to say i miss my dad and long for his prescense in my life, i know he is in a better place but i would love to see his sweet face again i will one day.

Thanks for reading. How are others coping with the loss of a parent after it has been sometime, its been 2 years it seems forever.

my dad died 2 yrs ago had a massive heart attack i never even knew he was sick. the thought of him dying was never even a thought. i know now that i will never get over it. i have to learn how to deal with it. its ok to feel bad we lost someone that can never be replaced. and it does not make any sense to not take care of ourselfs and stay around here for the time that we have and share all of the love we have for all of the other people around us. so we can hurt and love and the same time.

Hurt and love at the same time is a very good way to put it. We hurt for the loss and yet have love for who they were in our lives. Sorry for the loss of your Dad and hope the wonderful memories you have will help to sustain you during the hard moments. Marie

It will be one year for me June 9th since I lost my Dad - my DADDY. I am missing him so badly. I want to hear his voice, hear him say "I love you Baby." I am walking around with a hole in my heart that will never heal. I am forever changed. It's like being an amputee, learning to live without that part of oneself. It sucks.

It's so difficult. Especially when you think you're getting over it and something small like a commercial or song on the radio brings it all back. Hang in there.

I lost my dad 14 years ago and I still miss him. Then I lost my Mom 2 weeks ago. When something great or bad is going on in my life and I try to think what would he say or tell me to do if he were here. You never get over missing them time does ease the pain but they are an important part of our lives that will never be forgotten or replaced. Take care!! Angelique

Every day its like i'm being punched over and over again in the stomach. Its like i'm being told he's dead for the first time every time i allow myself to think about the fact he's gone and he's not ever coming back. I don't know what i'm going to do x

Losing my Dad has been life changing for me. I thought I was always so strong and losing him has made me so sad. I think of him all the time and relive those last days over and over again. I feel like I've gotten worse over time and its almost been a year. Everything reminds me of him. I don't know how to gone on. My thoughts are will you all.

Hello,

I miss my dad very much, I was doing really good with the greiving process untill the commercial's for fathers day started. I just need to talk to him one more time.
I really dont know how to cope with it or if what i am feeling is natural or not. I dont really have anyone to talk to about it .

I lost my Dad in October, he was 88. I haven't lived near them since the middle 1970's. I always thought that when the time was to come it would be easier than if I was to see him everyday....it's not true. I'm still crying over the loss of my "Daddy". Keep strong Julie he would want it that way

I still miss my grandpa (he was the father figure in my life) every day and it's been almost 14 years now. He gave me this sense of security that I don't think I'll ever know again. It dosn't hurt as bad as it used to, but it still makes me really sad. Most of the tears I cry over him though are while remembering the happy things.

    This is a general message I am posting to all of the groups I belong to:I just thought back to when I first found DS soon after it first began and what a different life I had then.  It is much better now, mainly because I have my own apartment as opposed to living in an old travel trailer in somebody's driveway. But even that could have been much worse than it was.  I have been here now since...
