Oh my goodness!!! So sorry to hear of your loss! I lost my Mom in 04. It leaves a void in ones heart. We need to get thru the storm to enjoy the peace of knowing that FOREVER we will be with our loved ones. Your Dad is still with you, in spirit and I am sure he would want you to be happy in this life!!! Please, take care of yourself!!!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I can relate to the sudden loss, my brother died in may 06 and i saw him the day before, everything was fine then the next morning i got a call saying he was sick when i got to the hosp it turned out he never woke up that day.

there are so many things that are left unsaid when a passing is sudden, i fiound one piece of advice i was given was very helpful. a friend of mine suggested i wrote a letter to my brother with everything i wanted to say (i am not christian or catholic by the way) then when i was feeling ready to sit in a quiet spot that meant something to me and him or just somewhere i felt comfortable myself. take some time to think about him and burn the letter. the thoughts behind this is that the smoke from the letter sends the words to him.

I have written the letter but never found myself in the right place emotionally to burn it.

I hope this helps and i know the feeling of loss and emptyness will never go away, i still havent been able to come to terms with mine myself but stay strong and remember him how he was and know that daddy's are always very proud of their little girls and is with you everyday watching over you.

if you would like to talk anytime please msg me.

I lost my dad, (my best friend), years ago. For what seemed like forever, I was the same way. Nothing mattered. It took years for my grief to turn to loving memories. It is a process of life we all have to go through. Feel your feelings, accept them, look to momeries of him for strength. I wish I had better advice, but it works differently for different people.

Try not to waste your energy on "making sense of this." Only God knows why and he doesn't always share his plans with us.

I would bet that everyone on the Bereavement site can identify with where you are. I lost my twin brother very unexpectedly in July 07. One day he was there and the next he was gone.

Everything you are feeling is normal and for right now you are exactly where you need to be.

My prayers and thoughts are with you as you struggle through this.

Hugs and love to you, Di

Thank you to everyone for your kind words, they have really helped me. God bless you all I will keep you in my prayers!
