I dont know what to say, i dont think anything can take away that pain, except time and that only dulls it slightly. When you think of him, remember the happy times first, when i do that for long enough i have the most wonderful dreams about the person.x

oh honey i don't know what to say i'm so sorry. I think you just have to make sure you're not alone particularly on the actual day that's the worst thing you could do. You've always got someone to talk to on here if worst comes to worst and you're stuck with us lol

Sillyme's right it will dim eventually but in the meantime it helps to talk x

my dad was amazing rainy, he was biult like popeye, the bggest arms and calfs you have ever seen, your typical stout Irishman.
He could do just about anything, mostly self taught.
He had the best advice, he pushed me to try even harder than I tought I was already doing...
he was brilliant,

he went out like a light,

none of us saw it coming...

my biggest lighthouse suddenly went dark...

=( =( =(

Do you think it would help you to talk more about him? You know I'm not neccessarily on about what you miss but the good times you had with him? My uncle's been dead for eight years now and my mum misses him terribly so we always talk on his anniversary about the good times, you know celebrate him?

His light did not go out. He is in your heart and soul and when you speak of him I can picture him now even though you've only given me words. When you feel lightness, he is dancing with you, when you feel darkness, he is holdiing your hand. He is in you my love xxxx

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
