Im still in a fog over it and wont ever be the same from it.Lost my father in the worst way possible , was sick and wouldnt let us kids know how he was feeling until it was too late .He was a wonderful man but as alot of men from his generation are ,he was stubborn on this subject sometimes .The doctors really gave it their best to help him thru it but he lost the battle with other weakened conditions he was already under , I couldnt feel any worse over his passing and we have lost the pillar of our family .What confuses all of us is that we called EMS for assistance and he passed all their test during their visit to the house .I persisted the hospital visit latter that morning and my sister was baffled he was so sick and took a turn for the worse once their.While you have yours make those visits count would be my message here.Spend sometime at a park or do something they like to do ,we are lucky that those days where filled much like that shortly before he passed.The best part of you comes from your parents .

so sorry for your loss,I know everyone say's it.But having lost my child, sorrow is not fun.Try and hang on to the good,and relive those memories.

my biological parents are gone,mom killed herself because of RA pain.My adopted parents are racist,and never accepted my wife,and children,I have not talked with them since 2013,and don't give a ****.They know my daughter died and said nothing.i hope they both die screaming in pain.

Sorry to hear it; life is a circle. He completed his and left a lot of great memories behind. At the end of days, our memories are all we have.

What I can say is to pull your strength from other people ,its helpful to begin your day with her in mind only .A simple message in a bottle out their in a large body of water is kind of what we are thinking for a reminder of our father ,the grandkids could benefit .It fits him too, always an adventure as a kid and instilled alot of that great part of him in us kids. It would give a good message and a nice thought that if it should reach someone it might lend some help or inspiration .Her story can find someone also ,Sorry for your loss.

It is usually hard when we lose our fathers. It was a help to me that he at least lived the whole expected average lifetime of his generation. . Plus did not really suffer near the end.

A lot of his generation served in the second world war. Adding a component to his life that the majority today escape. There had to be good and bad involved with it.

I also think his generation lived through many other signifigant things like the depression. Those that have lost our fathers already have a pretty good insight to the event. Sorry for your loss.

This picture says a lot. He probably wanted to live his life until time to die instead of lying in the hospital with people pushing needles in him. It's the image of a strong man who loved life with the people around him.

Sorry for your loss.

Very sorry chase. It is tough. I lost my Dad in 2011 and my wife of 42 years early last year. My Dad too was a great guy and I talked to him most every day. My Mom is 93 now and going strong given her age and medical history. She will probably be the next tough step.

Working hard to get my mind off of it worked wonders for me for both losses. I hope you find the way that helps you best to deal with it.

Hang tough!

I'm sorry this has happened to you. No consolation that it happens to all of us, just as it's happened to me.
Time does heal wounds. And soon I hope good memories will replace the pain.
