Death Of Father
The Lost Dads Page

 


For a unique, compassionate, enlightened approach to coping with bereavement, "Back to Life" might be just what you are looking for. Read all about it here:
     Grief Guidebook

 

Death of Father...

Welcome to the "Lost Dads" page. Losing your father to death can be especially hard in many ways. You might feel guilty for not appreciating all that he did for you over the years. You are sure to miss his strength and unconditional love. Losing your father may also force you to confront your own mortality (feeling older and more vulnerable yourself?)

May you begin to heal by telling others about the loss of your own special Dad, and also find some comfort in similar stories posted by other bereaved "children".

Ready to tell your story?  It's very easy, and there is no cost. Just click in and start writing below:

(*Tip: Compose your story first in Notepad or other simple word processor, make all your corrections, then copy and paste into the box below. We also ask that you please do NOT type in ALL CAPS; but we would appreciate if you did capitalize "I". Thanks so much for following these simple guidelines.)
