I Miss My Dad

by laura pastecki
(oakfield, ny)

My dad died a year ago tomorrow. The grief hit me like a ton of bricks today. I watched him in the hospital for almost three months...two in the SICU. We had to make the decision to take him off the ventilator. When we did he passed in about twenty minutes.

I held his hand as he died and stroked his head and kept telling him how much we all loved him. It was heart wrenching. But he was suffering and we knew it was time to let him go. But it didn't make it any easier. I miss him so much my heart hurts. I was lucky to have had him for 49 years of my life. He was an amazing man. He will always be in my heart.

Hello mine is a story that is hard to write about. My dad pass away about one year ago. But it is not getting better yet. My days go from sometimes alright to bad to really really bad, and there is the days that so bad that I can not stop crying all day long. I would like to know if gets better ever?

My darling, beloved Dad passed away on 19th June this year, due to a misdiagnosis, he really should not have died, but his doctor did not take enough care with his health complaints, and dismissed them as just old age. It cost my Dad his life, and I am so sad, angry,and confused.

I am so sorry for your grief and for your loss. Your post really touched my heart. Please accept my sincerest condolences for the loss of your father.

I lost my fiance 3 weeks and 2 days ago. I miss him every day. He fought a very courageous battle with cancer for 2 years. I am grateful for the 10 years we had together, but I don't think there will be a day that will go by that I won't think of him.

Hold tight to the beautiful memories with your Dad for comfort...and may the love of those around you help you through the rough days.

Please reach out to those in your life that are close, for comfort and hugs.
