Just Lost My Dad

I just can't accept the fact that my dad is now not with us anymore. Just a mere eight years ago he walked me down the aisle in my mom's wedding dress (oh, how proud was he!).

There are five children, we don't communicate, there is no support. I feel all alone. But dad was always so proud of each and every one of us.

To me, it feels like dad has just passed when it's already been a week, everything so fresh. I know in mind he's where he needs to be, but I miss him so...

And there is just nothing that can describe the hurt....

Lost Father
by: Anonymous

My condolences on the loss of your father. I too lost my father in Aug 09, 2 months before my wedding; I had my sister walk me down the aisle. 6 months on and the emptiness is still there, the crazy mixed emotions are still there, and I honestly don't know if it ever gets any better. It is such a strange feeling losing a parent, I think we just assume they will always be there.

My advice is cry, scream, laugh, do whatever you are feeling at that moment, don't try and be strong for everyone else, you need to grieve and that is natural. if you feel you just can't do it alone, seek help and talk to an external party, someone who has no connection. I wish you all the very best.
I totally understand

Yes, I totally understand how you are feeling
about losing your Dad, though it was my Mom I lost
three weeks ago today. And yes, it's just like
yesterday. I cannot believe what a hole I have
inside me now and I am sure you do too. Like you,
I know she is with the Lord, and I am so glad
for that, but I miss her terribly and that doesn't
make the pain go away. Just know there is someone
else out there that is going through it too and
totally understands.

DEAR FRIEND,
PLEASE ACCEPT MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY IN THE LOSS OF YOUR FATHER. I, TOO, LOST MY DAD SEVERAL YEARS BACK AND I STILL MISS HIM AND ALWAYS WILL. HE LIVED IN ANOTHER STATE AND IT'S TOO FAR AWAY FOR ME TO VISIT HIS RESTING PLACE.

IT'S ONLY BEEN A WEEK SINCE YOU LOST YOUR DAD, AND YOU WILL GO THROUGH MANY DIFFERENT STAGES OF GRIEF. I KNOW RIGHT NOW YOU STILL FEEL NUMB AND
MAYBE DISBELIEF. YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE HIM IN YOUR HEART FOREVER. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY GOD GIVE YOU THE PEACE AND STRENGTH YOU NEED NOW.
I know exactly what you mean

My father died on 4th December and I know exactly what you mean about feeling that it has only just happened. I had that feeling up until recently. Thank you for sharing that.
