I lost my father last month due to hearth attack...My parents supposed to come to Hawaii for the first time on June 22,2010 but he died on June 08.
Everything was set up for their trip and it suddenly turned out into a saddest situation in my life...I'm still on the process of healing as I miss my dad so much...I trust the almighty that he's taking care of him now and that He has a better plan for us.

I am so sorry to hear that. No matter how old or young a parent is when you loose them it hurts so much. My daughter wrote a story about how we thought last Christmas was going to be the worst ever. Well it didn't it was great . Her story reminded me that even though we have lost someone there are still loved ones with us to help create new memories and without memories we have nothing. Loosing my dad and my oldest daughter in the same year was very difficult . I got cold , distant , I didn't want to feel anything anymore. Not pain, joy nothing, I wanted to be left alone. Her story ( she wrote it for a college paper ) reminded me that if there is no pain that means we never experienced joy or love. I still cry and it creeps up on me when I don't expect it, but it's okay. my daughter was 38 , I lost her in November and I am going to her daughters graduation from middle school next week and all I can think of is that her mom is not here to see this. But I am and I will be there for her. Enjoy your memories of your dad and share those memories when you feel you can, it helped me. I'm really sorry for your loss and that he was ill so long.

I lost my father (massive heart attack) on April 2, 2010 and 26 days later i lost my Grandma(Dads mom)(bunch of things were wrong) on April 28, 2010. My husbands dad died April 4, 2000. My son was 6 months old and lost both his grandpa's and one of his great grandma's already. Its been the hardest year so far. And we found out after my dad passed that we were expecting again. When i had my son, my dad was the first in the room to see him. This time its going to be hard.

I know how you are feeling, I lost my dad in 2003 to cancer. He had Mesothelioma(cancer caused from asbestos). He was diagnosed in late 2001 and he did chemo for about a year and a half and decided he was no longer going to go through that and he stopped taking it, he died on Oct. 13, 2003 and i still have a hard time dealing with it. I am so sorry for your loss, just know you can call on me to talk and get those feelings out, and talking really does alot of good.

Im sorry for your loss! I feel your pain and although your dad isnt physically here anymore, he is deffinitly still right beside you! Once you lose a parent you gain an angel! - well thats my theory

Hello Ang, I'm so sorry for your loss and I encourage you to continue reaching out and please call on me anytime! Important things you should know as you start your journey through the bereavement process. Please see below for the meaning of Grief:



Grief is the multi-faceted response to loss, particularly to the loss of someone or something to which we have formed a bond of attachment. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, it also has physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and philosophical dimensions. Common to human experience is the death of a loved one, whether it be a friend, family, or other companion. While the terms are often used interchangeably, bereavement often refers to the state of loss, and grief to the reaction to loss.



Sincerely,

LaMay
