im sorry for your loss

i havent lost my parents but i have lost reletives, ex bf and friends..

very sorry for your loss. My dad passed away in AUG of 07 and the best bit of advice I can give is allthough I cant say you ever really get over it just talk with your family and friends. And when my girls bring him up we talk about the things we miss about him, we cry about it a little but I tell them he is allways with us in our hearts and mind, and we give each other big hugs. I hope this will help you, it does for me and my girls.

So sorry for your loss. .. I don't have any words that I can write to heal your pain but at least know that he loved you that's more than I can say for my dad passing when I was 11.

My Mom passed a little over 7 yrs ago. It sucked the joy out of me for a long time.
My step father is still kickin' at 86

I lost my father in 93, time helps heal is all I can say. My prayers to you and your family

My condolences.
I lost my Dad in '07. I lost him only in the physical sense though. I certainly miss our talks and hugs, but Dad is still with me. He helps me through each day and watches over me.
Keep his spirit in your heart and make him proud.

Both my mother and father have passed away. It doesn't matter how old you are, you still feel like an orphan.

I'm so sorry for your loss....

My dad passed away in '97. I was so glad we had that last visit. Just a father and son fishing. It was so special walking and talking with him. I pray for you in your time of loss. Memories are precious times.

my dad passed 7 yrs ago 2-26. he was only 68. i was sad but i have great memories of our time together.

My thoughts are with you

I am so sorry for your loss.

I lost my grandmother who raised me from the time i was 1 year old. She had Alzeimers. She hadn't spoken in 2 years and when i walked into her hospital room, i told her who i was and asked if she needed anything and she replied no. Everyone stared at her and for the next 25 days, she came out of her Alzeimers to laugh with us, sing songs, cry and smile. She was acting like a child but it didn't matter. She recognized me and wanted to be there for me before she left me permanently. Those were the best days of my life. I gave her back what she gave me and I will always treasure those thoughts in my mind, soul and heart.

I suggest that you keep happy thoughts in your mind and keep recalling them. They will bring a smile on your face and the pain will not be there.

God bless you

I am deeply sorry for your loss.


Love & light to you and your fmaily

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. May happy memories ease your pain.

I lost my dad in 2005. He really was the coolest guy. And I'm not the only one that thinks so. He was a photographer, painter, engineer, and all around good guy. At 78 girls could still make him blush. He did so many things. I walked in his house one day and he's hammering on a rock with a copper chisel (homemade). I asked "Hey pop, what are you making?"...he says, in a flat voice "pre-Columbian artifacts". He also knapped flint, made his own bow & arrow, on and on. Plus, EVERYONE loved my dad. Bikers to bankers and I never once heard him say anything bad about anyone.

I miss him but spent all the time that I could with him when he was alive and remember him every day. As long as we remember someone, they aren't realy dead, just unavailable for comment....but you KNOW what they would have said. So...

Mendy,

I'm sorry for your loss. Although I know that those words mean very little when you are hurting and missing a loved one.

Having got to spend the last year of my Dad's life getting to know him again, I can understand how you feel and sympathize. It's not easy to see a loved one wither and eventually move on. I personally feel that is what happens... they move on out of our grasp to feel no pain, to know only love and happiness. They leave us here to celebrate their life.

My best advice is to think on his life with love and happiness because he would not want you to be sad. Honor his life and memory with love, laughter and fond memories. Those will guide you on your way out of the feelings of loss... in time.

My Dad passed away over 10 years ago. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him in some way. But I have finally come to the point where I can smile and not be sad every time. There are still those times that come that I break down and cry because I miss him. But those are more tears for me because I can't have him here.

My wish for you is that you can, in time, find peace with this in your heart and soul.

Thank you all, I think it helps to talk about it and we all have parents and friends or mates who has passed away. Thank you
