My daddy just pasted away on 11/10/06 he had been sick for while with CHF and i just always thought he would be okay....I miss him so much, i feel like my heart has been ripped out and stomped on...my mom is realy taking it hard, i wish i could ease her pain, but i can't . I told her i don't even want to have thanksgiving this year...it's to soon am i crazy????i am trying to type over my tears, this is the hardest thing i have ever done in my life...my sweet sweet daddy is gone!!! I was blessed to have him for 35 years...But he was my rock always there no matter what....if i didnt see him everyday i would talk to him on the phone....i talked to him 30 minutes before he died and he said honey i feel better today than i have in a long time and he said he slept good the night before...so i said i love you daddy and i will see you this afternoon he said ok honey i love you too that was the last time i spoke to him !!! My mom called me 45 minutes later and said he was gone!!!Does this ever get and easier???

oh Im so sorry for your loss. I know nothing will make you feel better right now, but think about this.....your dad went peacefully at home with your mom by his side. He wasn't hooked up to machines or in a nursing home. And the best thing of all.......you told him you loved him and he told you. That was a gift that a lot of people don't get. I know it's hard to look at the positives while your drownding in grief. I lost my dad 6 years ago and still miss him and still think of him, but I know he's in a better place and he's not suffering, and I know I will see him again someday, as you will your dad.....
Take care, you're not alone.
