Haven't been on the board in sometime...My dad took his last breath on the
5th of April. Thank you to all that replied to my last posting...See, when I was on here I was staying at my dads and using his computer and I finally got my own. Due to the fact he had a girlfriend who after his funeral said she did not want to have anything to do with his kids, it took me sometime to repost. I really learned a lot from reading this board on what to expect when he was in his final days, hell his final hours. This was definitly the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. It's so hard to lose your parent.
During the planning and the funeral I grieved but not like I should have. I felt very numb. Everthing was happening so fast. I find myself crying a lot more these days for I miss him so much. I hope time will heal a daughters broken heart. If it wasn't for these boards I wouldn't have known what to expect.
Thanks to all who share their stories and their loved ones journey. It helps to know your not alone.:angel:

I am so sorry about your Dad passing away. I was with my precious Dad when he passed away and it was so painful. My prayers are with you:angel:

Hugs Nadine

I am very sorry to hear of your loss and know what a difficult place you are in. My parents have both passed. My husband of 27 years died on April 1 - that sounds like it should be april fool, but it's for real. Like you I was very numb for 2 months or so. Now, I cry alot as well and wonder how I will get through this. They say it takes about a year, sometimes more.

I know I will be okay, but I worry about my kids. My daughter is 24 and my son is 22. I think that she is doing better than he is, at least she talks about it. He has a lot of angst and issues, though. Many I can't make sense of. He is reluctant to talk to a counselor. I am glad to hear you have a place to vent your grief.
