I Miss My Dad More Than Ever! - Death & Dying Message Board

I lost my Dad to cancer in March 2002, I miss him so much, I feel like its getting worse not better as the time goes by. I just want to talk to him to tell him everything that I've been doing. I know there is not much anyone can say to make anything any better, But I thought airing my thoughts might make it easier.

I miss my mother-in-law too. She died last July 11th. She was so much a part of our lives. She died of ovarian cancer after 7 years of chemo. She left a big hole. It's so hard to believe she is not around or that I will not see her any more.
Maybe if you wrote your dad a letter, telling him everything that has happened since he died and how much you miss him. I think I'm going to write her a letter and leave it at her grave site. Hope this helps.

Xandra60:

I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I lost my dad 20 months ago and, even though I have come a long way, I still find myself in a lot of pain from time to time. And, as with you, (sometimes) I feel like it is getting worse as time goes by. But then I "snap" out of it and start feeling better.

As Angelavan suggests, maybe writing a letter to your dad will help. Or, if you visit at the cemetery, you could sit there and tell him what you've been up to. I visit my dad weekly and I pretend (as best I can, of course) that I am talking with him on the phone and tell him what has been going on for the week.

I am thinking of you and hoping to hear from you.
