Hi Everyone:

Sorry I have been away for awhile, but my father went to be with the Lord on the morning of November 19th and his body was put to rest on the 23rd. I will be in the forum intermittently for a while attempting to deal with this major loss.

Gelinda.

Oh Gee, I am so sorry.

I lost my father in 1999, and all I can tell you is that the feeling of loss does get a little better with time.

There are good times to remember that will replace the hollow you feel now. I know there is so much to do right now, and maybe others to console, but please allow yourself time for your own grief too.

Love, Carolynn

My condolences Gee. My dad passed on a couple of years ago, so I know somewhat of what you are feeling. Please accept my prayers and thoughts for you and your family.

Gee -

May I add my condolences, please? I, too, lost my father 2 years ago, from cancer. While his death was expected, it was still hard to bear. The pain of the loss does ease with time. You are in our prayers.

Super Thanks to all you ladies,

I am just attempting to make one day better than the last.

Please keep me in your prayers.

Thanks a million for just being here. Gelinda.

Gee,

I am so sorry for your loss. I know the sorrow you must be feeling. When I lost my mom in 2002, it was tough. I always comfort myself knowing she is still close by (in my heart) and always will be just like your father will always be close by in your heart. I will keep you in my prayers.

Gelinda:
My thoughts are with you.
My dad passed on 12/18/03 at the nice age of 90 while I was helping him prepare his Christmas cards. He was fortunate that he had very little medical problems.
I still think of the moment he died and I will always.
He and I became more that father and son in the last 5 yrs of his life. We became buddies. I have missed him from that time on.
One thing that I learned from him was that as he said it, "celebrate my life, do harbor and negative inner feeling of guilt about any of the events the past. I was not perfect, but tried to do my best and never feel bad or guilty that we had arguments or disagreed with each other it is a part of life"
