It has been a few days that I have been on this site. My sister got married Saturday and had my uncle walk her down the isle in place of my dad. She did put a picture of our dad in her bouquet. I cried I did not want to mess up her day. The wedding was nice we had a good reception danced a bit then came home. I miss my dad so much that I can't get out of this state I am in. I need somebody to talk to I just can't pull myself out of. I just miss my daddy.

I was reading an earlier post about seeing their father's vehicle in the driveway day after day since his passing.  I can relate to this since he was always home before me and seeing his truck just parked in the driveway knowing he I wouldn't be seeing him when I walked through the door was tough to do... Subsequently, one of my favorite new songs is "I drive your truck" which tells a similar story.

I want to thank everybody here for their help in getting past this unbearable pain. I know it will never be the same and know I have major anxiety attacks and the fear of losing anybody else like my mom, my kids, my grandson, my husband. I know this is the order of life. I know now I just want to close myself off from everybody and I know that is wrong ,but I am so afraid of this pain. I don't want go through this again but it is something I can't beat is death.

Judy,

That is a terrible way to lose your Dad.  I am so sorry.   But what a fond memory to cherish.  Take care and God Bless.

Stephanie,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I know the pain you are talking about.  My Dad passed suddenly Sept 2012 and I can't believe how much it hurts.  I just want another hug from him.  Sometimes it doesn't seem real and I can't believe he is gone.  I have recently told myself that it is ok to be happy and feel joy even though he is gone.  This had made a big difference for me.  Oh, I still cry uncontrolably and at anytime but I can now allow myself to be happy.  He wouldn't want me sad all the time because he isn't here.  He loved to have fun and joke around.  Today is his birthday and I am doing well.  I went ot see him yesterday and shed many tears.  I even went to look at headstones as a birthday gift for him.  I know this sounds strange but he understands and I'm sure appreciates my gift.  Hang in there and God Bless you and your family.

The Last time I saw my dad ,  I was barely starting out as a teenager.  My sister just  graduated from Junior High School.  My parents were separated but decided to get together for  the   celebration , so the four of us spend the day in N.Y. City Central park.  It was the first time we saw our parents together in a very long time.  It  was actually about ten years since they  spend  some time together.  I remember it was a beautiful sunny day in June .  We had a great time that day in the park .  Everyone got along  well  that  day.  It is still a fond memory for me even after all these years.  At the end of the day we had to  go home  in different   directions.   I lived in Brooklyn  with mom and my  Dad Lived in the  South  Bronx.  I  will never forget how we said our good- by's  and  I watched  my Dad walk away in the opposite direction leaving the park.     He  was headed  for the D train .  For  some unexplained  reason I kept looking  back at him watching him  walk further  and further away from us.    I couldn't  stop myself from turning back to see him  !     Little  did I know that would be the last time I would  ever  see him again in my life !   About a week or so later he  was   mugged in his own apartment  on July 4th  and shot in the head !   He lived for about another two weeks in a coma and then died when we were in the hospital visiting  him!   He was  probably being watched by gang  members. They  decided  to act on July 4th because  it was so noisy from the loud fire crackers  they felt confident  it would muffle the sound of the gun fire !   My dad's killers  were never caught !  But I do believe in God, so I am sure they will get what they deserve or probably have  by now !

Grief is so hard. I hate the different emotions that we go through. My husband bless his heart tries to help me but sometimes I get very irritable I don't want to take this grief out on anybody else, but it is hard.

Why does losing somebody you love have to hurt so much?

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
