Dad died 4 months ago today. I still miss him as much today if not more than the day he died. I know he's in a better place. He's not suffering and he's finally warm. He was always cold especially after his cancer was discovered. I know people mean well when they tell me he's in a better place. I just hate hearing it. I know also that I wouldn't want him to still be here suffering but that doesn't make me not miss him so much it hurts me to the core. I know he will always be with me especially in my heart. It just still hurts even though I know all these things. Quite a few people at our church have told me they are proud of how I am coping. But they don't see me in my private moments. They wouldn't be so proud then. All of you here know exactly what I am talking about and I am so very glad I can put my comments here and all of you will understand me and pray for me. As I do you. Thanks yet again for letting me vent. It does feel some better when I am able to do it. I am not able to get on here much due to taking care of my husband who is disabled. But I do read what yall put and get comfort when I can. Thanks again. Love and Prayers to all.

@Tabatha, I am sorry you feel so bad. I can relate. It's about six months, actually on this thursday. I feel heartsick. I just had surgery, got my gall bladder removed and have had pain meds, on top of my antidepressants, and sleeping pills and i still can't sleep. This week and last week were a bit rough. I cried myself to sleep a couple of times, and i stayed up til 2 or 3am, and woke up at 6ish in the morning. I feel worn out and dragging. My thoughts drift back and forth, memories mostly and some regrets that i wish I would have spent more time with my dad. I treasure all the talks we had and reflect on how wise my dad was. He was my sunshine and i just feel so lost. I am sorry i am dumping all this on you, but i just wanted to share that this whole process of grieving is a roller coaster and the ride is unpredictable. So disregard those "move on's" and just cry if you need to, be mad if you need to, whatever the moment calls for, but don't bottle it up, it doesn't help. So, i just wanted to share, even though it has been 6 months for me, i still cry like it was yesterday. I loved my dad very much and there is just no replacement for that void. The process now is just figuring out the "New Normal" and trying to live in that, not saying it's easy just the way life will be until we all are reunited in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers go out to you my friend. ((((hugs)))) Love & God bless ya, mel

aarrrgghh! I am sooo aggravated w/ myself because I feel like I should be so much farther along than I am. I hurt everyday! I miss my Pop sooo very much that I can't just "move on" like e'one thinks I should! :( W/e I think about him or something reminds me of him - I tear up.

I hope you all are doing okay. I have been busy, just had my gall bladder removed so been resting and drugged up lately. Was thinking of my dad the other night and cried myself to sleep. I sure miss him. I still recycle the thought of him not being around. Just can't get that thru my head. The permanent separation. I so wish for all the little times we had together, running to the grocery store, running to Sonic for burgers and shakes, or just chilling on the couch watching an old western. He loved John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. I sure miss my daddy. I am up late and just thinking of all of you who feel the same void, the same heart ache. I pray that you are doing well and not so down and out. Just keep in mind you still have a life to live and your dad would have wanted you to continue. Make your mark in life, make it meaningful. Continue on your dad's legacy and help people remember the love he had. Love & God Bless you all, mel

I am new here & am hoping that this site will help me with the healing process. I lost my Pop to cancer on 10/17/2009. THIS has been the hardest thing that I have ever had to work through - especially being a "Daddy's Girl"!

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
