1 year anniversary Jan6

Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of my dad's passing. I cannot believe it has been a year. I have only gotten through the last year taking it one day at a time, and though the pain in my heart is not as bad, my heart is still broken. My family will be going to dinner tomorrow - not sure what else to do, but will some how try to find comfort in being together. Thank you for listening....I know you all know what I am going through.

Susan, please know my thoughts are with you....I know that tomorrow will bring back a flood of emotions but it is good that you will be with your family and perhaps you can share the wonderful memories of your dad together!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. I am dreading the first anniversary. Does the pain in our hearts ever go away completely. I am thinking not. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your post. I kept myself busy that day and that night my immediate family (husband, child,mom, brother and sister-in-law) went out to dinner and we all shared FUNNY stories about my dad. We were all actually laughing at the stories. It was bittersweet. After dinner we had my daughter (who is nine) let go of a dozen balloons in my dads favorite color. It was beautiful. I wish I could tell you it gets better, but the only thing that has gotten better is the the heaviness I felt in my chest for about a month afterwards - cant really explain - but I really do take it just one day at a time as thinking about the future and how my dad will not be physically a part of it crushes me still. Hang in there, and just try to get through every day.......my thoughts are with you.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
