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 mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
