Shirley praying for your Dad as we speak!

I know what you are going threw. I lost my husband of 31 years
on july 31 2008. But the hardest for me was our annvissary on Oct
15 then it was our birthdays in Nov. They are 3 days apart. That was the hardest. All I can say is hang in there and have a lot of faith and trust in god.You have to get past this that is what he would want. You never forget and you will have moments of crying screaming and alot of other things but you have to move on.I am sorry for your pain no one should have to go threw that kind of pain. It is just to hard but pray and god will hear you and help you.

Hang in there sweetie. I'm around if you need me. You'll make it. You just have to hang on til it's over. There's no other way to do it.

My father passed away in November. I regret that I couldn't spend much time with him toward the end of his life. He wasn't the greatest father and had a lot of humane flaws but he did his best in his life for the family. I am grateful for that.
When I think of my father laying in the coffin under 10 feet of soil, thinking of him laying there this winter brings me tears to my eyes. Now he gone to be with his mother. He must be happier now. Death is not the end of it. This world is just a temporary stop for the better next world. I believe that and I am pretty sure of it because I did my deep analysis of the world where we are living in now. You can't call me crazy. but that is the conclusion that i came to.
So I want to tell you not to feel so sad. Your father is in a better world. From that world he is wishing you the best. Someday, you will be reunited with him. For now, live, love and laugh as your father always wished you to.

Hugs to you Catwomen. My mom passed away 3 years ago on December 10th. That first Christmas sucked. We didn't do a lot, nor was it a very happy occasion. We each have our ways of coping & dealing with the pain.

Yes, Mom would've wanted us to have a good time, but it just wasn't in our hearts... & we couldn't change that. Christmas just wasn't Christmas without Mom.

But each year, we grow stronger & can feel her presence with us in the room. We think of her & share memories. She's gone but will never be forgotten in our hearts & minds.

Just remember the great Christmases you had with him, sweetie. It helps to ease the pain a bit.

Its nots easy. I lost my older sister dec 26 1995. I was 6 years old. it is still hard on this holiday. when i think of her i think of others my grandparents and my brother and my 2 best friends. all ive lost and most near a holiday. its gets better slowly ..for me anyways...

I understand that you feel really really sad.. particularly at this time of year, but try to focus also on the fact that you were sooo lucky the two of you to have such a good relationship... what a treasure, not everyone has that..
