sorry to hear that man 🙁

my father passed away over a year ago unexpectedly at 57 and it was a very very tough time for me.

time will help and make things better, but i won't even lie not a day goes by where i don't think about my father, and the worst is when things remind me of the immediate days after it happened or even when i saw him dead in the hospital bed.

but just remember the good times and keep pictures around, and cry a lot when you feel like you have to, it really helps and makes you feel better.
 
Damn, Jules, sorry for your loss. When you're up to it, make a date in the future to get together with as many family and friends as possible to lovingly and even raucously swap memories -- both the good and any bad -- of your Dad, in kind of a low key Irish wake cum Fesivus "airing of the grievances."

One of the disservices we can do to the departed is to unnecessarily paint them as saints. Not one of us is a saint. Let go of whatever kept you apart so that you can remember all the good and welcome him back into your heart.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss. My wife had to make a similar decision with her own father 3 years ago. I understand it is not an easy thing to do.
 
Sorry to hear Jules. Lost my old man years ago but luckily we were at his bedside until the last breath. I think about it every single day. Hope time heals it for you, because so far it hasnt worked for me 🙁

My dad also passed away after a year of swift decline and it was expected. Despite that expectation, the day I heard it had happened was still the worst day of my life.

My condolences.
 
My condolences to you. I know I got scared to hell when my dad had his heart attack. When you're feeling a little better, rent another Elise and flog it around.
 
My father is going in for an operation on Weds. It's not a major one but he's 84 so all operations are risky. Glad I got to spend some time with him this summer.


That said, Bless you Jules, you have my condolences.
 
JulesMaximus,

I went through this with my grandmother not long ago. I can only imagine how you feel with it being your father. Stay active and talk to people it really helps. If you ever want to just talk im always around. ATOT is like family to me and want you to know you are in my prayers.

Condolences and best wishes to you! I know you will keep him alive in memory and in heart. This reminds me a poem that may strike a chord with you on the subject of our fathers :

"He knew us all and loved us, may we, this winter night, from cape to cape, from the noisy pole to the castle, from the crowd to the beach, from vision to vision, our strength and our feelings tired, hail him and see him and send him away, and under tides and on the summit of snow deserts follow his eyes,—his breathing—his body,—his day."
