My Dad passed last Jan 1st, after the ball dropped. Miss him terrifically, but he is here w/me every day ...
You will feel your Dad's presence more than ever. Ask for signs ;-) <3
And that in itself is a huge gift to not only him, but you as well.
Please now take time to take care of yourself and know that your dad is in really good hands now.
May God bless you in the days, weeks and months ahead.
May The Lord give you peace, mercy and comfort during this new season.
I so understand feeling relief that his suffering is over but, wishing for one more day. He was very blessed to have you and your care.
Great big warm hug!
To those who are grieving a loved one this time of year.
Try to remember the happier times when you are thinking
of your loved ones on these sad anniversaries.
Your fond memories will never die.
So saddened to read that your dad has passed. Yes Christmas is hard for all of us with loved ones in their final days.
My DH and I visited his sweet aunt in the NH today. It was so sad as her energy seems to have drained from her. When I asked her for a smile she seemed embarrassed but gave me a sweet smile and when we left she told us to “enjoy your life”. It felt like a blessing.
You are so kind to think of us when your grief is so fresh. We are, all of us, in one stage of grief or another as our elders are just a short distance from the finish line or recently crossed over. All the inconveniences fade away as they pass on from our sight. We do the best we can and in the end it is enough.
Be gentle with yourself Snoopy as you grieve with your sister and know your wonderful dad is at peace.
Sending you a big hug today and during the weeks and months of sadness ahead.
Do not let him passing on Christmas make it a day to grieve in the coming years. Make it a special day when God gave him a Chrustmas gift of now having no pain and being whole again.
Hard to bear on ordinary days; extraordinarily hard to bear when everything is telling you to be merry and bright.
May you be comforted by your many good memories; take good Chistmases past with you into this season and many to come.
Just a few days ago, and around every xmas I think about what other lives must be like after losing someone on the day or around the day of xmas. I guess every situation is a little different, but there's always reflection on the past, whether it xmas or not.
Unfortunately the special days plastered everywhere in the media, adverts, news, etc, In my friends case her parents are in the cemetery and she goes there on some special days to say some words, that's her way of still connecting.
I come from a big family but we don't all get together at xmas with extended family, they just do their own thing. but as I'm the sole caregiver for mom, I've spent xmas'es them with my mom mainly. I will always miss her in the future, as I do with my father on special days. It's going to be tough for me to face things in the future with my situation. I'll most likely be facing grief alone and there was big turmoil with certain family members when my father passed away.
It sounds like you have been through a lot of pain in the process. It's raw, early. If you have children, other support, this will help. It's compassionate of you to still think of others at this time and write a post.
I wish you and your family inner peace in the coming days, weeks, and years.
Love & Peace.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies and condolences to you and your family during this sad time.
(((hugs))) My thoughts are with you.
Thank you for your compassion and empathy. It is very hard to lose a parent no matter their age or situation. It's hard for me to accept it has been 6 years. I will take a wreath to my dad today or on the 26th.
Thinking of you. Please know we are here with you x
I hope that your Christmases in the future will be filled with the memories of the many happy ones you spent with Dad rather than the single one he missed.
Remember, memories are made of millions of moments, and death is just one of those moments. Don't give it more power over your memories than the millions that came before that one.
Peace to you and your family this Christmas.
