re: 7 months, 2 weeks, and 1 day since my dad passed

Mine passed in hospice on March 26 of this year. It’s still not easier, but after spending 4 months watching his physical health take a fast dive it felt like a relief when I got the call.
I know how you’re feeling, but your dad probably would want the same thing mine would for me - to not stay down on his account and to live the life he always wanted his kid to live.

He doesn’t need a suicidal wacko to talk to. Your only reason to not blow your brains out is because your daughter would be an orphan? Yup. Totally stable and worthy of listening to their advice on how to deal with death.
Everyone dies. If you’re not mature enough to handle it, then seek help but you definitely shouldn’t try to help others deal with it.

Been 5 months for me. Stroke at 73. I think about him daily. He was a good friend to me. I didn’t realize till football season one of the things I missed the most is that call on Sunday afternoon b!tching about how much the saints suck. He was a big Saints fan. I miss those calls a lot. He’d even leave a voicemail if I didn’t answer. Wish I had kept one of those voicemails.
Try to move forward asking yourself what would he want you to do.

I didn't talk to my Mom as much as I talked to my Dad when he was living, but ever since he's passed, I'll call her everyday when I get off work and chat for 5 minutes. If anything, my Dad's death brought me closer to my Mom.

I watched my dad die in the living room at his (now my) house. I saw him take that last gurgly breath.
It's not a pleasant memory for sure.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't remember him or my mom.
You will get through this. It's been almost 5 1/2 years since he died and almost 5 since mom.
You need a year of firsts without him and then it will start to get better.

Sucks man, I guess having a shite dad is easier after they pass. Mines been gone almost 6 years now and I only think about him when somehow a new problem comes up I have to deal with still that he caused.

Will be 11 years tomorrow that mine is gone. Massive heart attack at 53 years old at his desk at work. Thankfully he and my mother were young when I was born so I got to spend some good years with him. I was in a dark place for several years after but it’s gotten better and mostly think of the good memories now. It gets better with time

My father passed away March 16, 1994 and I still think about him and miss him because he was a great man and father.
At Baptist Hospital in NOLA.
I run past it regularly and feel close to him.
I hope there’s something after this life because he should get a good reward, best I can judge him from afar.
I try to make him proud of me.
