Dad passed away this week

My dear Father passed away this week and even though I know he is in a better place, I miss him. He was a faithful man, always smiling and caring of others ,even when he was sick at the end. I am new to this program and would like encouragement and prayers for our family.

    I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved father. Even though you know he is in a better place, it is still going to be a very difficult time for you. Sending you and your family my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. 'Don't say with sadness "He is no more" say in thankfulness "He was" x x

    I lost my dad over 30 yrs ago & never had a chance to say goodbye.:brokenheart: I still miss him but as time goes on, the fond memories far outweigh the sadness.

    Time really does heal, it will take awhile but will get better. Thoughts & prayers are with you & yours. :flowerforyou:
  • My thoughts are with you. I lost a dear friend recently as well and it was very hard, I couldn't imagine losing my family member. As you said, he is in a better place. It will get better with time. *hug*

    The worst day of my life was when my dad died. I understand and send you positive thoughts and prayers. Make him proud of you with your journey to good health - that's what I try to do when I feel discouraged. It doesn't always work, but I give it a try.

    So sorry for your loss.
  • :( I am so sorry for your loss xx
  • So sorry for your loss. Prayers for peace for the coming days.

    I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I just lost my dad last year and I know how much it hurts. It still hurts, but it gets better. Holding onto the precious memories you shared with him will help. Let yourself grieve and let others be there for you during this time.

    My sympathy. Losing one's parents makes us so aware of our own immortality in addition to the grieving process. Peace be with him and with you and your family in this difficulty time.

    I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your father,my prayers and thoughts are with you as we'll.
  • I'm sending you compassion, love and condolences. I was just there almost 2 years ago. Most dreaded and painful time of my life. It will get worse, but it will also get better.

    The best advice I ever got was: "Take care of yourself."
