MY FATHER DIED

catlover — Fri, 05 Apr 2019 22:58:46 GMT

my father died yesterday.

he was 88 and died of liver failure

it was quick and unexpected

I feel so strange having no living parents now

there was 6 of us and now there are 3

my sister died 12 years ago and my mother 25 years ago of ovarian cancer..............a long and miserable death

I'm 59, but crying like a child......................

I am sorry for your loss and may he RIP. It is always hard to lose our immediate family members. Yes it really does change family dynamics. My Dad passed away twenty three years ago and my sister passed in July of 2019. Now I am an only child and my Mother is getting ready to turn eighty eight. It just feels odd. My Sister and I both have only children. Time helps the heart heal but the feeling of all you have known being changed doesn't go away. Prayers for you that you feel better soon and the flowing tears are cleansing for your soul.

My sincere condolences. I understand--both of my parents are gone. Today is the anniversary of my Mom's passing. I'm sure you have many loving memories.

I'm so sorry @catlover -

I think we try to prepare all our lives for when our parents leave us.

I remember my father saying when his uncle died that there was no longer anyone who had known him since he was born.

Everytime I heard a hymn in church I felt like he was singing loudly like he did and was standing right next to me. So I didn't go for awhile cause I would start crying all over again!

It's ok to cry and cry. I'm so sorry.

@catlover You have my heartfelt condolences. Both of my parents are gone. I was especially close to them as we did many things together, and I miss them every single day.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your Dad. My parents and only sibling are deceased so I am the only one left. It's hard. Hang in there.

@catlover - of course you’re crying like a child. Why, you just lost your dad! You were HIS child. I got choked up just reading your post to be honest.

I think losing the second parent was a real game changer for me, for lack of a more appropriate term. I felt totally adrift. My anchors were gone. Such a foreign feeling. It still is, a few years after my dad died.

Sending my deepest condolences to you. I’m so very sorry.
