Good Friday...not so good - Page 7

Jules, I'm so sorry.

I know you miss him so much, and you will always miss him.

I hope that when you are feeling bad, you will find comfort knowing that he isn't suffering now.

It's so hard to watch them suffer...there must at least be comfort in knowing they no longer suffer...right? ${#emotions_dlg.crying}$

ETA: I'm glad you have that puppy to cuddle and cry with...and I bet you'll have a really strong bond with her because she is there for you in your time of need.

Jules....just now reading of your losing your Daddy brings it back like it was yesterday. I'm so so sorry . I too sat and held My Daddy's hand and spoke my heart to him as he drew his last breath. You weren't there when your Mom passed on and neither was I. I'm glad you have a little buddy to help you now through this loss. Thinking of you and with all my heart sending hugs and prayers for comfort. They are your guardian angels now, your Mom and Daddy. eta....last night .I saw the movie ..Heaven is for real .(based on the book, based on a true story) I felt it to be comforting and up lifting (JMHO) helped me to feel that We all may someday see our family again. And until then I know at times you will feel him near you, comforting you .

As a daughter of a special dad, I understand completely, and you have my sincere condolences on your loss. Jules, I don't know you nor you, me, but you could have written my story. My dad was the smartest, most principled man I ever knew. He was a very strong Christian and the living example of the kind of man us girls would look for in a husband. Albeit many years ago now, my dad also passed away on a Good Friday (his wake was on Easter Sunday). No matter when it happens, even though it's expected, it hits you like a ton of bricks. Even so, I saw his home-going on Good Friday as a special grace, as I think you do. Despair and anguish are normal emotions right now, but I hope the veil of grief will eventually part, and you'll be able to remember all the wonderful times you shared and lessons your dad taught you.

Thank you so much for your wonderful post, JLF.

I know it will be a comfort to Jules.

I know how very sad you are and I am sorry for your loss. It was very important for him and you that you were there with him and could talk to him. My sympathy to you and your family.

((Jules)), so sorry. You were so devoted to your dad. Don't try to do too much or too many things too soon. Take time for you. ${#emotions_dlg.wub}$

I am so sorry for your loss, it is so hard loosing your father even when you know it's coming. Your story is similar to mine. You sound like a very loving daughter and did the best you could during his decline. Your post brought back so many memories and a few tears. Allow yourself to grieve and hug that little puppy. My father had Alzheimers, passed at 69. One of my favorite memories is when I would bring him to my house for the day and he would lay down in the recliner and our little pup would jump up on him and they both took a snooze. He loved our pup. He was always paranoid, but when he was here, he felt safe and sound, an it gave me a sense of peace for a little while. As time goes on it does get a little easier, but there's not a day I don't think about him. Hugs and prayers to you.
