@gidgetgh I don't think that grief ever goes away, my dad died at the age of 55 when I was 16 and never got to see his grandchildren. I still cry thinking of him all the time.

         @JaneMarple, 

            Your emotional response was so touching. I thought the sadness from your life was exactly `that`- dying so young and never had the excitement in knowing, experiencing your children. 

There is nothing like your own children or knowing the love of being a grandparent. "Hugs and a smiling face for your father from me as he watches over your entire family" 

My mother ( a true 'Saint on Earth') did die so young, absolutely unexpectedly- two weeks after I had celebrated my birthday-two full weeks {another state} we.. had together), but she and daddy did glow when  their grandchild was born, spending many years while he was very young. 

 So, I do understand that void you must have  had being a mom and no DAD  / grandpa to know how wonderful- how rewarding his love was not known by them. 

 Sending you a huge hug with a  of gold to a lovely woman.

I had to exhale before replying @NAES1, you wrote exactly what I'm feeling. Thank you so very much.

XOXO

@gidgetghHope you are feeling better.   Hope the meds helped. 

Tears, while bringing release, can also hurt your head.  Take care!

I miss my Dad so much too. I've been feeling that he's near me in fact I heard his voice clearly in my sleep and it woke me up. The tears start when I think of him.  I believe he watches over me and I believe I will see him again .

I sometimes have these random, very vivid dreams of those who passed, the dreams seem to come out of nowhere.

I lost my husband almost 5 years ago.   Those first dreams were of him "coming back" and we just picked up with our lives where we left off.   I didn't want to wake up!   But now when I see him, it's just some random conversation, maybe this means I've finally accepted that he's gone.

I also have dreams of my late parents.   I remember one a few years ago when i bought a new car.   I dreamed me & dad were driving in my new car and he was telling me how much he liked it.     We could have been in a horse drawn buggy and he would approve, he was always  my cheerleader.

When I wake up, I'm usually very melancholy.

My dad died 3 years ago and I mourn his loss everyday. My mom died 2 days after Mother's Day this year.  I can being the most mundane things and it hits me like a truck!  I cry so hard I can barely catch my breath.  I agree with the poster who said grief never goes away but we do learn to cope with it.  

I know my parents are still with me in my heart and that's what I hold onto.

My mom passed going on 17 years this December.

I don't remember the exact date, but I know that it was before Christmas.

I miss her, but I no longer cry for her.

I guess I have finished grieving for her.

@gidgetgh

I have the same thing emotionally lately! This past year has been a year of many losses of wonderful people in my life...and at any moment I just start crying.  No rhyme or reason!

hugs to you 😌

[mistriTsquirrel]

I'm sorry, @gidgetgh.  

I have the same sort of experience sometimes.  Sometimes the most mundane thing will remind me of my dad, and the feeling of loss will wash over me again.

@misscecille- My sympathies on the loss of your mom.  I lost mine in 2011 and I miss her terribly.  It's hard having them gone.

Oh grief happens to me all the time. All I have to do is even think of my mom and the tears sting my eyes. All the time.
