Dad

[Bentleybexley39]

He died a horrible suffering death due to cancer. It’s been 3y and still feels like yesterday. My best friend just lost her dad in a tragic way, I support her the best I can. But my thoughts go back to my dad and that huge hole inside of me. If I could go back in time, I would in a heartbeat. I never feel him with me….. no signs.

Supporting your friend during her time of loss is a wonderful and caring response by you. Sometimes helping others also gradually works a way for one’s own feelings of loss to become less intense while allowing tender memories to come to mind. Wishing you a happy memory to be in your thoughts this father’s day. ❤️

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss, friend. My heart goes out to you. Losing a special person in our lives is very hard, and the impact of such a loss is deep. The sorrow can affect us in many ways. I lost my dad 5 years ago and it still hurts. Memories are fresh most of the time and it’s not easy. I appreciate your willingness to support your friend. That can really help you as it did for me. Stay strong. Hugs.

So sorry, when we lose our parents it’s like losing a piece of ourselves, I lost my Mum and Dad many years ago but I I still think of them every day, 😘

Those that live in our hearts never die ❤️

Its never easy, cherish the times you had, thats all you can do. I wish there was more to say, something that might ease your pain. Wish you better days.

There will be signs that he is with you. Sometimes they show up in small and simple things. Notice everything. They have been there. Don't "Seek"..... Just "Notice".

The other night, I noticed that the lightning bugs have finally come out. Only a few in my backyard, and then they would stop "lighting" for quite a while. Out loud I said, "Mom and Dad, if you can hear me, please give me a sign. I need to know you are with me." Within two seconds, a lightning bug lit up so bright just a couple of feet from me! Then it stayed near and kept lighting up a few more times! I sighed a happy sigh, then immediately thanked my Mom and Dad, with my hand on my heart, for always giving me "signs" that they are there. A penny on the ground is a sign from my mom from my childhood to look down sometimes, especially in parking lots, because that's where loose change will be. I have always picked them up.😊

I lost both of my parents. They were my best friends, they taught me SO much, but they couldn't teach me how to live without them. The "hole" remains, but my loving pets help to fill a lot of it. It's ok to keep feeling the loss, and finding ways to cope. I still cry. You are healthier for allowing yourself to "feel".

I wish you "Signs", Peace, and Love. 🙇‍♀️ ~Alison

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine... I have two children and I would not want them to see me go through such tragedy after having lost their dad in a tragic motorcycle accident when they were quite young - 5 and 7.
