Sorry for your loss 🙏💜🫂 remember all the things he taught you good and bad and it’s a natural way of life for parents to die better then the other way around… again sorry for your loss 🫡💜🫂
I haven’t lost mine yet, but he is in hospice and is expected to pass soon. I have been thinking a lot about how I am going to deal with that loss and I think you’re in the right place. Nobody is going to understand like those who have gone through it. I have a few friends who told me what it was like for them with their parent/s passing like the stages of emotions they felt, responsibilities they had to take on, and ways they learned to process and cope with it. I know that when the day comes, I can call them and say everything I feel because they already understand and won’t be uncomfortable answering tough questions.
My condolences to you and your family and lots of love and healing 🫂
He was in hospice for a year and we knew he was close but just unexpected to come back from my CT scan (cancer) and find him.
Thanks all!! Feel lost and numb 😢
Regardless of if you knew it was coming or not, it’s an emotionally shocking experience and I wish you didn’t have to feel those emotions, but getting through them will be healing and how you get to the other side. If you ever want to talk, feel free to reach out
sending you hugs! I read a lot about palliative care last year and it can be hard to live this process as a daughter. I'm here for you. really.
I lost also. If we are a part of the universe, the universe doesn’t lose us when we die.
It’s been years, but I still think about him everyday.
I was a teenager, but having someone to talk to was a nice thing for me - even if it was on the internet and they hadn't lost anyone. the most important thing is to feel whatever comes. the emotions come in waves and it's normal and ok to laugh or cry or be angry and sad and afraid. if you want to talk more about it, I'm here.
Sorry for your loss. 🫂 I lost mine in my mid teens and took solace in remembering all the happy and profound moments and experiences I had with him - let these permeate your thoughts as time heals.
I am sorry to hear, deepest sympathies for you and your family.
Keep the special memories alive and visit them as much as possible. You need to allow yourself as much time as you feel to grieve, there’s no time limit on that as everyone is different.
In time you will learn to live without him but always grateful for what he taught you and the life lessons he instilled in you 💜🫂
Sorry for your loss.
Usually you will need some kind of ritual to root you back in reality and make you realize what's really going on. In my case it was downing the casket into the grave. That's when "the penny dropped" and the things started to feel real again. With my aunt, i couldn't go to the funeral, so the penny only dropped a week later when we got the family together for the requiem mass.
Then there's the pain. The pain never subsides, you just learn to bear it.
I'm sorry. Losing a parent is hard. It's been three years for me. I think time heals, but it's still hard.
