My Dad died last night

My thoughts are with you. Have a toke and check this out:

That is how I pay tribute to my friends/family members who cross over.

Stay Brown,

I hope you are doing well, these things are so hard

 

That's the way we would all hope to go, peacefully at a ripe old age! I'm glad your ok - take care!

 

im real sorry man... if ye ever need to vent, feel free

 

Glad to hear you are doing ok right now, but good energy and condolences from my heart to yours. Memories keep people alive.

No matter what you believe in regards to the after life, I wish for the best for him. He will be with you, somehow.

I am so sorry about this, but at least it was at an old age, rather than a tragic shock...though death almost always seems to be tragic.

Good energy to him and you, be well :sunny:

(like the above poster said, if you ever need to talk, I'm a PM away)

 

He himself didn't believe in an afterlife, so I hope he now realizes he was wrong.

Saturday evening he complained he wasn't feeling well so my mom put him to bed, and he fell asleep and became unresponsive. She called 911, he was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, I don't know the official cause of death but at 88 what does it matter, he died of old age.

He donated his body to a medical center so there won't be an actual funeral but there will be a memorial service in a couple weeks, so at least I'll see the family.

 

newo, i am so sorry for your lost!
:sad: :grouphug:

i just got home this morning from a weekend trip.

i found out that, the woman next door to me, died early sunday morning. she was 83 years old.
my own "mother," was one hell of a nasty drunk and, that help to make her one piss poor "mother."
betty (the woman next door to me) knew my "mother" was not up to the job of being a parent.
even though she had 3 kids of her own, she took both me and my sister under her wing and, tried to be the mother to us, that my own "mother" could not be.

newo, just like you, i'm experencing a great deal of grief at betty's death.
i just would like you to know, your not all alone in your own grief at this hard time in your life.

if you feel the need to reach out and talk to someone, please, feel free to to pm me and i'll get back to you as soon as i can.

 

sorry for your loss newo, my sympathies. I lost my dad the Christmas before last, I find my memories of him a comfort and I hope you do too as time goes on.

 

Aw, that sucks, man--sorry for your loss! I can only imagine what you must be going through--but at least he went peacefully and didn't suffer! My thoughts go out to you at this time! Blessings and peace!

 

I'm sorry for you, and may he rest in peace.

I can't imagine what would happen if one of my parents died..... They're both gettin' on in years too, for still having kids under 18....

 

i'm so very sorry to hear that! my father passed away this past October 12th. i still have my off-days and i imagine that i will for quite awhile. we all deal with grief differently. I wish you the very best in dealing with your recent loss

 

I too,am sorry for your loss.

 

I've been debating posting in this thread because i'm not sure what I could say that would make you feel any better. I wish I could help relieve some of your suffering but the only thing that will do that is time.... lots of it. My thoughts are with you and your family, i'm really sorry for your loss and i'm sorry this had to happen to you.

 

His was a long and successful journey then. Celebrate the life you had the privilege of being part of. He has graduated to the next leg of a larger spiritual journey.

 

That's so beautiful

 

Stinkfoot said it very well. My sincere condolences as well.

 

Please don't think I'm being flippant here as that is not my intent. Be glad you had your Dad as long as you did. My Dad was just 67 when he died. I could not talk to anyone about my Dad without braking down for 2 years after he was gone. I keep his memory alive by repeating goofy things he used to say and remembering the good times we had. I am sorry for your loss.
