My dad passed away earlier this week.  If anyone here is a praying person, I sure could use them

I'm sorry for your loss.

My dad weent in april 1976 after a very long and hard illnes.  

The death of one's father is a critical moment in the life of any man - possibly the first real inderstanding of human mortality.

My prayers are with you. Peace.

I've lost both my parents in the last few years. I can't imagine it's ever easy for anyone who's had a decent relationship with his Mom and Dad. But, we're meant to survive. Hang in there, OK?

Sorry for your loss. I'll include you in my prayers

Nullus dolor est quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ac molliat.

There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.

~Cicero

My sympathies to you and yours.

I'll be sending good thoughts your way. My mother died three years ago and it's been pretty hard. There are still times when something will jog the old emotional memory and my eyes will sting. It gets better, though.

Take heart and remember him with cheer. God bless.

Shakespeare: Everyone is the master of grief except he that has it.

My parents are still living and I can't imagine the pain you are going through but I can offer prayers and that I always believe that those who leave us are truly with us in spirit.
God Bless.

i am sorry for your loss. i know from recently losing my mom.  be
well.

For whatever reason, when I first got to TER, your posts stuck with me.  My dad is getting up there, and not in the best of health.

I feel for you, and hope you find the strength to get through this tough time.

May he rest in peace and nothing but good memories warm your heart.

Both my parents are still living, and in good health, but my wife of 25 yrs. passed away in June 2005.  We all grieve differently, but for me, it took a week or two for the reality to hit, and I hit the bottom after about another 2 months. I don't know which is worse, the hole blown in my chest the size of a basketball, or all those little reminders of her being gone that send chills down my spine.   It's been almost 2 yrs. now, and the pain and emptiness has diminished dramatically, but it's still there. Don't be surprised if you find yourself operating slightly out of character for awhile, it certainly scrambled my mind to some degree.   It does get better though, and as you learn to deal with yourself, you'll likely discover inner strength you didn't know you had.      Take care of yourself, it's how your Dad would want it.        P.S. If you feel up to it, post this over on 'The Erotic Highway' board.   The Mod over there, The Love Goddess is an exceptionally skilled therapist, and the regulars are pretty good as well.
