    About Me

    My dad died unexpectedly three weeks ago. Life has lost all meaning and purpose. I'm still the "i can't believe he's not here" phase or I guess what psychiatrist would call the denial phase. Daddy was three hours short of his 62nd birthday, hadn't been sick and was in relatively good health..he had a brain hemmorrage. Life without him sucks. My grandmother died six weeks after my father. Now I keep wondering, who's next?

      I lost my father on 11/28/2007. He had been ravaged with rheumatoid arthritis for many years but it was congestive heart failure that ended his life. I empathize with you as I loved my father and am still coping with his loss. If you need a friend, email me. David S.

      Jamie: I know how you feel. It will be 8 months that my husband passed and like you said it comes in waves. Every night I curl up and just cry, cry till I can't breath anymore. I wish I was dead. But, here comes my doggie, Lucky, licking my tears. When I look into those soulful big brown eyes I can see the love and know he feels my pain, for he too misses my husband and knows why I'm crying. This is something we have to deal with. It is obvious that people either stay with us through these times or turn their backs and walk away. I hope you can find some peace in your heart and comfort.
