accept my father's death. (read all 6 entries…)
his mom died....last monday. 3 years ago

I just got back to the city from being back in Ohio. My grandmother died. She was my father’s mother. It was the first funeral I’ve been to since my father’s. The whole family kept saying, “we miss him so much” or “we really wish your dad was still here…” I just wanted to say “no shit” “i wish he was here too…” It’s been almost five years. I wish I could tell him about what I’ve been doing. I just got my first “real job” outside of the restaurant industry. I’m using my degree and thinking about going to graduate school. I miss him. Why can’t I get over it?

good luck

you can just think of him as if he inspired you not made you sad that hes gone write back

It will be ok

Just about the only wise thing my mum ever said was that it takes 5 years after someone you love dies till you start to feel better. My dad died in 2002, and the first couple of years were really unbearable. He missed my kids being born, my wedding, and loads of stuff I’d really like to have shared with him. But I feel privileged to have had such a wonderful father, and I know that he made me the person I am today. You’ll be ok, and I think you’re lucky, as I was, to have had someone in your life that you loved so much.

Thank You . . .

That was so nice of you to say these things. You are right. I was lucky – my dad was a great man, as I’m sure yours was.
Cheers.
