once again 43thingERs were awesome with there support for others !

any time is devestating….deep breath….

I’m sorry to hear about your loss… I hope you know we love you and are all behind you 115%.

Though the words I have to give you can’t give you true comfort, I hope you can take strength and comfort from your family and friends at this time. The loss of a loved one or friend is something nothing else in our lives prepares us for, yet something we all experience at deeply personal levels. The only advice I can give you is take time – time to grieve, time to spend on yourself, time to talk to your friends and family about anything on your mind, good memories, sad moments, whatever, and finally time to allow yourself to begin to feel better. My husband and I lost a good friend unexpectedly in November, and we are very much still in the journey to healing; it’s something we are learning to live with, and at the same time finding new ways to bring our friend into our lives – by spending more time with our mutual friends, trying to be there for his family, and though it may sound strange finding ways we can still feel like some part of him lives on with us (for example, he was an avid cigar smoker so we have many of his favorite cigars)... just allow yourself to feel it all, knowing this is something many others out there are going or have gone through and you can turn to them whenever you need. Take care, try to remember all that your dad has given to your life makes you the person you are today, and that doesn’t have to stop…

losing a parent. as much as i want to get away from them sometimes i dont know how i would if either of them were gone forever.

I think its safe to say that the thoughts and prayers of 43Thingers everywhere are with you now…

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

there is not much that we can do except send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family. My heart goes out to you in at this time. If I could give you a hug in person I would. May God be with you at your time of need.

my regards and thoughts and prayers and good wishes to you and your family…
