I appreciate your appreciation for all. Sorry for your loss. Nature takes its course. I hope the grief passes and the joy resumes as soon as it can.

Thank you. After a loss like that it is always nice to get to the point where you can laugh and smile while you are talking about them, instead a being distraught all over again. I think most all of our loved ones would prefer those they left behind to carry on and good spirits/memories. It's just always a little easier said than done.
Thank you again skunkape. I'll get there. I'm trying top just get back to a semblance of normalcy now that everything is aid and done.
We all love you. I know all too well how difficult it can be to lose a dear one. Just know that it will pass. Feel free to have a good cry. Holding it in only makes it worse.

Condolences. I have had a lot of practice at losing people so the only advice that works is to remember the good times. Forget the end and remember the good. The memory will live on via your memories.

Your kind heart warmed mine in the last week and taught me that having love and understanding is the most powerful way to solve problems. Your well balanced nature and reaching for your heart before judging tells me that your father did right in raising you. I'm sure he was and will forever be proud of you.
Sorry for your loss.
*virtual hugs*

Yes, it's Hurts You, But he's in a Much, Much Better Place with other Loved Ones.
Keep those memories in your Heart, he will look and see your Heart filled with Love for him and he'll know it was OK to leave you.

My Dad died in the beginning of June from brain cancer so I know what you are feeling.
When it happened I kept everything to myself.(as I usually do)
I was in the chat room the day he died and said I didnt want to be a wet blanket and bring people down and than I logged off.
I woke up the next morning to a kind message in my mailbox from another member....and it felt nice,like someone actually gave a crap.
If the mods are wondering why I have a had a few posts pulled in the last week...there is your answer.
My therapy has been going out in the woods but,I did a trip that was torture for me.
Climbed 2.5 kms up a rockface with no rope and a full pack and drank swamp water because i said screw it and winged it....a bit dramatic yes...but I got a lot out.
I hadnt seen my dad in 20 years so I had a bit to deal with and had a few regrets I had to face.
I see and feel your pain...you are not alone.

I'm so, so sorry and I feel for both of you. I lost my Dad recently and it really hurts. It's so hard to see someone close suffer and there are mixed feelings about wanting to keep them here or letting them go.
I haven't resorted to swamp water yet, but I'll bear it in mind lol! It's true though, you are not alone Kanga and if either of you want to scream one day then my U2U box will welcome you.
I'll be thinking of you both and hoping life treats you well for the next wee while.

Aww, Kanga...I'm so glad you've received a lot of support from members here.
I have too, and it's meant so much to me.
Getting past all the hurt at a time like this, is a long process.
Having people to talk to is really important.
You just reach out to us, whenever you feel the need. As skunkape said, you are loved by many.
Your expression of gratitude in this thread shows a lot about your character.
You are good people, and I am proud to have you as a friend.
*hugs* and much love,
jacy
