My mom died in 2002. Her body just gave up. I took care of her the last two years she lived. I can deal with her death better. I knew it was a matter of time. My dad was killed 2005. I was about a foot and a half from him when he died. (Keep in mind I'm a daddy's girl.) When he died it felt like some one killed part of me also. I don't know what I would have done if my husband had died that day. My husband was behind me that day. He was hurt but, he lived. It's been over a year now but, some days it feels like it just happened. My dad was the last of my family. I have no family left. I have my husband's but, it is different.

I lost my Father when I was 10 and my Mother
when I was still in high school and I still miss them - I can remember them now without all the pain of their loss - so it will get better and it takes a lot of time. I will pray for you!@

My father passed away 12 years ago. My parents divorced when I was 5, so I never had him around as a child. As an adult, he came back into my life.
When he died, I had the same sense of loss as any one. I happened to have started going to church about this time and it gave me some solace. A year later I found a cousin that gave me my father's family history. I got involved in further research. It gave me something to do that commemorated him in a constructive way. Now I have a feeling of unity that doesn't feel like sorrow.

It takes time for grief, don't be afraid to grieve. That is something God gave us when we loose someone we love, even Jesus grieved when Lazarus died. It WILL take time, but at least you have their memory with you and that is something that you can be grateful for. My parents lost my sister 37 yrs ago and my mother still feels the loss. Just remember the good memories and keep them alive that way. Don't worry about someone telling you that you need to move on. Memories keep them with you at all times.

I take it, your fathers early life was taken in a car accident? Do you believe in spirituality and in what aspect? Sometimes people take comfort from their religion or their spirituality. You might want to find a reputable and loving spirit guide to help you through this. If this is not your thing, you may want to find an empathetic therapist who has had experience with the death and dying grief process.
good luck and bless you

time will ease the hurt and you will focus on the happy moments that you shared with your parents, rather than the sadness of missing them. may God bless you.

I am sorry for your loss. The feeling won't ever go away, but it will ease with time.
