Yeah, I understand, hon. It's tough to lose a dad. I lost my dad when I was 24, and it wasn't easy for me either. Was your dad ill, or was his death sudden? We don't know why God chooses his special people to be with Him, but know that wherever he is, your dad is watching over you, protecting you from harm, and loving you. Meantime, talk things over with your mom, and your brothers and sisters if you have any, or even your friends. Talking about the good times you had with your dad really helps. In time, the pain will be a lot less, and you'll just be left with good memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Good luck and God Bless!

You go ahead and keep crying as much as you want! You have alot of hurt and confusion about this I'm sure, and trying not to cry will make you feel worse. And ask God for help too! God won't bring your dad back or totally take away all of the pain, but He'll be there with you when you're crying, holding your hand. Tell him everything. I promice He'll listen. The pain, the grief, give it all to God. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can't imagine the hard times you and your family are going through right now. Keep on crying as much as you need to, keep praying, and God bless!

That is an awful thing for an 8 year old to go through. Don't be ashamed of crying. It is natural for you to mourn your father's passing. It helps to talk about it. Your family will be willing to help I am sure. Also you can talk about your feelings with your friends. It is okay if you cry while you talk. You will find as time goes on that you will cry less often, but you will always have times when still grieve for your father. My Dad died on my fifteenth birthday and I still cry when I think about him. You will get through this but it is going to hurt for a while until you adjust to life without him. Blessing to you.

Sweetie you may never stop crying fully. You a father's love for a child is priceless just like a mother's love. You may stop crying one day but it will be a day when something come to mind about your father may make you cry it's ok. I say cry sweetie it's natural. I know when my friend died I've been crying for the last year. It will be ok. You're human

Hey kiddo,
Who says you can't cry? Tears are good, they make all the sadness eventually come out of you
Healing is a long process, you will always remember him, and there will still be tears, I promise you that, it will always hurt but you know what? Try concentrating on the good things, remember all the good times you spent with your dad, it won't erase the pain but it will help. Remember, your dad would not like to see you mourning for him all your life! Life goes on! Put you chin up and start looking at the good in life. Best of luck to you.

You may cry for years. My mom died when I was 27 now I am 58 and when I think about her I still cry at times. There is no set time on this. Especially your dad.

Honey, you go ahead & cry until you WANT to stop.
Everyone feels the pain of their loved ones death differently, and if tears are YOUR way of working through it, then that's OK!
My Dad died when I was 34 years old---and sometimes I still cry about him....When you love someone so much, you will always miss them.
God Bless........

And YOU'RE 8? Well either way, I'm sorry to hear that. But you have to 'bring him to life' as much as possible..put pictures of the good times you had with him around, pictures of him smiling, talk to him...he can hear you. Talk to others, get your feelings out in a journal, etc.

Its ok to cry. that shows that you really love him, and that you won't forget him. You dont stop crying until you do. I guess its a natural thing.
-I'm sorry that you lost your dad. He must have really meant a lot to you.
