It does gets easier, but you will always have a sore spot in your heart. I find it best to think and talk of the good times when my Dad was alive and happy. I lost him a little over two years ago. Peace.

I still have my Dad but suffered the loss of my son in infancy. It does get better for most people. If you feel that you are still not funtioning, consider seeing a doctor. Sometimes profound sadness can cause a chemical change that actually needs medication to improve.
It might help to join a grief group. Many hospitals have such a support group. They could give you concrete help based on your personal situation. Sometimes visiting the grave and chatting over things you normally would have talked about can be very helpful. I had nobody to talk to when I lost my son. Even years afterwards, I found a grief group to be very helpful.

I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my father when I was 12 years old. I am now older enough. It is very tough to get over a loss like that. You do have to grieve. I had to attend counseling all through my high school years. It helped. It will get easier as time goes by. Talk to people. Surround yourself with people and things you love. Pray. seek help if you need it. There are great support groups out there. Good Luck to you.

I am so sorry Chloe. The pain does ease up some, but you will be feeling that hole in your heart for awhile. What will help is to believe and know that in fact he is watching over you. You may be blessed with a conversation with him in a dream, or come across something that only your dad would have wanted you to see or hear. Remember him always with love and the memories that he blessed you with. Know the love and memories that you blessed him with, he felt and died with. I do believe that we will see our loved ones prior to ourselves dying, which will make it easier for us to pass on. Be the best person your dad would want you to be- living your life to the fullest. Share your memories and cry. Don't forget to cry. You were blest with a father who loved you, and you are a blessing because you are here to continue his love and purpose in life- so to speak. He is a part of you and what he gave to you will be shared with many others that come in contact with you. I hope this makes since.
Consider yourself hugged and I hope you feel stronger in knowing that you haven't lost him as he left a big part of him in you and you will see him again.

First of all, my sincere condolences on your loss. I know what it's like to lose somebody who is close to you (my grandfather died when I was 17) and I know that the pain can be excruciating. It does get better over time but it may take a while and you may never be completely over it. But I can tell you what has helped me cope with my grandfather's loss. I don't know what your religious or spiritual beliefs are, but I believe strongly in God and in heaven. When my grandfather died, he had been sick for a long time and was not doing well. When he died, I at least took comfort in knowing that his suffering had ended and in the hope that he was now in at home with his Creator and Father, and that one day hopefully when I die I would join him there. I know that may sound kind of cheesy, but it's what I believe. I don't know if you've ever heard the song "I Can Only Imagine" but I think it kind of sums up beautifully what may be in store for us after we die. Again, I don't know if you share those same beliefs, but I really think that faith can help you cope with any tragedy. God bless, you are in my prayers.

what you have to come to term is death is part of life. you can not dwell on the fact the he is dead. it will eat you alive. some believe that when a parent passes on they watch over us. i found it easy to talk to my mother as if you was praying to god or something. you will always miss your father or any lost loved once. as i said try not to dwell and just cope with it and it ill get easier. you will have days when you get real emotional that he is gone and thats normal. just talk to someone about it. sorry for your lose and just remember that he would want you to remember the good times and not dwell on his lost.

Im so sorry for your loss too. i am not very good at dealing with death myself. If youre religious, that can be comforting. My Dad is dying (SEVERE Diabetic) and I dont know how I would handle it either. But if you believe in prayer, do that. Sometimes it's all ya' got, hon. Just try to think about him in a more peaceful place if that helps. Im sure he is happy. I believe in happiness after death.

I don't feel that it does. Matter of fact sometimes it even feels like it gets worse. My suggestion to you would be to remember positive thoughts about your dad. Just remember you will be with him someday and as of right now he is still there watching everything you do!!!
Pray about it everyday and talk to your dad he can hear you!!!
