Sorry to hear about your loss. My father passed away about 7 years ago and I know it can be a difficult time. It gets better over time. At the time my father passed away I didn't really think the way I do now but I think its important to remember that your father didn't really die - he lives on for eternity just like we all do. Its tough for us to really think of eternity and what a really short time we're actually here for. I tried to keep busy after my dad died so that I didn't really have a lot of time to think about it or grieve which I think helped me out. I think by keeping busy (work, sports, hobbies) and not thinking about it too much and having support from my loved ones helped me find inner peace. Also meditation and remembering the big picture (the spirit lives for eternity) helped me find inner peace. I hope you find your inner peace. God Bless you

My dad died 4 years ago and I was with him he had been suffering from complications due to diabetes. He had lost his leg and was to go in on wensday to have a blood clot removed and his other leg on monday night he's kidneys failed and he went into a coma. He was with me for the next week in a half. The moment right before he passed he looked at me and smiled the most beautiful peaceful smile I have ever seen. That is what has helped me find peace all these years. I am very thankful to God for the chance to meet and have this greatman in my life and I am for ever grateful he was my dad. Look to God you are not alone and he is always there all the time. Just remember your good times and know he loved you and he wouldn't want to see you hurt as you have. You will be okay and only time will heal and i am praying for you .

So sorry to hear about your loss. It is a difficult time for you. Although many people have lost a parent;right now it feels like you are the only person in the world going through this. Allow your emotions to flow. Anger,sadness,despair,resnetment. Let it out and do not keep them bottled up inside. share your feelings with those close to you. Recall all the good times and fun things you did with your father. It is a slow process to heal...this is a life-altering event. Do what is natural. Allow yourself to mourn. In the span of 18 months my father, wife, and mother all died. I was dumbfounded. I finally let my feelings go and felt such a burden come off my shoulders. .....Hope you get through this alright.

i am very sorry for your loss. i'm afraid you must find your own peace. it won't happen right away. it may not happen for a year but, you will find it.in the meantime, talk about him. remember him. know that he loved you with all his heart and did not want to leave you now. pray for guidance and support. grieve together as a family but take the time you need for yourself. to help you say the things you may have wished you said, write your dad a letter. tell him anything you want. tell him how you feel. you can choose to keep it or send it with him. it's up to you. i hope you find the peace you seek soon.
god bless.

Sorry to hear that. All I can say it will take time. My auntie just passed away last March and am still missing her and in denial that she's still alive. That's just my auntie, what more is losing a dad?
So it really takes time, never hurry never rush, otherwise it will not heal properly. It's all in acceptance. But that really takes time to accept and move on.

So sad to hear about your dad.It will take time.For what do the dead want from us?A sacrifice of our live?No,I think they ask of us to go on celebrating the rhythms of life. but now in a special way.From a Grace Unfolding
