My Uncle's son died 3 months ago (My closest cousin) {He was only 15 yrs old.} He is sad and depressed. Should I get him a "father's day card" Or would that be akward since like your son died. Im afraid he might not consider himsef a father anymore! Your best opinion gets 10 points. Would you give him something for Father's day!!

You know what, I would do something for him...I think it would mean a lot. I would probably spend some time (go do something) with him on that day to help take his mind off things and make him feel loved. I think that would mean more to him than a gift. Also you could have a picture of him and his son framed and possibly engraved.

loosing a child doesn't make him any less of a father. He raised his kid for 15 years and he should be recognized for being the father he his. anyway he might be really happy that you gave him a gift because it might trigger some happy times he had with his son and maybe with you and his son playing and you guys could talk about your cousin and help your uncle get past the tragedy. The best thing to do is to give him a gift anyway to show that someone still recognizes him as a father and recognizes all the things he did for your cousin even thought he has passed on. Good Luck

Once a Father ALWAYS a Father. Even though his son died , your uncle will always remember him. A Father's Day card will bring back sad memories of the death, but it should also bring back happy/great/memorable/exciting memories too. Just make sure you add something in the card in your own words to show how you feel about giving him the card.
Maybe a sad face & a happy face! Just a thought.

Loosing someone who is so young is very sad and I think that you thinking about getting your uncle something for fathers day is a very heart felt gesture. Even though his son is gone a parent will never forget their child as long as they live. He was your closest cousin to and what do you think your cousin would want you to do? What would he get for his dad? I think you should get him something because you recognize his pain instead of ignoring it and not doing or saying anything. When people lose someone very close they need the other people in their life more that ever.

I WOULD DEFINETLY GIVE HIM SOMETHING!!!! You have to be there for him and be there for him as a daughter. You have to give him fathers day cards every year. You have to now step up to the plate and become his daughter too as well as your dads. See if your whole family can go tohis house and you should all celebrate Fathers day with him. He of course will remeber times with his son, but that is good. You have to be like his daughter. Get him gifts occasionally. He will think of you as a responsible person. He will love you more than ever becuase you are there for him when he needs it the most.
Hope this Helps!! I am almost in tears becuase it is such a sad story!!!

He is still a father, even though his son died. However, he is not YOUR father, and while I think that it might be nice to send him a"thinking of you..." type card, I would not send him a father's day card.
Or would you have sent him a card last year? If you sent your uncle father's day's cards every year in the past, don't stop now, but I think you would be way off the mark in starting that now.

I think he would love to get a Father's Day card.. He may be depressed but i think it would lift his spirits.. It is a very devastationg situation.. It is gonna be hard for him because it was such a short time ago but i think giving him a card will let him know you care.. you could write him a letter in the card telling him how you feel and try to make him feel allthe better.
Good Luck and I hope everything works out for the best.

I think that getting him a card would be very kind of you. Maybe you could even ask if you could both go and visit your cousins grave together and bring flowers to his grave. Remind your uncle that his son loved him very much -- give him a hug from his son. I am sure that he needs a little support in this difficult time. You sound like a very kind person... so just let this show to him on this special day.
Good luck.

Yes but don't be afraid to tell him how you feel. Get him a card and something small that you know will help remember his son. Also let him know that is okay to cry over his son on Father's Day and you need to be there for him.

Rissie...first of all I'll tell you that I know that best answer get 10 points, but here we people helping each other instead of collecting points. Well, you need sad song. Here no body is good writer. It means you should do it yourself. I have shocked that you like sad things. Everybody need happiness and you need sadness. This time I'll not help you. Write "painkiller" instead of "pain". Best of Luck
