deadpool-im not emo you dumbASS

Answer 1

do the best you can with yourself and your life. He wouldn't want anything less for you. Time will help you to heal. just think of the love you've shared with him.

Answer 2

You never really get over it. My Dad died 14 years ago and I still think of him. The pain gets a little better in time but you always have those memories. I don't really want to lose the memories of my Dad cause in my eyes he lives on through those memories. It will take some time for the pain to lesson but you will always miss him. Just remember that your Dad wouldn't want to to suffer so much and he would want you to go on and live your life without so much pain.

Answer 3

I lost my Dad a couple of years ago and regardless what anyone says you never get over it. You do learn to live with it. I wish I could give you a big hug baby because it was definately the hardest thing I have ever gone and am going through! What I find myself doing is talking about him more. Funny stories, regular everyday life things and it keeps him near me. I also think that you need to think about some of the happiest times you had together and try and focus on the good and less on the sorrow. While it is good and healthy to grieve you also need to know that you are so loved and no one who loves you (especially your pops) would want you walking around living a sad life that you do no deserve. When you miss him and need to give him a hug, pass it on. When you want to talk to him, turn to another and tell them what you would say. Take everything day by day and know that death does not seperate love.

Answer 4

Hello my dear friend. I wish I could meet deadpoop face to face. It would be the last time anyone ever did... I don't know what it feels like to lose a parent, but I know any loss like that stays with you forever, and the first year is the hardest, because you come up on all the important days that he's not there for. Always cherish his love, and continue to live well and be happy. Think of how sad he would be knowing that his passing stopped you from living a full happy life. Do all the things he taught you and pass on the stories. He gave you your life, appreciate that and thank him every day by loving life.

Answer 5

I am 28 yrs old and it will be five yrs ago this September since I lost my dad. I STILL miss him! I think I always will. You will never get over it. There will always be a void in your life. My dad was like the "rock" of our family and now it's like we're all crumbling without him. It's so sad... I am so sorry that you lost your dad. I know you are hurting. I know I find it hard to even breathe when I think about him. I try to avoid that if I can help it. There will be something that I say or someone else in my family says that will bring up these feeligns inside of me and I just start to cry all over again. It gets easier as time goes by, but so far, it's not gone away. I wish you all the best in this time of terrible sorrow and pain. My suggestion is to make sure you try and talk about your dad. Try and remember the good times you shared with him. At first it may break your heart but as time goes by it gets easier to think about those times. You actually start to feel a peace when you think about the good times. If I allow myself to think to much about his death or his fight with cancer, I get overwhelmed. But as long as I'm thinking about his life when he was healthy, it feels good! Stay close to your family and learn to lean on each other. You will all need to talk about it at different times so try and be there for each other. Again, I'm so sorry about what you're going through... =(

Answer 6

Sorry for your loss. My dad died 10 years ago and there are still days when the pain overwhelms me. I do try and honor him by being a kinder person. He was... he sang all the time and I find myself doing that too and that makes me smile...he loved this country and believed in giving back and I fly the flag proudly and speak to every service man I can to thank them and became an EMT to give back...
It gets easier...but not everyday is...

Answer 7

Read the Bible and fine new things or maybe one of your dad's friends and talk with them sometimes remember there is a season for everything season for mourning and also a season for joy...so leave the crying alone and smile at all the happy thoughts ...I have lost my grandmother and everyday I think of her I just want to sit back and just cry my eyes out but my crying will not bring her back and besides I do not want to bring her back to this cruel world...she has suffered enough so I am just working to get where she is at (heaven) and I am in no rush just living life...smiles

Answer 8

My dad died when i was 2, so i dont remember him that much... but i still miss not having a dad tho because i had a lot of father daughter things but i never had a dad to go with. ='[

Answer 9

i have lost all my parents within a 4 year time span.

i cried alot at first. i went thru a mental and emotional break down.

then i picked myself up and threw myself into my work and into my two kids.

find something like schooling, work, friends, etc. that you can throw yourself into. over time, you will see that even though the big hole in your heart is still there, you are crying less often.

if you need to talk, email me. i will listen and try to help you through it. good luck and i wish you well!

Answer 10

You never actually get over it. But, over time you learn to accept it as part of life and you remember the very best about your Dad.

With me, it is his sense of humor that I remember most fondly. I still laugh at him and he died in 2000.

Answer 11

You don't but it will hurt less as time goes on !!! It's been 11 years for me and I still miss him but as time passes you remember all the good and none of the bad !!!! That is when it starts feeling good !!!!
