my parents died in 2001 and 2002.
it took about 4 years.
i still think about them first thing every morning and last thing every night.
the pain is gone. however, all the memories remain and i think about them daily.
now i just remember the good times,bad times, the ironic and funny things, their laughter and things like!
many people have connections that heal very slowly. it sometimes take many years before the pain begin to dim and recede.

Both of my parents are gone, my father died when I was 5 and my mother when I was 26. Although I have to say that you never stop missing them, my faith in God has allowed me to move to a place where it's not a horrible weight pressing down on my heart each time I think of them. There was a time that I would go into a depression every year on their birthdays and around the time that they died that went on for 20 years. As my faith grew, and I recognized that they had the same kind of faith. I realized that they were doing better than I was, and were in a far better place! The void in your life will never truly go away, and you will never stop missing them, but the time will come when you will be at peace.

My step-dad who raised me from the time I was 9 died 3 years ago. I'm not over it yet. I even named my daughter after him b/c I was pregnant w/her when he died. I know exactly how you feel. I think about him everyday. My kids still have a hard time with it. I don't know if the pain actually ever does go away, I just know that we learn to live without them. And I find at times that it is so hard. I still cry and my heart is still broken. I ask God every day to make it a little easier on me and some days it is, others it's not. I was just thinking today that I know he didn't die wondering if I loved him. He knew. I remember that I told him I loved him the last day I saw him alive. My only regret is that I didn't tell him more often than I did. Email me if you ever need someone to talk to. I hope you feel better.

Hey Mr. Good night my mom passed in 12/97 Father passed in 5/00, Its been a while but you do get over it you don't ever forget them as you know, there are always reminders, when I look at my brothers or my children, But every day and every year it does get easier. We still celebrate their birthdays with the family, and we all sit and talk about if they could see how well all of the grandchildren turned out how proud they would be. Thanks for your question Mr. Goodnight, and just know it will and does get easier, just take one day at a time and God never puts anymore on us then we can bear. God Bless You :)

my father died over forty years ago and although i have accepted it i don't think i will fully get over it. i missed out on being daddys little girl and because of that i don't know how to take men, i think fathers teach their daughters how to better under stand men. I also lost my mother 10 years after my father and i am still mad at her for leaving me (she comitted suicide when i was 15) Neither of my parents got to see my children and I feel bad about that to this day. I do not let it consume me but it is a nagging feeling way down deep

You don't, but you can start remembering the good times, and will find yourself smiling at some of the memories. You will always feel that loss in your heart, but you can heal the wounds by memories, especially with those around you. I have lost mine, too, and I am so sorry for you. Get out those pictures, and if you feel like crying, do so, it's like putting a bandaid on, and every time you replace it, it will bleed less, but you'll always carry the scar.

I lost my husband seven years ago and my daughter still isn't completely over it. They say time heals all wounds, but they don't specify how much time. Everyone deals with it in their own way, it will come. Each year will get easier and easier. Hang in there and the more you talk about it, the easier it gets.

It has been over 25 years that my Mother passed away and I am still not over it, nor am I 'over' losing my Dad about 15 years ago. I still miss them.
