Just me

And when you say that first thing and know it has helped someone you will be surprised how much it helps you also.

That being said, there will also be times that the site does make you feel bad. Each new person who joins takes the "chance" of being hurt because it brings back memories, but that's not all bad. It lets us recognize our own feelings are still there. You may find you even need a break from time to time, but all in all I think you'll find it helps.

Thanks

My mother is the only person I have to talk to and right now I dont want to poor my feelings on her because, I know she is going through her on problems. Before I found this site I was holding everything in. I never thought that people would really respond to my post. Just being able to write my thoughts was helping me. The memories that have came back to me on this site have been good ones. My father passing was not good but, knowing where he is now is good and i find joy in that.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my post. I have had my share of tears and I know more will come in time. 2day mmakes one month and I think that I am just now comming 2 turms with the fact he is gone. Today I did not want to get out of bed but i came to realize that my father wants me to live my life and enjoy it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me know that I am greatful for you and other people who have taken the time to reply to me post. Just the few days I have been here I have gotten alot of helpful replies. Today have been one of my better days. I relize that I have to take things one day at a time and do what I can and do not worry about the rest. I am proud of myself today I worked out and did some cleaning. The good thing about it I wanted to do these things most of the time I have to make myself do them. I am glad that i joined this site.

Thanks for shareing this. I did it and let go of a lot of negitive feelings that I have of my fathers death. THANKS so much!

My father passed away 8 years ago. I had his number written in a little notebook, normally a kind of throwaway thing when all the pages are used. Now I've got 1 page left in the notebook with my father's phone number. I have not been able to throw it away; feels like a piece of my Dad. And I'm ok with that; it's nothing that causes me concern. I think you and I are normal. Or else we are all crazy, and that's ok too, so long as we are crazy together.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I was scred to join this site because I thought it would make me feel worse but thanks to people like you. This site is helping me cope with the pain. I am glad that I joined this site. I hope that in time I will be able to say something that will help others like you and others are helping me.

Is it normal to keep loved ones numbers saved when they have passed away? I have my fathers cell number and the number to the hospital room that he was in before he passed in my cell phone and I can not bring myself to deleting them. In the back of my mind I say that one day he will call even though I know he want. Am I crazy are what?

I lost my father on Jan. 19,2010. He had liver cancer. He lived with it for seven months. When the doctors gave him a few days to a week. I did all that I could to help him and my mom. I know that he is at peace and is now with God. I was my Daddys rock and still is my moms. Two Sundays ago I whent to church for the 1st time after my fathers passings and my world feel like it has fallen a part. I feel like I cant going on. I cry for no reason at all. I feel stressed out all of the time. I am tryin to keep things togather for my MOM. But it is really hard when my brother who is older than me is not doing his part. I know that I have to let go and let GOD. In time I believe that I will be able to bu right now I feel that if I let go I am letting go of my father and his wants. He wants me to look out for my MOM and take care of her. Can someone please help me by telling me some things i can do to cope with the loss of my father.

Thanks in advance.
