Haley, I am so sorry hon that you are feeling so bad. I think part of grieving is anger and wanting to be left alone. At least I hope it is our you and I are going nuts. I find myself getting mad at people that before I would just blow off. I listen to the phone ring cause I don't want to talk to people. Have you tried journaling? I know that helps me alot. Write letters to her in it, so just write what you are feeling. You will be in my thoughts and prayers and if you ever need to talk..just holler

I put the poem on my Dad's memorial yeaterday, I hope that it was ok that I used it..

I am so sorry for your loss..I lost my Dad also and I know the pain..Thanks for sharing the poem..It was beautiful...

I am so sorry for your loss...Thoughts and prayers are with you...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad 7 months ago tommarow and I still hurt like it was yesterday. Don't push yourself into doing anything more than you feel comfortable with. I did from the get go and haven't stoped. I don't suggest doing that. I still have yet to break down and bawl. I guess that's a good thing, but I am told the longer it waits, the worse it will be. If you want to scream and holler and cry, do it, but also don't forget to remember the good times. I close my eyes during the day and for just a second, I can see him smiling, or saying "now Lil girl"..And for those few moments I am very thankful..I get up every morning, because I know he'd want me too, I try everyday to keep his memory alive, I show my kids things he showed me, and I never ever forget to say I Love You to those I love. Losing my Dad was the hardest thing I have ever gone thru but I am greatful for 33 years..Look in the mirror..She lives in you...Thoughts and prayers for you and if you ever need an ear...

Shelly, I am sorry about your Dad. I wasn't on here on his anniversary, but I am glad you came thru it ok...Thinking of you often and prayers sent to...

Thanks..Prayers are surely welcome...

I am coming up on the 7th month date, tommarow..I am not looking forward to that day. The day is the same..I will be praying for you and your Aunt. Hope all turns out well at her Drs'. I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom.. I was having a moment when I typed this, it is 8 months not 7...

Not sure I have anything else to add, everyone covered it well, but know I am sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you....

Natalie, First I want to say I am sorry for your loss. And like Shell and Leann said, you can only hold it in for so long before the gates open wide. I talk about my Dad often but I can't cry. Losing him was losing my best friend, my number one fan and the only person who never hurt me..So I know what you are feeling..Talk, cry, scream do what ever it takes for you to grieve, and don't be ashamed of it...And if you can't do any of those, then try writing down your feelings. Write letters to him, keep a journal...As for going to college, don't not do that because of him, Think what he would want. Wouldn't he not want you to go and better yourself. When my Dad passed, I wondered how I could go on living, knowing he wasn't any longer and then it hit me, I would go on because he wants me too. He was so full of life and thru me his memory will countinue. So every day, I tell storys about him, or paint a picture, or teach someone something he taught me. And becuase of that, he will live forever in the memories..I miss him everyday so very much, but I know he's happy and what else could I want for him but that. Anyways, in a nutshell, My thoughts and prayers are with you and just keep on posting, there's always someone hear to listen...

Derek, My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your Grandmother..

I agree with Shell. I wish I'd get up the nerve to write a few letters and send them myself. You have feelings and so does yor Dad and if he don't speck up, you should. Don't feel bad. You did nothing but state the truth. ))hugs((

I know what you are feeling...A couple days ago, a older friend said he had something for me if I wanted it, and after he told me what it was, My first thought was...I can't wait to call my Dad and tell him...Alas, I can't..I miss him somedays so much, I can't breath. I spend most of the day alone anyways, so that's ok but there are times I wished I could go curl up somewhere. All I can say is you are in my thoughts and prayers and keep talking, that helps...

Leann, Just a suggestion, but for Father's Day, I bought helium ballons and a card and tied the card to the ballons and let them go. I told my sister about it and she did the same. Kinda like airmail to heaven...Just a thought...

I don't have anymore to add, Shell covered it pretty well. Just take care of yourself and I will be thinking of you...
