I am so sorry for your loss, Don. You will be in my thoughts and prayers..

I know exactly what you are saying...I'm not angry or having feelings of guilt or resentment towards my dad. I just miss him so terribly. But I do feel anger and resentment towards other family memebers. I'm angry at my mom, at my siblings, and a so called best friend. I resentent them for being so self centered that they can't see I hurt just as bad. That they can't see that I can only take so many of thier problems onto my shoulders before I collapse..That I need someone to talk to also. That I think it was to soon for my mom to get remarried. I have tried to write letters to everyone, though none will ever get them, but I can't. I hate to hear anyone say "oh my Dad did the funnest thing today" or something of the such...My son said a few days ago "I know Mom, stop nagging me about it" and I came back nicely, "I sure wish I had my Dad here to nag me" He just looked at me and apologized.. So Ya Sweetie, you are not alone..None of us here are. I know the world sometimes feels like it has fallen down on us and there couldn't be anyone out there who knows what we feel, but there is and We do...If you ever need to talk....Any of you...I'm a great listener...

I am so sorry for your losses. Though I haven't lost my mother, I lost my Dad 7 months ago and the pain is still fresh. I can relate to a husband not knowing what to say or do. My hubby lost his father 2 1/2 years ago and still grieves. But when I cry for my Dad, he just touches my hand and doesn't say a word. Which actually is what I need. Sometimes words aren't what you look for. I don't really have many close friends, my "best" friend of 15 years up and deserted me after my Dad's passing. Just water under the bridge..Anyways, You are in my prayers and thoughts and if you ever need to talk...

I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom sounded like a wonderful woman. Prayers going out to your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you will be in my thoughts and prayers....

I am so sorry for you losses...Losing any thing close to your heart is hard. My Dad paased away March 7, 2006 and I came back home and my horse Crash passed 2 weeks after my Dad...I felt like the world was falling down around me..

Thanks all for your kind words. I am so very sorry for all your losses. I'm glad I found this place, Thanks again... I have always been there for my family, listening to thier feelings and trying to help them. And if it weren't for my hubby and kids, I'd probably got nuts. They are what keeps me strong. I know Mom hurts, and that is probably why she says what she says. But why push away those who can share in your pain? My sister lives less than a block away from her, and now they aren't even speaking. And me who is thousands of miles away is in the middle. I knew what a major part in our world my Dad was, but to have the family fall to pieces after his death, never occured to me..I figured if and when he passed, it would be me who would be no longer "part" of the family. Though that holds some what of truth, it seems to be even more so those out West. Thanks for listening...

Hi Penny. I am new here, but I just finished reading your post and I wanted to say how very sorry I am for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers...

Hi. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 33 year old mother of 2. I lost my Dad 7 months ago. He got sick on Thursday night and passed on Tuesday morning. I live in Ny and my parents live in Az, but I was able to get there on Sunday and am so very glad I did. They said they knew he hung on till I got there. I am the baby of the family and Daddy's little girl. He was my hero, My first love, the only one I could count on. I took care of all that needed done and was the strong one, because that's what Dad would have wanted me to do. And then I went home and am left to pick up my feelings. I haven't hardly cried, but when I do, it was for days. I have done everything I know how to do to keep his memory alive. It isn't getting easier, in fact I think it gets harder. My family (mom and siblings) don't hardly talk to each other and they bring me in the middle. My mom is having a hard time and instead of dealing with it, she gets mad at everyone. I know she's hurting but she told me that I couldn't possibly hurt anything like she does. I try to take it with a grain of salt, but it hurts, cause I do hurt and maybe not the same way she does but I think I hurt the same amount. He was my best friend and I don't think we could have been any closer. We talked every day , more than once a day. And they would come and spend the summers with us on the farm. My dad loved it here, Mom did not. He would spend hours in his and my garden, feeding the animals, working in the barn and helping us restore our house. I miss him so terribly and I can't seem to feel better. I am sorry this is so long and thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope I get to know you all better. Thanks for listening.
