Dina Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 My Daddy passed away on Mothers Day. At home where he wanted to be. We had him home 12 hours before he passed. I fought with him from the beginning all the way till the end. He passsed on Mothers Day, his wake is tomarrow - my son't birthday and he is being laid to rest on my parents 43rd anniversary......Did he pick these days because they are special to us or did he totally mess with us on this one???? I kept telling him I wanted to take his pain away - I would have changed places with him in a heartbeat - well I did it!!!!! He is pain free and I have the pain that will last me a lifetime. I am still numb - going through the motions - Everyone tells me he is in a better place - BUT - what is better than by my side......I guess once I believe he is in a better place, I will find some peace with all of this. I want to thank everyone here for helping me through this - Dina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Dear Dina, I am so very sorry for your loss. People try to be comforting with words of wisdom, and sometimes it's just not where (we're at) or (what we want to hear), but they don't know what else to say or do. Let most of it fly over your head. Greif is VERY hard. Your father is your shining star. He will shine upon you for ever and ever. This is a very difficult time. Hang on tight. We're here for you.
