Lost my dad today Haven't been on here in awhile but was just trying to find something to do to try to ease my mind some tonight so thought I'd read some post on YT. I lost my dad this morning. He has not been well for the last 1 1/2 years but really got much sicker the last few months. It doesn't matter if you expecting it or not the hurt is still the same. He was a good good man and he put up such a fight for so long but I guess he was just tired. The sad thing is his birthday is Sunday and that is the day we will be burying him. I feel so guilty because I was going to his house yesterday afternoon and was on the way to the car but the wind was bad and I was afraid to get out in it and drive so I decided to wait and go this morning since my daughter said he was sleeping and doing better. I got to the house this morning and the nurse said he had stopped breathing about 4-5 mins before I got there. I tried CPR and the paramedics got there right after me but he was already gone. I just hope he knows how sorry I am that I wasn't there when he needed me. I love you daddy. |
No words can take away your pain right now but knowing in your heart you did what you could for him will help ease it. |
I'm so sorry. Losing a parent certainly leaves a big hole in our hearts. It makes us feel like a lost child again. |
I am so sorry for your loss.... |
I am so sorry for your loss, and send warm thoughts and prayers of comfort to you. |
I am very sorry for your loss, I haven't lost a parent, however I lost my younger brother in 94. Your Dad knows, and would not have wanted you driving in bad weather. I hope time, family, and friends help ease your pain, prayers for you and your family. Sorry Quad & Gina:aimeeyork |

I feel the hurt in your words and my heart aches for you. Many thoughts and prayers as you deal with your grief. |
dog Sending prayers of comfort to you. I was not there when my dad passed away. Now I work with hospice patients and I know for some reason I was not meant to be there. Patients will wait until family arrives before they leave us or sometimes patients will wait until you slip out of their room and then they will take their last breath. Your precious dad is not suffering. You will be surrounded by all our caring prayers here on this forum. |
I am so sorry for your loss. |
My heart goes out to you on the sad loss of your Dad. Know that your Dad would not have wanted you to drive in the windy conditions. The grief counselor I went to after losing my husband last year always said "be kind to yourself". The hospice nurse said the same thing Sandy said. My son and daughter were there all day the day my husband passed. I sent them home in the early evening and just before I was leaving later that night Ken passed away. I think he didn't want the kids there but wanted me there. He knew I would have been upset if I hadn't been there. Take card of yourself and let others help. Hugs |
My deepest condolences going out to you!!! It must have wrenched your heart, and still does, that you didn't get there before he travelled to his next chapter:( My heart breaks for you!!! He would understand that you wanted to get to him safely. CRAP that you are burying him on his birth day! Since I am a person who has lost both parents in the last few years, I can only imagine what you are going through. Try, try to remember the good times and all that he gave you. Shed big tears if that's what you feel. It's ok to do this. I guess, in time, your heart will get the piece back that's shattered right now. For me, I am still in denial of both my passing and think to phone them sometimes, but remember I can't:( This is not about me I know, just sharing my feelings with you. Big hugs during this difficult situation. Just try to think that he is at peace right now and not suffering any longer. It is always the ones left behind that take on the suffering after the loss of a loved one. Hope some/any of this helps you. |
My deepest condolences to you and your family on your beloved Dad's passing. I hope you can feel all of our hugs surround you at this sad time. :love: |
I am very sorry for your loss and praying you will find comfort in knowing your dad is at peace. Praying for you and your family. |
Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. What a tremendous amount of guilt you are carrying. You need to let that go someday, you were a great daughter and had a lot of love and respect for your Dad. I'm sure he knew that and loved you right back. Things (like not being there) happen for a reason. (((HUGS))) |
My heart is with you tonight and hope the pain will lessen soon and turn into wonderful memories...never forgetting him though. Just remember the days you were there and forget this one last time that must have not been meant to be. I loved my Mother but my Dad and I were like two peas in a pod and we were so close. I think so often Dad and Daughter relationships are that way. You are in my prayers sweetie, it's such a difficult part of life. (((hugs))) Joan |
I am so so sorry for your loss :( |
I\'m so sorry about your loss. May time help ease your pain. |
I am so sorry for your loss. As I\'m sure you already know, our love ones remain forever in our hearts. Your love of your dad is so easily felt. I\'m certain he knew how much you love him. |
