OMG..........My dad's dead!!
 
I can't believe this! No one told us. My sister hadn't heard from my father for a while and google searched his name. He's gone. He died in a car accident Thursday morning. How can this happen? No one tried to contact us. I can't believe my dad is gone. I haven't seen him..............in so long. We never had a chance to get close. Why can't I cry? This man was my father.............

Kris, I'm so sorry. It's so hard to lose a loved one, especially parents, even when we're not close to them. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

I'm so sorry to hear of this loss right now you probably are thinking a hundred thoughts and in shock. Give it time and allow yourself to grieve and have a good cry. We are all here if u need us.

rahsue 07-16-2007 04:44 PM

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my father in 1995 and it seems like yesterday. I'm sorry you never got close to him but I'm sure he'll be watching out for you now from above.

Lobo 07-16-2007 04:46 PM

(((Loves))) My deepest sympathy. I'm sorry you had to find out the way you did.
When you get over the shock it will become reality to you, and maybe you can have a good cry. Remember the light is always on at SR.

Prayers for you and your family............Lois

Thank you all for being here. The tears are starting to come. This is all I have. An artical in a newspaper. This is the last picture I have. It doesn't seem real........this man who used to take me to the Nutcracker Ballet every year around Christmas time when I was little. This is all that's left. This is what I got to see. It's not fair. It just doesn't seem real.

cinderellawkids 07-16-2007 05:24 PM

My deepest sympathys Loves.

Finding out this way will likely be harder on the empotions, try to feel it all now rather than prolong the grief

dollydo 07-16-2007 05:29 PM

Loves,

Unfortunately, life is not fair, I wish it was.

Take the time to grieve, to work through the loss.

The HP makes all the final decisions, when we are born and when we die, we do not.

My heart goes out to you in your time of loss.

Coming on late Kris. I am so very sorry. I am extending my sympathy in your time of loss.

You will grieve and life often isn't fair. Your HP is holding him now.. and you as well.

Mertzie 07-16-2007 06:32 PM

I'm very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose a parent, and to find out in this way.. I'm so sorry. I understand the shock, as I learned of my dad's death in a similar manner. Sending prayers that you and your family will find comfort during this difficult time.

Love I AM SOO sorry for ur lose and especially the way you found out..

its not easy to hear about ur father being gone and knowing you didnt get to spend that time with him.

it hurts im sure i will pray for u that God will comfort you through this..

CatsPajamas 07-16-2007 06:43 PM

Kris,

I am so very sorry for your loss. You might not be able to cry now, but in time you'll be able to process all those emotions. You may be angry, sad, ok, happy, and hysterical all in the same day - and it's all normal!

It's hard when you lose someone that you haven't seen or spoken with in awhile. I know I felt some guilt for not being in contact more, and for not knowing that the last time I spoke with my dear friend really would be the LAST TIME.

We're here for you. 24/7 and we'll keep a light on for ya.

HUGS

splendra 07-16-2007 06:54 PM

Oh ((((((Loves))))) I am so sorry. Give yourself time to process... it is rather sudden. If he had been sick for a while you would have been more prepared.

Since you haven't been spending much time with him lately a distance developed. I am sure he knew you love him and had some fond memories of him.

You have been through a lot in the past several years now it one more thing. You know we are here to walk with you in this one....

duet_4-8 07-16-2007 06:55 PM

Loves,

I'm so sorry! I wish I had some words of wisdom for you, but all I have is hugs and prayers...

I lost my dad on August 19 of last year; someone told me then that we never really become adults until we lose a parent. I think I understand what she meant.

Please take care of yourself! I love you!
