I am so sorry for your loss, labgirl!
I have been where you are with the sudden loss of loved ones. It can be a dark place. My dad has recently had a slew of medical issues with little answers other than old age, and I know his time is coming. It’s hard.
I hope you will surround yourself with support and keep coming to SR too.
Remember this too shall pass.
I like Soberwolf’s quote. I believe the spirit never dies. It lives on in those left behind.

Hi Labgirl, my mother suddenly passed away in November. I think I know how you feel. I was blindsided and it has been tough for me as things really start to sink in. My mother was an alcoholic for 30 years. She was found to have undiagnosed cancer on her interal organs including her liver. I am sure the drinking was a key factor. I give you my sincere condolences.

My mom doesn't want to do Christmas. I feel the same. Not sure how the sibs will feel though. Both Dad and Mom have birthdays on Christmas eve. I already have signs and cards seems like I'll never stop crying.

How are you doing Labgirl? My mom died on November 22. My dad is numb. My siblings and I saw it coming at some point. I figured I would have a chance to say goodbye, but because I am also an alcoholic, my family kept me at a distance. Mom was in denial. Dad has also been in denial as her enabler. We will get tbrough this. I am just really starting to mourn. My dad isn't functional I think.

Hi. I cant thank you all enough for your words of encouragement and support. I am overwhelmed with gratitude.
the funeral was yesterday. The entire day felt unreal. There were several times I just suddenly became aware and wondered what's going on......then I'd remember.
the funeral was beautiful. It was a wonderful celebration of the life of a man who touched so many other lives with love. My dad is a born again Christian and truly loved his life in that manner. I'm so proud to call him my dad. I love him so much. We all do. At the graveside there was miliatary honor group. My dad is an army veteran. My cousin who is also a veteran presented the flag to my mom. It was all so very sweet.
please forgive my rambling and typos. I'm crying as I try to get this out. I don't think anything will ever be the same. I miss him so.
I miss you and love you Dad. Happy birthday.
