Found out this morning that they cremated him yesterday. I know it takes time. I don’t feel good today. I have to get him an urn.

I lost my father in 2005. Good riddance.

I lost my mother in 2016. May she RIP.

My father killed himself, but I was only 3 years old.

I don’t think I can say I suffered the loss from the actual event as I was too young.

However, you notice when someone isn’t there

Sorry for your loss

:green_heart:

I’m sorry about your dad @roxanna.

Mine passed away a little over a year ago.

It helps me to remember to be patient with myself in my grief. They say grieving is a process and I’m finding out that that’s very true.

Hey @Joker sorry to learn that

If it doesn’t bother u may I ask why did he take his own life

He cheated, got kicked out by my mother, was an alcoholic and basically spent every last penny we had on booze

I remember the last time I saw him - he gave me a Ghostbusters helicopter

Anyways, back when it was possible, he gassed himself in his mechanic garage

Probably making a bigger deal of it than it seems

Sounds pretty dramatic, but to be fair would I have wanted someone like that around?

Ok sounds like he wasn’t a very good husband and father

Forgive me if it brought you bad memories

Still he should not have taken his own life

Anyways may he RIP

Not at all - no problem

My dad died when I was 18. It really sucked, and I still cry about it sometimes. He was an amazing father and a huge source of support for me. It was really hard learning how to get through life without him.

I’ve lost both of my parents. Don’t know what to say except that there are things in life that have to be lived to be understood.

I lost my Mom in 2019 to advanced dementia.

I miss her but the pain has gotten a bit better.

It’s going to take some time @roxanna

Hold him in your heart.
