I lost my dad 3 yrars ago this coming July and then lost my mama last September. I know how you are feeling. I had a little while with my daddy before he passed away but only a few days with my mama. So I have been through the sudden loss and then lingering loss of a parent. There are so many questions that we seem to have when we suffer loss. I won't have all the answers but I will listen to your hurts and aches. If you need to talk, I am here. You can also visit my blog that is in my profile. God bless you.

My father booked ticket to come to our house and stay for some time with us. But suddenly he had brain attack and became unconcious in my sister's house. By the time I went to that state, he passed away. It was horrible to see my father's body when I should have seen him alive and in my house.

I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. I know that was so upsetting that you didn't get to see your dad before he passed away. He is still with you in your heart. I am here if you ever need to talk.

I just lost my dad last October. The memory of him still lingers on in my mind. I have not come to term with his passing away, more so when I've spend the last few weeks looking after him and he has told me that he wishes to stay on another 3 years before he leaves the world. It was not meant to be. I regret for not having been with him during his last few years cos he went on self exile after falling out with my mom. I am glad that he has fully reconciled with the family at the last hours of his life. He had his last confession and holy communion before he passed away.

Zandi, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. I know the pain. I still break down in tears by maybe just seeing someone helping their daddy or mama. It brings back memories and I cry. Crying is good healing. It is so important that we all get everything straightened out with our family members. It makes our loss a little more acceptable. Zandi, I am here for you if you ever need to talk because it does seem to get unbearable at times but it is so nice to know you have friends to share your pains with.
