My dad died Aug 15th. We’ve held the visitation, celebrated his life, and spent time with friends and family. I have been a daddy’s girl since day one. To say I was his princess, is an understatement! Even at 50 yrs old, he still treated me like his princess. (I am an only). My 2 adult sons are beyond devastated. He was truly my oldest’s best friend. He even asked his grandpa to be his best man when he gets married.
He was 73 years old, but lived life as if he was a lot younger. He and my mom were very active- car shows w/their street rod on display, taking off on bike trips, planning family trips. Life is forever changed. My heart shattered in a million pieces.
Not sure why I’m posting this here. Maybe for guidance on how to live without him?

Oh my, I am SO sorry for your tremendous loss. I know many family members that have gone to grief support groups, and they have really helped them. I pray you and your sons will be comforted in the days and weeks ahead. Hugs!

I'm so very sorry about the loss of your dad. There's really nothing that you can do to make this better today. It's all about time and really allowing yourself to feel those difficult feelings of loss. It's hard to believe, but you will find happiness, again and you will find a new normal, in time. This is a horrible and devastating loss and right now just let people take care of you. It does get much easier. You won't always suffer, just right now.
May your father's memory be for a blessing.

Hugs to you. I am so sorry for your loss. This is how I felt when my mom passed away. All these are normal feelings and getting them out will sometimes help.
Prayers to your family (if you believe). Lots of cyber love to you. Take care of yourself.

I am so sorry. I will be thinking of you and hope you can adjust to not having him near. A father/ daughter relationship is like no other.

I'm so sorry for your (and your family's) loss. I lost my dad half my lifetime ago, and still miss him. I've been thinking about him a lot lately, today would have been his 87th birthday. Be kind to yourself. HUGS.

Losing that special parent is so hard. I am so sorry for your family's loss. I hope that you find comfort in his memory. All the "first" holidays will be hard. And truthfully, the years after are not so easy. But it does get a little easier to move on eventually. I wish you peace.

No words of wisdom, but I totally understand how you feel. I was daddy's girl too, and just about shattered when he died. It's been quite a while, and I'm not longer in danger of falling apart - but I'm sure if you looked closely you could see some faint cracks. I have several things in my house that he made for me, so he's always around - and that's still a comfort to me, 30 years later. Sending you wishes for strength and peace.

I'm so sorry. I lost my dad a few years ago and I'll never be the same again. You don't get over it, it doesn't hurt less over time..you just learn how to handle it better over time.
I'll keep you in my thoughts.
