It will be a month this Sunday. He was 84, two weeks short of his 85th birthday. We knew it was coming but it is still so hard. I was with him or talked to him everyday. He spent the last two months on hospice care. Hospice nurses are literally angels on earth. What amazing human beings. I'm glad he doesn't suffer anymore, but the last 9 days were horrible. We did the funeral and got his apartment cleaned out. My sisters and I laughed and cried and spent some great quality time with him, but now that everything's over, I find myself thinking of something and saying to myself, "Oh, I have to call dad about that" or "I should make a pot roast for Sunday dinner because Dad loves that." It is just sort of jolting when one of those thoughts pops into my head. If you'd like to read his obituary, here's a link to it. I miss him. Obituary

I'm really sorry for your loss.
When my mom died I kept thinking of things I had to tell her when I got home or I'd go to buy something for her and then remember. That happened for months after she passed.

So sorry. I lost mine almost two years ago. It is still weird not to call him. The hardest was about three months after he died. He really was...gone. I hope you find peace.

I love LDS obituaries. They seem so personal. You almost feel like you knew the person. I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you have great memories to carry you through.

Sorry for your loss. You are lucky that you had such a wonderful connection that you talked with him daily and/or saw him. Many are not so fortunate. I hope that made everything a bit brighter for him as he went through his final months. I cannot even fathom the "hole" in your heart because of that relationship. I wish you brighter, stronger days ahead.
your sharing serves as a reminder for others to reach out to those we may not talk to as frequently as we should. We never know how much time we have. Thank you for the reminder.

So sorry, it is always hard to lose a loved one, no matter their age. It sounds like you were a loving daughter. It's good that he is no longer suffering.
