When u lose you Dad and if so when?

Jacqui my love to you and big hugs, my dad is 73 and today has helped me in so many ways, when he left I broke down crying on my own as I cant bear the thought of him not being here, God bless you love and your Dad, caz xxxxxxxxxxx

It gets easier eventually Jacqui, just give yourself time and allow yourself to grieve in your own way. I lost my dad last year, and I still get days when I miss him so much.

Hiya Jacqui, My wife lost her Dad 14 years ago, and still her eyes fill with tears. Today is his birthday, he would have been 83 today. God bless you both Jacqui, take care xx

No..Sorry but i dont think the hurt ever stops.. I lost my Daddy when i was just 15, he was 43.. The hurt is still there, 15 years on..I have just learned to deal with it better..As you will too... (((HUGS))) The reason we hurt is because we love them, try to see it as i do as a constant reminder of the Love we shared... LOU XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx

Hi Jacqui My Dad died four and a half years ago now. It was very sudden and an enormous shock. The hurt will ease eventually. It's a gradual thing that takes time and everyone id different. There's not a day goes by when I don't think of him. Some days I can smile, others I just burst into tears. Just take each day as it comes and go with the way you feel. ((((((BIG HUGS)))))) for you darl xxxx

I don't really know as I was 6 when my dad died..but I still think about and miss him every day x

My dad died unexpectedly last April, I get good days and bad days. I try and remember the good times we had, but that sometimes makes me cry, as I know there will be no more. A cliche I know, but time does help to ease the pain. Sue

Dad died 11th July in France I made the funeral but today was his memorial in England and I am in Spain and I miss him

dad died the same year as HRH diana princess of wales,i can now except hes gone,but the hurts still there.but i can now laugh at the daft things he said and did.he left us a legacy of fun and laughter,and most of all love.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My Dad died on the 30th of October 1987, and I posted on the in memoriam thread a couple of days ago because it might have been difficult to type it on the 30th on Monday.

That is so true Joy. My sister and I often talk and laugh about his quirky ways, he was a grumpy awkward old so and so at times, but we always laughed with him, and after he died, we both still felt surrounded by the love he had for us both. Still do.

Thank you all........Guess I am gonna miss him but the little memories of him are to be smiled about, can some one then stop the tears, gulp

my dad died dec 8th 1980 and still miss him. I think I always will.

My mum has just phoned me to tell me dad has won £10 on the lottery. Dad died in April, but she still does his numbers, and we had a little laugh about how he always seems to win £10 every couple of weeks just like we did when he was here. Sue

teresa my dad was hilarious,i never knew of anyone who did,nt like him.he fought in ww2 at dunkirk then burma.he was a hero ,but he was also my hero.i adored him ,still do.i held his hand when he died.its the least i could do.he was always there for me.god bless ya dad.xxxxxxxxxxxx

My Dad was so scared when he knew he was dying of prostate cancer, and I promised I would be with him at the end. Sadly he died on the Saturday morning, and I wasn't there. For a long time I hated that thought, but the last words I ever spoke to him were 'I love you' as I left him the evening before. I now take comfort in that maybe that was all he was waiting for. I held that hand two hours after, and still felt as though he knew I was there. Jacqui, you don't have to turn off the tears, let them flow. If you don't you'll explode when you least expect it. Cry for him if you need to, laugh with him when you are ready, take out those old photos and videos if you have them only when you feel able to watch them or look at them. The important thing is to give yourself time, and ignore anyone who suggests you should have got over it by now...they know nothing!

Ooo Sue you just made me laugh... I still do Dads no's only cos I did em on the QT but I think my stepmum also does them.
