So sorry Devon, I know how hard it is to lose your Father. Mine died on Father's Day 3 years ago too. The pain will eventually cease, but your memories are forever and he will live in your heart as long as you live and your children's lives too. Love, prayers and blessings Chris

So sorry to hear of the difficulties you are facing Devon. I guess a lot of us here have lost one or both of our parents and it is a challenge to our sense of love and great loss to find a way through these times. We are affected in different ways and to varying degrees and so advice is often difficult. What helps one person may not be relevant to another. Chris is quite right in that time is a wonderful healer. It is the good memories that are important together with the loving support of those around you. Above all, remember that your Dad would not have wanted this continuing sadness for you, but simply for you to respect his memory and the good times you had together. Undoubtedly, he would want you to get on and enjoy your own life. This is what Dad's want for their daughters.

Dear Devon,<
Not an easy thing to go through, lost my mom 2 years ago this August,
just remember all the good times you shared and send him your love throught the clouds, I am sure he is watching and waiting,

Prayers for you to ease your pain
hugs
Michelle

Oh Devon i remember last year u had a bad time also .I was Daddy wee girl to and know just how u feel i will pray for u hugs carolyn

Devon, So sorry to hear you are having a hard time - I understand perfectly, I lost my Father 22 years ago, and my Mum just 12 weeks ago. I am having a hard time accepting she is gone, I'm feeling lost, and feeling that I don't belong to anyone, now they are both gone. At 92 1/2, Mum was still very bright mentally, still crocheting, and knitting , and loved to read.
My husband has also lost both parents, but we have each other and our children.
People say "life goes on" - yes, but it's a different life, the family unit is broken. Mother's day was very hard for me.
Take care, thinking of you.

Devon, remember the laughter, the fun times and how much he loved you. Share the special laughter, and special memories with someone on the 15th and know that you are loved.
Hugs,
Max

Get a pretty little notebook and write him! Put down your memories of him and you'll have them to read back through. Can add pics and make it your special book. Just keep it handy to jot things in as you think of them. I still miss my Dad but he would not have wanted to stay in the condition he was in, so somehow that helps me. Ultimately, the way we live our lives, esp. after losing parents, either honors or dihonors their teachings. In this way, we "keep" them with us.

Hi Devon, I can empathize. Tomorrow will be a better.

Dear DeVon - I cannot believe that it is three years ago. Be strong and just remember the happy times you had with your dad. Love and hugs Sarah.

Hi Devan, I can feel with you, as my dad passed away several years ago, also on this day and 3 years later my brother passed away also on this day. So thankful for the memories I have. One thing I have done is made a "memory box" with several things and other memory items like photos, etc. Will be thinking and praying for you as I understand how difficult it is.
Hugs, Christie in Germany

Devon I wish I could say something that would make you feel better. No words are going to be good enough. My dad passed away on my last birthday. Grieving is such a personal thing. My husband passed away and I thought I was doing Ok until the 7 year anniversary of his death when I balled my eyes out. Having said all this I am sending you a huge big hug.

You got it!
Hang in there and allow yourself to grieve. It aids in the healing process. I lost my dad in 2005 and I'm just now getting to where I can speak of him without falling apart. I've lost 27 family members since then, but his was the worst because I had absolutely no warning when he left us. There will come a time when you will be able to smile when you tell stories of how things were. Hang in there!

It is always difficult to lose one you love. hang in there it does get better. Everyone grieves at their own pace. There is not right or wrong. Prayers are with you! Suzanne

Prayers for you and **BIG HUGS**

Devon, it is hard to loose someone dear. You never can really recover from it. And sometimes there are little things that remind you of that person, all of a sudden. Sherish those moments, and keeping on loving that person. You know one day we will all meet them again. Big hugg send. Linda

I understand. My mom has been gone since 1977 and I still miss her. Still want to call her. I'm not going to tell you that you will ever get over loosing him. But it does become easier as time goes on. Just keep thinking about him and loving him.

prayers and hugs for you my dear. It's Always hard to loose a dear one. And the day they did die, is a day you always remember. Hope you have many happy memories . he will Always keep that special place in your heart. Hugs, Gerry

Prayer are been sent to your father. i know how it feels the loss of a dear family

It's never easy to lose a love one! Cry if you must because it's all part of the healing process. Some days will seem better than others and some will feel like it's impossible. Hold onto and cherish the memories you both had. The poem "Footprints" are true! At our hardest times...the Lord will carry us. I know that your heart will get lighter but I can't tell you when. Until then just know that your father loved you with a love that never dies. HUGS to you!

I know how you are My Mum past to . all I can say is , say to yourself " would he like to see you this way " the answer is no. so try to rejoyce the good times the happy times you had together and he will be pleased . you know this is true.
hugs Pam.

DeVon, I know from experience someone close passing gets the best of you at times, and you think you are doing fine, then WHAM, back to square one.. It has only been 2 months since my wonderful husband went to Heaven and some days all I can do is cry, because I miss him so very much. Be assured, you are in my Prayers, Loves, Judy
