Dearest Katie Sue

I'm no expert and it wasn't my Dad but my Mom that passed-it has been 20 years in Sept. and let me tell you it still feels like yesterday to me-time does heal the pain and you will get to were you remember the good more and more and you'll find you'll even be able to laugh at and about those good times. I met the man of my dreams during the passing of my Mom and he not only understood but gave me time to morn and one day he told me it was time to let go of the pain and remember the good. It was the hardest thing to hear but I prayed and during times of really missing her, like marriage,having my two children, she always seem to be there my sister-in-law even weaved my Moms picture into my flowers I carried in my wedding-my husband held her picture in the room during the births of my kids-she was there! You will find it does get easier

it just takes time-some more than others.

May God bless you and I will be praying for

Hi Suszanne, it is good to see you hereInnocent  You know she is so right.  Time does heal all wounds.  Yes it is eaiser said than done, but it does happen, and yes it does hurt, but that is all part of the healing process.  Your dad is always going to be with you, the memories will never leave you.  When you feel the cool breeze, the heat from the sun, and the gentle fall of the rain, that is your dad letting you know that he is there and that he always will be there.  All of the life advice that he gave to you, all of the stories that he told you, he is still and always will be with you.  It is natural to always miss him, that is natural, but it does get eaiser.  Death and the loss of someone very close to us is something that we all will have to deal with.  It is appointed once to every man to die, that is something that we cannot change, nor can we prepare oursleves for no matter how hard we try.  It does get better, I promise it will.  Hange in there and be strong, you have a lot gong for you.  sherry/smomdukesKiss
