Sean,

Sean, I am so sorry about the loss of your father.

Once the reality sets in, don't feel obligated to "find closure" too quickly.

"Blessed are those who mourn." "Blessed are those who weep now for you will laugh."

These quotes are not given to lighten the hurt or deminish your feelings. The tunnel you have entered does not have a light at the other end - the memory of your father is with you forever. Mourning is not blessed because it's good. Rather, when we carry these wounds to God, there is comfort available that runs deeper, richer, and far more lasting than anything we can find by trying to bandage the pain.

You know you have the support of your family. You know you have the support of your friends here. Realize that you have the support of God. There is nothing that will cure your earthly hurt, but opening yourself to your heavenly Father when you are in great need can provide amazing fullness in your heart - leaving the memory of your father a highlight in your life, rather than a pain of omission.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Sean. My dad passed away 2 years ago. A couple of months before he died, he asked me what, if any, changes would I like to make to my 914. I told him I wanted to replace the steel wheels with Fuchs. He said to go ahead and get the wheels and he'd pay for them. He said, you'll inherit what I have after I'm gone but I want to see you enjoy some of that before I go. I can't look at my car with out thinking of him.
Our prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear about your father Sean. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I lost my stepfather very suddenly at age 46 about 2 years ago. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. I know your pain. Just remember that he will always be with you in sprit no matter where you are.

Nothing but good thoughts to you and yours. My dad has become more of a freind over the past few years - I cant imagine losing him. It hurts to think about. He just turned 62.

I hope you are overwelmed by noithing but good memories and time spent with family.

Always the best -
S

Sean - so very sorry to hear of your loss. I know how I felt when I lost my Dad and you were a lot closer to your dade than I was to mine. My prayers are with you.

Sean,

I too, just read this thread. My condolences to you and your family.

My mother passed away on Feb 2nd this year. For me, being there at the end was peaceful. But I still miss her and think of her often. Laughing at the times I was rightfully scolded as well as smiling at the times she praised me or supported me in life's endevours.

I hope our responses provide you the strength to get through this. You aren't alone and many of us care about you and each other. Keep your chin up. Regardless, life marches on we do get by.

Peace,
