Please Comfort Me, Friends...

I am sure your father is watchin over you, Sorry for your loss. 

Jessica,

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I know you have a *lot* going on right now and it's probably pretty overwhelming. Take care of yourself. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Hi Jessica, I understand how you feel..Just take your time..Give yourself as much time as you need to work through this..

OMG!!!  Jess hang in there, my dad died 29 years ago as of July 17..  I went to a psychic medium tonight with my mom and sis.... my family, and you know what, even after 29 years we all felt the connection and he is still with us REGARDLESS!@!   I  will share my notes from the meeting tonight, but just know he is there!!!!!    I am sorry for your loss, you may  not be able to grasp this now, but in time you will... hang in there darling, and please feel free to private message me for anything!!

Kimmie, that is so cool that you saw a medium tonight!  I would love to hear about your experience!

He was proud of you! I lost my dad four years ago, you'll always miss him but it gets better. If you have something to ask him, by all means ask. I talk to my dad all the time and in many ways he still answers my questions. Your future kids will know him, by the memories you share.

 

There is nothing you could have done to keep him alive. I believe that when a person's time is up they die, and nothing we do is going to make a difference. It's God's decision, not medical science or anybody else's.

Lesli, I so agree with you...    as hard as it is to accept sometimes when one's number is up it is up.....    as hard as it is to grasp, it is the truth for some, not all, but some...

Jess, let us know you are ok, and hanging in there... please.....    we want to help you get through this difficult time....

So sorry Jessica. It isn't easy, you get used to it.

my dad died in 1987, I didn't make it to the hospital in time, he knew I loved him, I knew he loved me, such is life and death. So much death and regeneration going on right now due to a Pluto/Sun opposition and the cycle of life. If there is another dimension all is well, if there isn't, he doesn't know. Like 'going under' for surgery, you wouldn't know if you didn't wake would you?

Be at peace.

Are you still on I am here

i remeber so clearly when my Father died I thought the moon was there for his grasp and all the love in the world couldnt bring him back we were close and yes I know he is in a special place one of my angels now. sometimes I catch a whif of his colone usually when I need it it is the smell of transmision fluid as that was the place he owned and worked untill the last year He brings me comfort and you dad is fine,no pain and the love will span from his heaven to you one  day he will always be in your heart

I  am still here, and cannot begin to explain the connection of my dad.. he died in 1980!!!!!  I was 11 and my only sister was 9!!

wow, kimmie, you were so young!  i guess i should consider myself lucky that i got 29 years with my dad...  i just wish that i knew more answers to my questions...  ya know?

you are not alone we are here

hey y'all...

i am here...  i'm just having a really difficult night...  it's so hard.  this is the first time i've had someone really close to me pass away.  i feel kind of numb.  i just can't believe i can't pick up the phone and call him.  i can't believe it.

sorry to hear about your dad Jessica,  just live, live live, because when our day comes we will know what that feeling is like.  take care

My dad died a few years ago. I lived 1200 miles away from him for the past 30 years and was never really close to him. When I got the news that he had a massive stroke and would not live for many more hours, I got that kind of shocked, numb feeling. I can't remember how many days it lasted, but it was there for a little while. I did fly back for the funeral and athough it was a sad day, it was great to see so many cousins and other relatives I had not seen in many years.

Aww sweetie I am so sorry for your loss =(

If you believe what is said...he only passed from this plane to move on to a higher level.  He'll still be there for you and all you want him there for...and more.  Until you meet again......

I'm sure he's keeping tabs on you.

Your dad will never really be gone as long as you are here to love him and remember him. I hope you got some sleep and are feeling a little better.

grief is hard work and sometimes it takes you down roads that you dont want to go, just know its normal and it will pass,

I beleive there is an afterlife and he is there watching out for you,

the relationship you now have will be different but he is with you in your hear

sending hugs and if you need to talk, im here

I'm so sorry for your loss. 

he looks like a happy man, all that matters now is that you loved him.

I am so sorry for your loss, I will keep you in my thoughts.

take you hand and hold it to  your heart,  and tell dad everything you want him to know,  and when the kids do come  do the same  for he is still here with in your heart,,,

my sister is here with me now and this is how I get thru these rough passes of the days

Jessica I am so sorry that your beloved Father has passed! It happened so fast. Please know that I am thinking of you, crying a bit too as he had the same thing my Mom did.

 

Sending hugs your way.

I'll give you a little piece of advice from someone who has lost a lot of people.

Most of my friends are a lot older than I am, and I seem to lose atleast one a year. It doesn't get easier. My childhood best friend Brenna just keeled over of unknown natural causes, at the age of 22.

My husband is 35 years older than I am.

The best advice i can give is to grab life by the scruff of the neck and LIVE THE HECK OUT OF IT!!! I know you must feel really sad, and that is perfectly OK. When I think of all the stuff that has happened, and how life can change (or be taken) in an instant, I realize that I don't want to miss a bloody minute of it.

so I'm sending plenty of hugs your way. Your friends on Gather are here for you. Try not to worry so much. It'll turn your hair grey. :)

i am so very sorry...i lost mine a little over a year ago, and i also had some of your same questions........the older i get, the more i wonder just what IS the point?

I'm so sorry to hear this Jessica. I can only imagine what you are going through. From his picture, he sure was a handsome man.

I haven't lost my mom and dad, they are still around, and I think when I am spending time with either, it may be my last....I lost a husband and an ex-husband in the past year...that was so hard on me...I wondered if I would ever come out of the down in the dumps sad state I was in....I have gotten better, and I still talk to my husband and ex, so maybe that is what eases the pain...my heart is with you...

i sm so sorry

i am so sorry

My mom went to a group thing where a woman said she communicated (not exactly by speaking, but somehow) with the deceased. Since it was a group thing there was only a small chance that she would be choosen but the lady asked if anyone claimed a "Robert". My mom didn't say anything because she was thinking how common the name was. Then the woman asked if anyone in my mom's general direction claimed a Robert. She still didn't think it was directed at her. Finally the woman said, "You" and pointed to my mom. She said that a Robert was standing behind her holding out a rose to her.
At this point I asked her if she had to give any information or anything to register but she said it was an open group- you didn't even have to write your name down anywhere. I was still thinking Robert and roses are pretty common.
My mom told the woman that Robert was her dad and that he had died from a heart attack years ago. His favorite flower: roses.
The lady continued by telling my mom that everything was alright and he was happily playing checkers (one of his favorite past times, one that he and I played every Friday night while I was growing up) with a friend.

I can't remember anything else that happened but when I heard this I just couldn't doubt that it was real. I still have questions about what happens after death and all of that. I could never imagine being 100% certain of what happens after I die but this event gave me a better feeling.
I hope that heaven exists and that he is watching you. Then he WILL see your kids, his grandkids. He will see you get married and I bet he will be proud of every second.

I am so sorry to hear the sad news. I wish you the strength you need to get you through this time.

I am sorry for the loss. I recently had a loss also. it is hard. but you will get through it. God bless

At my age, both of my parents are gone, but as long as I remember them, they aren't really gone -- they are just in the other room or on a trip. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of them, and I wouldn't want it any other way. All kinds of things remind me of them. I recently scanned the old family album, and it was a real pleasure to scan in their picture. I was able to watch them mature again over time.

Bless your heart, Jessica. I'm sorry. My dad passed away a few years ago, but he did live long enough to see my son grow up. Death is never easy and we all need to grieve. It's a natural process.

I'm glad you're back now at Gather. We do care.
