I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, Aegis. I lost a dear uncle a couple of months ago and I thought I would be ok at the funeral - once my dad and my other uncles stood up to say something with tears in their eyes, I broke down. God knows how I'll be able to deal with my own father passing.

Of course, now that we are soon moving back to California, this also means less time spent with my dad who lives on the east coast. This is the part of my move that is tearing me up inside. But we gotta do what we gotta do and life must go on.

Just know that he will always be with you in spirit and watching over you. That's what I believe, and if you believe that, too, it will keep you going.

Look out! Smiley: cry

There is absolutly nothing that will prepare you emotionally for that. Nothing. Only thing I could tell you that when it finally happens, to try and be strong.

I'm sorry, Aegis. Smiley: frown I know exactly how you feel. Lots and lots and lots of time is the only thing that will make it better...

I'm really sorry for your loss, Aegis. I lost my grandpa last year and thinking of all the great times I had with him seemed to help a little.

I always wonder what's going to happen to me when my mom finally goes. Ever since I found her hanging herself I've been waiting for someone to call and tell me she couldn't take her miserable life anymore. With this divorce I've been thinking it every day lately.

Chalk it up to my mistrust of anything carbon-based that I don't really believe you, but I'm sure if it's true, what the hell do you care anyway about me.

Just in case, don't overanalyze--empty is how you're supposed to feel right now. Take heart in the fact that you had the kind of parent that meant that much to you, remember all the things about him that you loved and were proud of any time you need advice, and try to handle things the same way you hope your children do once you're gone. Make him proud.

Dana, sorry to hear this. No matter how long you know before hand, that your parent is dying, you can't prepare yourself for the moment it happens. I still tear up each time I think about finally getting the news of my mom's passing.

Be glad that you had a father you'll miss. When mine died the only thing that came to mind was whether it was worth the airfare to fly to Hawaii to **** on his grave.

Sorry to hear that. Hang in there. The only thing I can say that will help is that time will heal - or at least soften the pain and empty feeling.

In all seriousness Aegis.

I know how you feel. Recently I set the VCR to record a movie and accidentally taped the wrong channel.

If it helps, I am getting over it.

Be strong

I can understand your pain. My mother died last year, this week as a matter of fact. Damn, time flys when you're not paying attention...hell, my oldest daughter just had her 8th birthday yesterday...

Your father notwithstanding, I'd figure any opportunity to get out to Hawaii would be worth it. And peeing in public is always a good time. You just have to think positive!

Your words have inspired me!

I'm booking the next flight to Honolulu, and I'll be grabbing a six-pack on my way out of the airport!

Aegis, having lost both my parents before I was 22 and currently my aunt is dying as I try to get back to Mass. to see her, I understand. But no words on a screen, no words spoken to you, nothing can be said in any form that can change or take away the pain you feel.

You need to do things that help take your mind off how much it hurts. Spend time with friends or family. Do activities that you like. Don't forget about spending time alone so you can deal on your own.

I'm sorry for your loss.

i am sorry for your loss.

dont dwell on the loss though, instead dwell on the time you had together. death comes to us all. loss comes to us all. but the time we get to spend with someone we love is as unique and individual as each and every one of us.

cherish it. dwell on it. it is the greatest treasure you or anyone else will ever recieve in this plane of existance. the greatest gift anyone ever recieves.

you were given a gift for a time. a gift that was never ment to last forever here. but a gift that was ment for you, as you were a gift to him. dwell on the gift and be thankfull it was yours for a time. not the loss that is eneviatable to all of us. God blessed you with him, as God blessed him with you. it is better to know sorrow and in knowing it, know you had loved the gift you were given than having such a precious gift wasted.

he is a part of you and always will be.

I know exactly how you feel, Aegis; two years ago, I was at my grandmother's wake on my birthday. Nothing can dull your pain except for time and booze, and the latter ususally isn't the best way to cope.
