Starman I know how you feel I lost my dad suddenly Jan 14 08 he was my best friend it's still tough some days dealing with it. He would call me first thing every morning to see how my day was going, I still catch myself looking for his call.
Found out a month after his passing he would have been a great grandfather which he would have been soo proud of the way he loved his grand kids and could never brag enough about them.
But the best way I deal with it is to know that he is happy and still playing golf and throwing his horseshoes in paradise. I look up to the stars every night and tell him I love him and miss him, I know he's always with me, it never gets easier but it does, writing this brings tears to my eyes thinking about it.
Just know Starman and everyone else that has gone through losing there parents and best friends that were all together and there all looking down on us knowing that they did a great job raising us and were gonna be ok, we'll always have them in our hearts.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I don't know your grief, but I know what it is like to lose a father and a mother. My Mom died 10/7/89 and my dad 7/11/08. As you stated it's not getting any easier, and I feel the same about my Dad. I believe he was murdered, and the deputy coroner along with his wife had him cremated before we could even pay our respects, less than 8 hours after he was gone. I am thankful that I had great parents, and I'm sure you are as well. I know the pain will be healed, but it will just take a lot of time. God be with you.

I still cry over the loss of my grandfather, and that was almost 19 years ago.

All I can offer are (((HUGS)))...

Sorry about your loss.
May you find comfort.

Due to the Depression he was on his own by the time he was 12, with a younger brother and cousin to childhood he took on any extra work he could find and I was fortunate enough to be included in a lot of that work from about 8 years of age on until I left home. From him I learned the patience, tolerance and other skills needed to load and haul cargo safely no matter the difficulties of the particular job. One of my most treasured possessions is a faded photograph of my parents standing alongside that first truck as he kept it until he sold it to pay for my birth, something I only learned of after he passed away.

Sorry for your loss.

I lost both my parents in 3 months time this year. Mom went first and I think Dad followed due to his broken heart. Mother's day and Father's Day were tough and I'm still not over it. My wife kind of understands, but I get better support from the folks at Church.

I hope you heal quickly, we always will miss them, but the good times and what they taught us will last a lifetime.

God Bless!

my grandfather died while i was putting a new cd player in his rig. i was outside and he asked me to come in and drink some coffee with him, well about 5 minutes later i walked in and found him, he had died about 5 minutes after i spoke to him. talk about feeling helpless..i was 16 yrs old. i tried to call 911 but the only phone we had was a cordless and its battery was dead. that was jan 1999. then my grandma died march 2 2001 4 months b4 my son was to be born. man she sure was happy when i told her she was gonna be a great grandma! only she didnt get to live to see it. we was their with her in icu when she died. we all got to say goodbye anyways this time. we asked her if she was ready to go home, and she nodded her head yes. we said back to your house? she said noo. im goin to be with dewitt(my grandpa), and jesus, yall dont cry for me im goin home, i should be the one crying for yall here on earth. Man that got to me, i broke down rite then and there! it still gets to me sometimes, but i get most of my strength i think from them. they overcome and dealt with so many things that i dont think there was noway i could have. they are all in a better place now, no more tears, pain ect..there all with jesus! what more could one ask for??? i say not a thing.

First i would like to say im sorry for your loss.I know it can be hard and some days can be worse then others,I lost my parents when i was 9 and it was very hard with them not being around and missing out on the things that went on in my life,in 2001 I lost my husband(I always thought with him being a OTR truck driver,god forbid he would go in a truck wreck,well that wasnt the case,he passed away from a bacterial infection at the age of 35,boy did that hit us all hard,there are days we just miss him so much it aches.Well my point im trying to make is maybe a grief class at a church or speaking with a councelor from church to help you through it,when i lost my husband I went to grief classes every week for 6 months and had a councelor come to the house once a week...Another thing I also did(and please dont laugh or think im nuts but believe me it sure helped me through it).I would go to my husbands grave-sometimes i would read,joke,laugh or even cry but i would sit there and just talk to him,some days i cursed him out for leaving me behind to raise the girls but on those days before i left i would always tell him how much i loved him and miss him,just trying to give you some ideas to help you through this,let me know how you are doing ok?
