Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
Oh Nora how heart-wrenching! I'm so, so sorry. It was obviously unexpected, so comes as a shock - but I'm so glad he felt no pain and went peacefully. It's nice to think of your dad & mom together again - very bittersweet though. I still have both of my parents and have not had to face this hurdle in life yet, and for that I feel very fortunate. My parents both handled the passing of their parents so well - I think I'd be a wreck at first. I hope you're holding up well, but having "good" cries, too, and taking comfort in the rest of your family. This'll sound kind of strange, but I think it's really wonderful that you miss him so much already. I'm sorry for the pain that comes with that. But he sounds like he was a really wonderful man, and I'm so glad you had him as your dad.

Oh Nora...I am so sorry to hear about your dad, you are in my thoughts and prayers. My father died a little over 3 years ago, and he is in heaven now with mom, so I know how you feel. It is hard, and you will always miss him, but it does get easier with time. *HUGS*

Nora,

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost my father almost 4 years ago, even knowing it was a possiblity (he was very ill), it was hard.

wishing you the support and love of your family during this time,

Nora, so sorry to hear about your dad
. I also lost mine some years ago, and miss him still to this day.
Rest assured, he'll be watching over you

Nora, I'm awfully sorry this has happened. I too lost my father in such a way - to a huge heart attack; my Mother found him one morning and mercifully he was peaceful - as his face was completely serene.

May you have the strength to get through the next few months as they will inevitably be the worst.

Please lean on us as much as you need to at this very difficult time.

I feel so comforted by reading all your posts. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. My sister, Kathleen and I appreciate it so much. I keep forgetting that he is gone and I make plans with him in mind and then I remember.
