Attempting to find peace and healing

Do you have access to a bereavement group or counselor? I lost my mother last fall and the hospice provided both. It's hard. How old was your father?

I do but it’s slow it’s someone I’ve known for 13 years. Also he was 58

So sorry he was so young. And you too. How long was he sick?

Almost 5 years with a very aggressive form of multiple myeloma

Wow I am so sorry.

Learn to live with it. My husband has been dead for four years and I still cry some days. Try talking about him and write about him. What did you really like about him? Have you got stories you can write about him.?

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father when he was 56. I will never stop missing him and it has been 33 years. I think what I would say to you, by way of encouragement, is that with time you will adjust. From what I have seen, some people take things like this harder than other do but they all do seem to gradually get used to the situation. There was a time that I felt I could never be happy again. That was not true though. I hope you can be gentle with yourself and have patience knowing that, in time, you will have the peace and healing that you are looking for.

I am so sorry for your loss. My dad died in his sleep with a massive heart attack at 56 years of age. I found him. I was heart broken as was my mom. This has been years ago and I still miss him dearly. I know he is with the Lord and not suffering and as a Christian I know I will see him again. That is my comfort and hope. Over the years, I am still remembering many things he said to me that I had forgotten. The hymn "Precious Memories flood my soul" is so true. My dad was a very wise man and a hard working man. There is a Grief Share at our church that has helped a lot of people to work through grief. Is there one in your area? A friend of mine that just lost her daughter to cancer said, "I am not moving forward", I am "carrying on" one day at a time. I like that and it's true. Grief is a process. Praying for you right now.

I’m so sorry. They say time heals all wounds….I believe God heals ALL wounds when we turn to Jesus. Please be gentle to yourself. Be with friends and talk about your Dad. Think of all the wonderful memories. God bless you today & always. 🌸💖✝️🙏🏼

Hi,

Not easy but God will give you the strength to take it one day at a time. Please remember that what you do today is the best that you can do and that is okay. It takes time please give yourself time to accept it and try to go on. I lost my father when I was 13 years old. He passed away very suddenly. It is 45 years ago and I still talk about him but God'S timing is perfect.
