I am a loss for the words to convey to you that I feel for your loss. I would like to pass along to you a portion of something I read, many years ago, that has brought me much comfort. I think of my parents often, but it was the loss of my father that affected me the most, In time, your heart will heal, but in the meantime, rejoice in his memories and know that he is always watching over you. "Than Almitra spoke, saying, "We would ask now of Death." And he said: You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond; And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour. For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink form the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance." Kalil Gibran "The Prophet"

Tracy I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I lost my mother Feb 10, 2002 and I was only 28. Instead of grieving I kept it all in. Then months later I had a meltdown. It's good to grieve. Grieving is healthy. The hurt doesn't go away but it becomes bearable. Still today if I think too much about her I can cry myself to sleep. I pray about it. I try to remember the pain and suffering she endured the last few days and know that she's much better off watching me from heaven regardless of how hard that is on me. I find joy in knowing that I will see her again someday. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Hi Tracy, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It is very hard to lose your dad, especially if you are a daddy's girl. I lost my daddy in 1995 and I still cry buckets to this day. The pain will lessen a bit, but you never really truly forget the first man in your life. Especially a positive man who has always been in your corner no matter what. I always said I would lay down and die when my dad died, that's just how much I loved him. But, it didn't turn out that way. My dad would want me to move on and accomplish all the things in life I set out to do. A lot of my motivation for the things I do comes from thoughts of my dad. He always told me I can do anything and be anything I wanted to be. And I believe him. So, right now, I know the pain you hold. It feels like a hole in your chest and an overwhelming empty feeling. You will walk around in a daze, just going on auto-pilot, but your mind won't really be there. It's going to be ok though because time heals all wounds. And dad will forever be in your heart. God bless you and keep you during this trying time in your life.

Tracy, I am so sorry for your loss Hun. I lost my dad, whom I was very close to 3-1/2 years ago on Easter Morning. I still miss him every day, but I also know that I can talk to him every day and know he is still looking out for his little girl. (((((BIG HUG)))))

Tracy ~ {{{BIG HUGS}}} This is still so fresh... how can you expect to come through it so quickly? You will never "get over it"... sometimes all we can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and then one day you will realize that you have been running for a while. If you continue to grieve without any signs that you are starting to feel better you may want to consider conselling. Grief must be dealt with and now that you don't have food anymore you have to learn a new way to cope. Don't be afraid to ask for help. You may need meds for a while. This is okay and doesn't make you a weak person. I have actually met very FEW weak people in my life... (won't count the ex! HA!) Take care of yourself and keep posting. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Tracy, I was reading your post tonight on the message board and my heart hurt for you at that moment. I know all to well what it is like to lose a parent. If you will read my profile there is a section that explains in great detail what I went through with the passing of my mom. Let me tell you this there are no words that will make you feel better, there are no words that will take away the pain. I know because 20 years ago I lost my dad and exactly 17 years later I lost my mom. I will tell you this though, I will keep you in my prayers. I will ask God to give you peace and the ability to remember the good times. I realize at this moment you will not want to do this, but this is the best way to keep his spirit alive. Just remember one day at a time and things will get better. One day you will wake up and the pain will be lessened and you will wonder how you made it through. Keep the faith and God will lead you through. Peace and Blessings.
