Guest Houndmama Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Kari, I learned in 1983 when I lost my dad after having had a 6 month prognosis during which to prepare . . . you can never prepare for the loss of a parent. I know what you are feeling and I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure that your dad had lots of hounds to greet him at the bridge. I'm grateful that he passed peacefully as he wanted. I'm lighting a candle for you and your family tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey14me Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Kari, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad. Even when this is expected, it's always such a shock...somehow you get used to them being sick and you don't really think past that...or even when you do, it doesn't seem real until it is, you know? Today is my Dad's birthday...I lost him to lung cancer 7 years ago, and it still hurts like crazy...

Guest tygar Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Even when you know it's coming - you can never be ready for such a loss. I'm glad he went peacefully...

jodyksam Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Oh Kari...... You know I'm here for you, and that I understand. What a blessing that he slipped away in his sleep so peacefully. That's so comforting. It's okay to cry and cry a lot, and it's also normal to not feel like it's hit you yet. You impress me, that you could carry out all of the details. I love the pics you posted. Your fur-kids really love him. Prayers for your mom, for you and your family, and for all that you'll be dealing with this week. You're in my thoughts tonight.

Guest Meredith Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It'll sink in when you least expect it, and probably at a very inconvenient time. But that's the way grief is - unpredictable, in its own time.... I'm so sorry for your loss -- the pictures of your dad and your pups tell so much about him. He looks like a very kind man, and I'm sure your pups have good judgement, since they don't seem to share the couch with just anyone! {{{{Kari}}}} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skinnydog Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It hasn't been that long since I lost my dad - September 28, 2005. I wish I had answers for you. Please PM me if you need anything. I'm so sorry. Marti PS - I'm sure our dads are at the bridge talking about their kids and "those damn dogs" - while feeding bridge babies cookies.

Guest Greymom Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad in June of this year after an illness and it still hurts. Everyone tells me that it takes time, but I miss him so much. Remember the good times, and know that he is at peace now.

Madeara Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'm so sorry Kari I know how it feels to lose your Dad. My parents were divorced for many years and deep down they really did want to be together. After my Mom died my Dad died on her birthday 8 months later. They were cremated and I have them both together in my home. Please remember the happier days.

gazehund Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Oh Kari I am so very sorry. Even when you know it is coming the pain of loss is still unbearable. I know, I went through it with my Dad 23 years ago. If there is anything I can do or anything you need, do not hesitate to ask, please. Keeping you in your family in my thoughs and prayers at this very sad time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
