Ah, there is not a whole lot of anything anyone can tell you to make you feel better.

In time you will know what to do.

I had a father like figure die when I was 14. I got angry did a lot of stupid stuff and said some really mean things and that wasn't honoring him.

The only advice I can give you is to honor the guy as much as you can. Take everything that you learned from him and apply it in your life, he will never truly be "gone" if you keep him a part of what you do.

Don't be afraid to let it all out either, give yourself alone time but be there for everyone else that will no doubt be suffering.



They say those that pass walk toward the light while those are left behind have to find their way through the dark. Good luck !

 

dman10, My Friend.

I will do my very best to comfort you in this time of grief.

I never knew my Dad, and he never spent anytime with me.

Please be grateful, that you had a Great Dad that taught you things
that no one else can.

Try and Focus on the good memories and know that he is in perfect Peace and totally Happy.

Live a good life. Be a good person. Carry on his awesomeness.

Make Him proud of you by helping others when they need it.

I mean this is the best possible way.

My Prayers go out to you right now, that you find Peace..

Sincerely,
Hawken...

 

Wow.... First all I can say is, I am so sorry and you will be in my prayers. Sadly death is a very real part of life, and I've had to deal with it more times than I would like.

To start off with, cry.... Don't listen to the stereotype's that men don't cry. This is one of the most important parts of grief.

Secondly right now is a time to just be with family. An Airsoft forum isnt the best place to go for answers but do know were all here for you. But really talk to your family.

Thirdly, while it is horrible he is gone, as you go through the grieving process remember the good times you had together. While he may be gone, the good memories you have with him will stay with you forever.

Again man I'm so sorry, I'm going to pm you with some more stuff. Again your in my thoughts and prayers.

 

I'm glad I have my fourm brothers, and my other "fatherly figures" to help me. While at the hospital one let me sit in his patrol car and let it out, and will now allow me to go on the deer lease under him so I don't have to pay and I can keep hunting.
Another offered to help me with the cattle, and anything else.

That's it man, focus on the positives. Don't think of all the things you didn't do, think of all of the things you did do together.
All I can say is that I'm really sorry. You'll be in my prayers tonight.

 

My father passed away a few years ago. Its hard, but it does get easier with time. I think about him everyday. Just remember the good times and he will always be with you in your memories. My prayers go out to you and your family.

 

One of my best friends dads died of a heart attack when he was just 10. He choose not to let that define who he was, and honor his dad by living a great life. He's now one of the smartest kids I know, and is going on a free ride to a great university. Don't think your life is over.

 

Dman. Just don't do anythign stupid. I almost ruined my life when I was in a similar situation. And not only mine, but the lives of closest ones. Look into the future, not into the past.

Accept my condolences.

 

Yo man, I don't know you but that's rough. Sometimes we don't know why things happen, and we aren't ever meant to find them out. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders, and you had a great dad that taught you many things. Do your best to always honor him for what he did for you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

We heard from the examiner today.
His heart was completely toast, even if we found it weeks in advance, he wouldn't have survived his heart was so bad, both valves we bad, and all the artery's were clogged. Even if he was laying on a gurney in the E.R when it happened he wouldn't have survived. He went to work Monday morning where he lined up everything that needed to be done in the next two weeks. They asked him if he was going on vacation for awhile where he said "yeah, I think I'm going to take some time off" then he sat down and that was it. He was responsible to his job and his men till the very end. When his boss brought by his work truck yesterday, (which I sat down in and cried.) he also brought a giant poster board with some of dads belongings zip-tied to it and in the middle it said "Bruce, we will miss you" and it had 20+ signatures and other writings from his workers, along with a collection from the workers, and one from Harvey Clearery ??Spelling?? which was 600+ alone. This Saturday I know my Boy Scout troop will be there, my whole church, and his workers and then some, and family of course, along with the misc. towns folk, neighbors and Friends. Apparently he's touched more people than I ever thought.

 

I am very sorry for your loss. As stated before, reflect upon the good times you had with him. Honor your father and be the best man you can be. It'll be a tough ride to recovery from this, but you'll make it. It will get better. I wish you the best of luck.

 

I am so sorry..... You and everyone who knew & loved him will be in my thoughts & prayers.
