On the Anniversary of My Father’s Death

In loving Memory - May 22nd, 1914- April 23rd, 1988
Yesterday was the anniversary of my father’s death. My dad passed away 19 years ago. I don’t think we ever get over the loss of a loved one. I think as the years pass by the pain lessens, and the grief becomes easier to manage. I had a good long cry today and it helped. I feel a sadness that my husband and children never met him, yet I know a part of him lives on in me.

My father passed away February 1, and the hole in my soul is not healed yet. He was 82 and lived as he wanted. Thanks for your writing it helps.

Hello, I came across your blog while searching the net,for some info. The words you’ve written re: your Father really moved me & echo my own thoughts/feelings.
It won’t be long before it’s the anniversary of my own fathers birthday. It’s 28th May & a day of reflection for us as well as the day he died . We lost him in Feb 92,before my only daughter & his grand daughter was born (May 18th). He had also just begun to form a much closer bond with my youngest son,who was then almost 3 yrs.
He was a good man,very brave,wonderful sense of humour. I will continue to shed a tear always,along with a smile for his memory especially on those important days. And to help my youngest children & grandchild to ‘know’ all about him.

I know the pain you are going through and your father lives in inside you and is watching over you with a smile. ((HUGS))

My dad did live to see our son and got to spend time with him throughout his childhood. He’s not here to see his future grandchildren, though. Whoa, I hadn’t cried over it in years. Guess you are just a catalyst today, Rose. That is really a good thing. Sorry your dad is not still here for you. Hugs.
