Consider yourself fortunate. Very fortunate. My Dad died just before I turned 5 years old. Pancreatic cancer at age 49. I never even got to really talk to him. I'm almost 70, and I still wonder what if he had lived a normal life.
Man this is something my mom dealt with. Her dad died when she was young and really had maybe 2 memories of him.
She always said that having a good man die young is worse than having a bad man die old.

My father was my hero, and an absolutely wonderful man. I wish I could say the pain has faded for me after 4+ years, but it hasn't. It's just more infrequent. If I look at one of his photos alone there's nearly 100% chance of tears. I'm someone who prays daily, but I struggle with faith. I hope with all of my heart he'll be there to come get me when my time comes.
Sorry about your loss, OP. I hope things will get easier for you in time. I do think he would want you to keep living and enjoying your life.

My mom was my best friend and probably the only person I could talk to (without paying) that wouldn't judge me. I am that person to my friends and they know that.
Psycho talk. They base the movie “Psycho” on your life?
You should never give advice.

I mean she is burned up....I can show you if you want.
I'm not sure you understand what you are saying. I don't think my mom is still alive nor do I want to kill to keep her memory going......
....or whatever you think is going on.....
....frick you are retarded.

Pray, pray pray. When you think of your dad pray, and pray again. You will find peace.

Mine died April 1, 2 year battle with cancer. We were close. I saw him dwindling about a week before he passed. I said my goodbyes while he was awake and alert. He died. I didn’t do the funeral thing, because I said my goodbyes. Went see his grave a few weeks ago. I’ve had a couple episodes, maybe 3 or 4 but other than that I’ve moved on. Idk if it’s because of my profession (35 year paramedic) or because I just really said my goodbyes, still trying figure that out. I hope you can’t get over it somewhat like I did. Best of luck and many prayers for ya

I always try to be thankful for all the useful stuff my mom taught me and it somehow makes me feel better. It's like she is living thru me. Peace be with you.

You are wack and need help. You shouldn’t give help.

I’d like to say it gets easier but the loss is always there. My dad passed April 19, 2011 and I miss talking to him every time I pick up a tool or when I cook certain things. Keep doing things you enjoyed doing with him and one day they will bring smiles instead of tears.

Sorry for your loss.
It’s been 6 years since my husband died, and I still think of him daily, a lot. I still cry sometimes. The pain dulls, and only time does that… but I don’t think it ever goes away. Though I can think of him now and smile, too…For a long time it was pure aching grief.
Losing the ones we love is the hardest thing we ever do in this life. I am glad you had a dad you loved that much, even though it is causing you great pain now. We all have our personal timeline for wading through the worst of it, but it will slowly become more happy memories than anguish.

That might be true but I at least offered help to the OP.
I would gladly give up being 'psycho' in order to help someone.
I still stand by, if the OP needs to talk I am here for them.
By all means if the OP needs to talk I am there for them.

Mom died in February of this year, my Aunt 3 weeks later, then my boss, all within 1.5 months. My dad reaches out to me more often (a daily text), which I appreciate. My husband and I will spend Thanksgiving with him.
I am my father's executrix, but I think about the logistics. Who do I call on the day he doesn't text me and I learn he has died alone? The police, the funeral home?
I went through some major professional changes during this year, so I am not sure I have really processed all of the loss. But sometimes it's like a punch to the gut.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy

Losing someone that you really love is a hard thing. Be glad, It is better than losing someone that you should feel really sad over and you feel absolutely nothing. Your pain just mean that you had a great relationship with your dad. Go be that to other people.
