I just lost my father

PsychoSJG

Especially with older BOTL here, I'm sure some of you have been where I am now. I dont really know what I'm doing, but I'm doing everything I can. My father passed away this morning. He wasnt ill, didnt have medical issues, and was only 56. We dont yet know why, but he didnt wake up this morning. Ive been handling everything so far. From calling the fam, to going and telling his still living mother, dealling with the coroner and medical examiner, even having to help carry his body from his room. I've barely even had any time to myself to deal with this. I now have to care for my mother who has a lot of medical issues and soon will be without insurance. I dont even know why I'm telling you all this. I guess I just need to get it out. I'm 26 years old, and I just went from being the youngest son to the leader of the family. I'm not ready for this.

Very sorry to hear this. I lost my Dad when he was just 63, but we knew why, and that it was coming. It must be a terrible shock when it happens like this. There are no adequate words, all you can do is remember the best about him, and pass that on to your own kids.

Really sorry to hear of your loss, my friend. Seems to me to be somehow more difficult to deal with when it's sudden and unexpected like this. Try to be strong and know that you and your family are in my prayers.

You might not be ready for it emotionally, but mentally you are. From what you have already said you are dealing with it and taking care of people you know need it. Emotionally it will be hard and gets better every day, but really sucks at the moment. Right now the little things that you do for everyone will carry them, and you, along and give you strength. Keep a focused mind and be there for your family. After that the rest will come in time.

The day arrives for us all. We all wake one morning to find ourselves orphans. I know your pain. Peace brother. And keep your friends close.

I am gravely sorry for your unexpected loss, I have been also dealing with pending loss of my father, He has chosen to discontinue chemo, and had most of the family in the past weekend to see him, the family is upset, and I kinda of told them we can't be selfish and think of him, the only thing we can do is help him be comfortable. We know it's coming but it does not make it easy. So my thoughts are with you and your family at this time. Mike

I hope everything works ok with your mother as well and you can be strong for the people that need you the most. I can't say I know your pain, but I really hope you are ok man and hope for the best! You and your family will be in my prayers!

Sorry to hear about your loss...This thread actually provided me with an opportunity to reflect on my own father's passing 2 years ago...You will get through this...Stay strong, but don't neglect what you need to do for yourself while helping others during this transition...
