I'm glad you decided to finally leave a message on "one of these places." I don't think that anyone is going to hold anything you say against you, at least not while you are in the shape you are in, and being honest about it.
All the other guys and gals are right. It's tough losing a loved one. I've lost two so far this year, a good friend and an uncle who died Friday night. But every single member here wants the best for you and your family, and if you choose to keep coming back, I'm sure you'll find some good friends who will be able to help you through your pain. They say that words are cheap, but they're also some of the most valuable things in the world when the right words are spoken at the right time. Good luck to you, Steash, and I hope we all see you back again later!

thankyou all for your kind posts. last week ,fathers day, was my first without my dad. June the 17th and 18th have always been a major event in my little life due to fathers day then 3 birthdays, (mum,wife and sister in law) the following day. it has always cost me a fortune in cards but not buying that one felt like a huge gap. as you may have noticed i went ever so slightly down hill. cant help but apologise once again for the drunk muppet comment.

i know its part of the grieving thing but the part i find hardest is the way it just hits you like a ton of bricks just when you think or feel you are coping with it, a song on the radio, something on t.v or in my case my youngest asking something in all innocence then is BANG and your straight back to where started.

i must admit between losing my dad in january and a good friend 2 weeks ago, i really am hating 2007 so far, but on a more positive note its all about to change as my sister is due an ikle one any day now ... and my wife and i just found out that we'll be joining her later this year!

life is so very strange at times.....

thankyou all once again.

Congratulations Steash!!! That's great news.

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. My family lost a very good friend just about a month or so ago. Very unexpected. The wife and teenage daughter he left behind are having a rough go of it. It's tough, there's just no 2 ways about it.

Hugs and I'm glad you're still here with us!!!! :hug:

WOW Steash... How to respond??? I read so much anguish in your posts. I DO know what you are feeling.... I have tears just typing this... I lost my dear, sweet Mother June 16, and I am still in shock from it...

All I can say, is .... I hope time heals you and me both....

take care and I am glad you found us......

Hi Steash

My father died 11 years ago on Fathers day [uk] and i totaly understand your dilemma. for years i did'nt want to celebrate fathers day even though i'm a dad.
All i can say is as time goes by it gets somewhat easier, not easy just less painful.

Awww Steash, I feel awful for you:( I can only hope the support you receive from God and here at NT will help you through this.

At least you have wonderful memories of your Dad that will stay with you always. There are those of us who don't, and it's ironic that (it seems to me), the meaner nastier ones live forever.

I believe that your Dad will still be with you. Try and notice the weird little things that will happen. Electrical things might happen, like phones ringing but no one there, lights turning on/off for no reason, even the doorbell.... odd smells (like an aftershave he used to wear, or a smell like grass that connects to a good old memory such as mowing the lawn with him )... coins appearing with no logical reason (most often it's pennies, but my G'pa leaves me dimes as we used to collect mercury ones).

All that may seem silly to some... it did to me for many years. But as happens to us all, events occurred that shocked me into believing. :yikes:
