My dad passed on.

My condolences.

I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences for you and your family.

condolences. feeling numb kind of, is still dealing with it I am guessing. Hope it will not brake you

I'm sorry for your loss. My dad is my best friend so I can't imagine what you are going through. Everyone dies at some point but he would still want you to live your life to the fullest and not give up. Never be afraid to reach out for support. Even from strangers. You're not a monster, just someone who needs to vent it out.

If you ever need someone to talk to you my steam is always open. I can't relate to what you're going through, but sometimes it's nice to just keep talking until you feel a little bit better

If you need to talk don't doubt on adding me

My condolences dear

Well I was in the same boat 20 years ago, Im not going to say it gets better because it doesn't. You will learn to cope and replace the empty sadness with good memories. Always asak yourself "What would dad think" as you move on, Im sure he wouldn't like you quitting collage or anything else. He's still there for you ya know, inside you. In your heart and mind, make him proud by moving on to lead a good life like he always wished for you.

Big brotherly hug

I'm Sorry for you lost bro. What's funny is this summer I began working with my dad after losing my dad. My dad is a skilled trades/contractor. He does renovations and kitchens. So a lot of times on site people always ask me what will I do when he retires. Damn, I wouldn't even know where to begin really. So this kind of hits home with me. My dad is in his mid 60's and I'm praying that he has a long life ahead still. I'm truly sorry for the emptiness that will soon envelop your life. My only suggestion is to surround yourself with the people that mean most to you and cherish the good memories of your father. They are never truly gone as they will always live on in us.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Give yourself time to grieve, to feel nothing, to feel overwhelmed, whatever comes, just accept it and be open to it.
Even if things had been different, you would've doubted yourself anyway. He probably had his own doubts too. Everyone does.
We always think we could've done better, but memories are only fragments of the past seen through our own perspective. Don't believe those thoughts, they're not objective.
It's okay to feel lost, don't push yourself. You'll see things more clearly after some time, even if it doesn't seem like it right now.
As you can see, there's a lot of us here to talk to if you need it, you're not alone. Take care.

First, you'll have to crest the wave of shock,
Then, you'll surf in front of it, shooting through the tube of despair and loss, feeling its power, knowing that it can crash down on you...

...but if you hang in there and don't let it overwhelm you, you'll eventually come cruising up to the shore, the monster waves merely breakers in the distance behind you, and you'll step onto dry land...right where I'm sure that your Dad wants you to be.

You'll always be able to look out at those waves and remember the ride, and it will give you perspective. Let the value of what you learn and feel during this process help you to live your life with passion and focus.

But before you can do that, you have to find that wave and be ready to face it...

🌊💙

You are probably not wanting to hear any more condolences by now, and I don't blame you. I lost my dad, and more recently, my brother (both having passed away at a very young age), so I understand the shock, the numbness and confusion you must be feeling right now. With that, I am sincerely sorry for your loss. It sucks for those of us left behind.

If it helps any. do not dwell on the bad memories that you have of him. Rather, don't think of any memories of him at all for the time being. Pretty soon good ones will be coming to you that you may have forgotten. Perhaps he didn't show it because of his age and cultural generation, but I strongly get the sense your father was is extremely proud of you. Also, it is okay to take a break for awhile... especially while you are grieving. Only don't give up on school completely just yet. We may not know what the future holds, but it is possible something could happen that would allow you to finish.

Hang in there. You are not alone.

I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences.

My condolences to you and your family.

My condolences sir. I really empathize esp. since my grandparents and parents have all passed away. Take your time and be gentle with yourself. Take care

My sincere condolences

My sincere condolences to you and your family through this extremely difficult time. I think you need to speak to someone about your loss. I don't know if you have access to counsellors at school/college or via your doctors but speaking to them I suspect will help. Venting is one way of expressing your emotions and thoughts and maybe professional help may help you through this most traumatic of times. Everything you've said is not that uncommon when dealing with the issues of someone you've lost close to you and you will need to take your own time to process all of this and help you deal with it. All the best to you and I hope you don't beat yourself too much over it.

Sorry for your loss, it's really hard. But my advice is you must continue your life, i know it's not easy but work for it. Life is about Death, we don't like it but we all knew it's coming to us all. Try to make your Dad proud more by doing what you love. Best of luck.

Regardless of what you are feeling or not feeling now, try to be ready for a long way. It will take time, and you will go through different stages. What matters is that at the end you will be fine. And if some day instead you will think that this thing is not over and it will never be over, well, that's also possible. But you will learn to live with that and you'll be fine anyway.

My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Many wise words are told in the thread already, I won't repeat any of them, but believe me, I know what you are going through.
Keep your father's memories and cherish them, keep them alive and he will be with you on your way.

I'm with you, really. I know what that means, having seen most of my family die - and having been accustomed to death when I was still a child.
You don't really have to feel bad.
Take your time. Don't make rushed decisions, don't leave college, don't run away. For now.
Just take the time your body and your mind need.
We're all different.
You did a great thing by writing your thoughts here, really. You must not keep everything inside yourself. Grief and pain are hard to handle. I started when I was a teenager and I kept so many things inside myself.
Now everything's way better.
Keep in mind everything positive you two did together and keep a positive impression of him, or at least nothing negative. Don't let this sad event compromise your future.
You won't be alone, you will succeed and you will become an adult, with everything at its place in its right time.
You're stronger now, but you're of course frightened. Everything will eventually pass, don't let yourself give in to fear and pain.
Stay strong.

I extend my deepest sympathy on the loss of your precious dad.

I'm very sorry to hear this. My father died a year ago, but I'm older and I was on good terms with him, and I was sad (still am) but got on with my life. It's harder to just walk away when you have a family.

You're young, and I guess your father was young. I don't know how he died, and I'm not sure if you're suggesting that he died alone, or that you're alone and fear you'd die this way.

I hope you'd get to terms with this, and be able to resume your life. It helps to have people around to help you deal with this, and if you're alone I'm sorry for you, and happy that you at least have an online community to share with.
