Father died a few hours ago.
Veteran of Saipan.
It has not quite hit me yet. I was care giver 24/7 for both my parents for seven years. My mother went two years ago.
Just drinking.
Lost my mom, after care giving for 18 months, the night before last Thanksgiving. I know what you’re going thru. My prayers are with you.
Hang in there buddy. You’ll make it. In time this sad feeling will fade, and the good memories will grow stronger.
Condolences, love, respect (for being a caregiver), and a prayer for you, your parents and remaining family and friends.
Prayers up.
It doesn’t all hit at once.
Prayers for you.
Your purpose will change to other things. You will still have plenty of purpose.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My most sincere condolences for you and your family.
So sorry.
Your parents were very lucky to have you.
“God bless us, every one.”
Sorry to hear that! I know how that is, as I was taking care of my dad, too ... and when he had to go into the hospital for something that should have been fairly routine and should have turned out okay ... I got the call that he had died.
I pray that you receive God’s comfort at this particular time!

Praying for you. My father died in June last year. My heart still hurts, and now it hurts for you, too.
Prayers up for your family and you...
My sincere condolences for your loss. You must have had a tough few years. We must be about the same age and I cannot imagine going through that myself. You have my respect and my sympathy.
Sincere condolences..may the love of your family, friends keep you strong during this tough time.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I pray God give you strength and comfort during this very painful and difficult time in your life. It is true that time does heal. I know I lost my mom 17 years ago and Dad was 10 years ago. I miss them very much but it is the memories - good memories and some funny ones that keeps them alive not just in my Heart but in Spirit. I know the first week is like a dream, wondering if you will ever wake up. Just feel so surreal, but rest assure your father is with you. God Bless
I’m so sorry. Both my parents are in heaven now. They were members of the Greatest Generation. Hard working, loved their country and willing to make sacrifices for it. What depresses me now is, not so much that they are gone, but that when I look around at the slack jawed losers of this generation, I don’t see this country having another generation quite like my parents’ generation ever again.
Anyway, my prayers go up to our most benevolent Lord that He will give you and your family comfort and strength.
good thoughts for you and your family...God bless....
So sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for you.
one is Never too old to loose their parents...
Sorry for your loss. Prayers going up.
