Hey all,
well, i got some really bad news today and i thought that i would share it with you all since you guys seem to be there for one another.
This morning i got a phone call from my brother saying that my father had passed away either last night or this morning. They found him in his home on the couch. appearantly , a blood vessel in his throat had ruptured and he pretty much drowned in his blood. sorry if that is too graphic for you guys.
Any ways, i'm 23 years old, and lost my mother at the age of 15 from a heart attack, so now i'm parentless... do any of you guys have a similar situation? if so, how did you get through it. i'm still kind of a young guy and this just sucks! also, i'm quiet today for obvious reasons, and i'm in a long distance relationship, and my girlfriend started and argument because i didn't really feel like talking... that just adds to all this!!!! anyways, thanks for reading about my rants, i'd love to get any and all advice from you guys!

Your "girl friend" doesn't sound like much of a friend.
It's always rough coping with the loss of a loved one babb4214.
Maybe she just doesn't want you wallowing in self pity?
In any case, mourning a loss isn't a bad thing.
It's gets easier to cope with every day that passes.
Try to keep your chin up.

babb4214, my heart goes out to you Bro. I am very sorry to hear about your father.
I lost my Dad 3 days before I turned 16, and lost my Mom 1 day before I turned 32. I have a good idea of what you are going through. The grieving process hits everyone differently. I'ts understandable to want your space at this time, but keep family close. They will need you as much as you need them. I won't lie to you, this is going to be a rather tough road to negotiate. BUT, you WILL! It takes time to heal. I don't have all the answers, but you are welcome to PM me and I will try to help as much as I can.
I will keep you in my prayers.

Babb, I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. I just sent a prayer for you and your family. You've already started in the right direction. Reach out to others. It may be family, friends, church family or a bunch of bald guys on a web site. You can and will recieve support and comfort from others.

Peace and prayers to you and your family Babb!

Babb, sorry to hear about your tragic loss. My prayers for you and your brother. My cousins lost their mom, dad, and two grandparents in the space of a year. The way he got through it was to rely on one another and other members of the family for support. That and their strong faith got them through it.
-
May your Dad Rest in Peace. Stay strong.

I lost my dad when I was 13. My mom scared us all last year when she was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer, but fortunately, she has been cancer free for a year now after undergoing surgery and 6 months of chemo. I understand what your going through, and will keep you in our prayers.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Try to take comfort in the good memories you have. My thoughts are with you.

Babb, sorry to hear about your dad. We're all here for you.

Babb,
I am sure your girlfriend means well and is sharing in your pain. Women like to talk things out, its just their nature, and most guys reflect from within and need time to process. There is no right or wrong answers and emotions will effect you in different ways. Stay open to the ones close to you, as others have said you need each other through this difficult time.
-
Sorry for your loss. You know everybody here has you in their thoughts.
-
Babb, sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our prayers mate.
-
Sorry to hear about your loss, babb. Always a tough situation, but you have to hang in there. Stay close with family and talk things through, rely on memories.
Thoughts and a prayer for you and your family.
-
Likewise Babb, My best wishes for the future for you the family mate.

babb4214,
I feel your pain bro, I also lost my dad just a few short years ago. I was a long haul truck driver at that point in time and I remember waveing goodbye to him as I headed out on my usual trip. It was the next day when I arrived at my destination and I decided to do some shopping for my dads birthday, as it was the following day. I called my wife at home to see if she had already picked him up something and to see about makeing plans for some sort of party when I got back home, only to be told that he had collapsed at work that morning and passed away. He was my best friend, and I miss him alot.
My point is I dont think that you'll ever get over it, however its something that we have to accept. We are all here for you, I know it sounds like an old cleché but remember all the good times that you had together, and when times get tough, we'll be here to help.
Sorry if I rambled on.

My heart really goes out to you and your family, bud. I understand how it goes all to well - I lost my dad when I was in my mid 20's and my mom a few years later. If I can "be there" for you in any way, please send me a PM, and I'll get back to you ASAP.
