Jaxurman,
I hate to hear that. It will take a long time but eventually your sense of loss will lessen to a degree,but only a degree. Take care of yourself and your other loved ones. Try to remember the good times, those memories are what keep one going through the bad times.

I know how much your father meant to you. I'm glad to hear that you were able to spend some time with him on his last night in this world. Our prayers are with you, your mother, and all of your family. Your mother will need you by her side to get her through these times of sorrow and I'm sure you can use her company, too. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you. Take care and may God bless, Dudley

Jack,
I'm truly sorry and saddened to hear of your dad's body dying. Always take heart in the fact that his Spirit and memories will be with you forever.
With time, your broken heart will heal.

Jax, you have been thru hardtimes for sure...I too have been down that road with my Dad....now watching my bedfast Mom slip...real tuff. One consolation I found with my Dad is that he is at peace and the pain I feel is MY personal loss...this does not make it hurt less, but I found some comfort in this thought. My prayers are with you, your Mom, and of course, your Dad. Regards, Mike

I know this has been very hard for you. After awhile the sadness will fade. You will think of your father and smile as a fond memory enters your thoughts. You were able to be with him right to the end. He knew he was loved and I am sure that made things easier for him. You were a good son to him and he was obviously a good father to you.
My prayers are with you, the rest of his family and all his friends.

I'm sorry to hear it Jack.
From our numerous phone conversations, I know you were close with your dad.
From my personal experience...keep him in your memory, and he'll be there when you need him...
