I have told my boy for awhile that Grampy Dave was really sick. He knew something wasnt right, because my dad wasnt going out anymore to play ball, shoot hoops, or even fish, and nothing would stop him from fishing. He has wondered why I have been home from work all week. Last night I told him that Grampy Dave was not gonna make it, and it finally sank in. He got really shook up. This morning when he got up for school, I was already gone. After getting on the bus, my wife came to the hospital and stayed all day. She had to leave to get Luke off the school bus, and not 30 minutes later, my dad passed. She couldnt believe it. I was there with her when her dad passed from cancer 13 yrs ago. She told Luke when he got home. I thought he would be crushed, but instead he said his famous line, "what a surprise!" Lol. I dont think it hit him yet. Once he goes to their house and see he is not there, I think it will sink in. Sad days ahead.

It was wonderful that you could hold his hand when he passed. I got to with my grandpa; it was really nice.
So sorry for your loss.

You have my sincere condolences, I lost my dad 23 years ago and I still find myself talking to him. Even when you expect it it’s hard. You and your family are in my prayers.

Yes, sad days ahead. Grief is tough, and it seems that only time helps. Missing them never goes away. Sure it can help to talk and share it, but mostly grief is an individual experience.
I didn't seem to be able to help my wife and she didn't seem to be able to help me. Sure we talked, but processed it in our own way.
It's tough! However, I think it's necessary to let it rage in us for its time. I didn't fight it, and it took its course.
Hey, just now after 4 years I can hunt with a crossbow again, but I did good yesterday. It wasn't the same, but it was okay.
I will continue to pray for you and your family.

I really cannot imagine what it is like to lose a father. I was still bitter about my dad leaving when I was young until I was 40 years old. I remember needing to cut down 4 tall poplar trees by my house. I'd never cut down a tree before.
I wished so much that I had a dad to just sit in a chair drinking ice tea and telling me what to do.
I know you fellas are very thankful to have had one in your lives. It's worth the pain of losing them.

Yes its unfortunate to lose a parent, I lost my dad when I was 17 due to suicide and I came home from school to find him that way and I lost my mom in 2018 to cancer. I know its never a good time for that kind of loss, but The Good Lord and Time have ways of easing the pain.

We coordinated after our family meeting, to spread my grandparents ashes in the cemetery where their parents are. The lady from the funeral home is also in charge of the cemetary, and they have a garden area set up for ashes. Very fitting to put them to rest finally, except my dad wasnt there. We will spread his ashes per his instruction in the future.
I just wanted to thank everyone for the support and well wishes. I think we are over the hurdle of acceptance that the suffering is over now.
Jay and family

Everyone has their own way of dealing/handling the loss of a loved one. But I think its very safe to say that you probably have the best support group you can ever find. Between your own family and the members here, I'm certain we've got your back to the end.

You have expressed your sincereness very hard to me about this event, here and thru pm's, and I want to say thank you very much for your effort. We dont even know each other, yet you have went way out of your way for me. I owe you a debt of gratitude, and hope to sit down over a beer some time. Thanks friend.

I used to long for death, because of the brutal fatigued I experienced each day. They aren't tired, sad, sick and wouldn't come back if they could. God will draw closer to you in this time of suffering.

We held a celebration of life yesterday for family and friends. It was a nice way to put some closure on my dads passing. I thought I was over the hump emotionally, but yesterday proved how that will never happen. We were so exhausted, emotionally, mentally, and physically, that we all cut the day short and got a well deserved great night of sleep. Again, just want to say thanks for the support and we really appreciate the well wishes.
My dad would not want any more grieving. So in his honor and wishes, it's time to get on with life, and get back on track. I am ready to get this hunting season going now!
