Kristin 08-13-2007, 09:43 AM I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Michael. :(
I feel for you - I just lost my dad in September. He was 64. We were glad to have him as long as we did, so it was bittersweet. I just wish he had seen his last granddaughter and been able to be at my wedding.
We didn't have a funeral for him - we had an Irish wake. It was a really nice party. A celebration of life.
I'm glad you are doing the same for your dad.
Best wishes....

PinkCat 08-13-2007, 01:35 PM I am so sorry for your loss. :(
Chatterbox 08-13-2007, 02:09 PM So sorry, Michael. :( There was a show on Gray's Anatomy where one of the character's Dad died and another character said, "Now you're a member of the Dead Dads Club. It's a club that nobody wants to be a member of and life is never the same."
I hope you don't mind my quoting a television show with fictional characters, but whoever wrote it had to have lost their Dad to know what it feels like.
Also, since you've lost both your Mom and your Dad, you might want to check out Amazon or your local library for a book called "The Orphaned Adult: Understanding and Coping with the Grief After the Death of Our Parents" by Alexander Levy.
Again, so sorry Shadow. :(
~Guinavere~ 08-13-2007, 03:25 PM My thoughts are with you and your family. Best wishes and brightest blessings to you Michael.
