Coming from someone who has lost both of their parents and their father in law I can tell you that it’s not going to be easy for a while but the memories will never fade and you will always find something to smile about when you think of him. Keep your head up. I’m very sorry for your loss. ---

Oh man. I’m sorry. ☹ RIP. My best friend lost her dad to a heart attack. I’ll never forget the phone call. He was outside playing in the yard with her little sister too. Ugh. That’s it, I’m calling my dad right now. I always fear this day, cuz my dad smokes, is over weight, has a bad back, has high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. ---

It really sucks for a while when you lose a parent. Hang in there. My dad is the last of his immediate family, and he lost his parents when he was 13. He is also the oldest @ 62. IIRC, nobody else made it that far. I hope finances don’t cause problems in your family, greed can tear that shit up. ---

A few things I learned when the one who raised me passed Be happy they passed in their sleep. Don’t mourn their death, celebrate what they gave you while they were alive. Believe that they watch over you. Give your shoulder to those who mourn. Always tell the people around you just how great they were. Laugh at the arguments you’ve had with them. ---
