Dude whats up man are you kool? Cuz I lost my dad last year, it is tough and I dont really like talking about it but I can understand wanting to share how you feel with others. I kept my feelings bottled up for a long time and did alot of drugs. But Im past all that now.

I'm sorry to hear this Adam. It's never easy saying goodbye, and a lot of people never get a chance to do that.The important thing to remember is what they wanted you to become/achieve in your life. That's usually just the feeling of being happy. Being true to yourself and making something of your life just about always brings on the happy factor.The circle of life continues. Take pride in the memories, and try to teach others the good they taught you.

true, celebrate life rather than dwell in death

My brother has now been dead longer than he was alive, but his art lives on in my apartment (I'm sorta the curator). A wonderful reminder of the creative genius he was when he was alive.

My old man died in April while we were on our way to the bar. Just fell over dead. I went downstairs to check the hockey scores and came back up and that was it.

I am completely and utterly heartbroken and I feel that I will never be the same. I tried to save him, but it was too late I guess. Probably never be able to forgive myself for failing. Somedays I do not even want to be alive, and everyday, I ask why couldn't it be me and not him. Still crying myself to sleep every night, it is odd when I drag a random slut home from the bar and cry before sleeping. It's kind of funny in a way...

He was my ace.

I don't have a male relative over 55 yrs old. We were joking around about it on his 55th birthday in March. It turns out that he was dead less than a month later.

reason I deleted - or wanted to delete my thread was because I was depressed all day yesterday. And I know so many others go through it but its the loneliest thing in the world even when you have loads of people round you and a great family

Losing my Dad last year, gonna lose my mum very soon (both cancer) and my sister has been very unwell for months and I am very worried about her but baring anything awful she'll survive - she is 26 and was very fit so its a good scenario bar being in hospital...

My mum is 60, my dad was 59 - Kinda annoys they miss retirement. Its not fair but many of us have had to suffer it. After reading my thread it was kinda selfish and you're right about at least having time at the end and its not sudden. I feel bad for those that it is.

I know time helps all this, just crap really. Sorry for being weird (!)

it is crap adam.

its a hard thing to deal with. and everyone deals with it differently. i dont want to be discouraging but time does not heal all. to me time only makes things easier and dulls the pain. i use to be like fern, crying myself to sleep everynight but at some point the pain wont be so fierce and life will get in the way and hopefully you will choose to focus on the good or you'll end up getting trapped in your depression. i did for 8 years. 8 years of feeling like an empty shell with nothing but sorrow. dont do that!! it didnt help me at all. and i'm sure it made my parents feel like shit. i wouldnt want someone to feel that way over me.

right now, only worry about today and tomorrow, worry about tomorrow!

Finally a Joke that starts and FINISHES with a Priest, a Preacher, and a Rabbi


A priest, a preacher and a Rabbi walked into their favorite bar, where they would get together two or three times a week for drinks and to talk shop.

On this particular afternoon, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.

One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.

Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.

Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages, goes first.
"Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, " WELL brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."

They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape.

The rabbi looks up and says, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."
