Members jayd63 Posted March 18, 2009 Members Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Kaitlyn, I'm so sorry you lost your dad........it must be especially difficult losing him while you are so young and still had so many things to share with one another. It is very normal to pull away from someone who is dying, it is an autopilot response to protect yourself, so please don't feel guilty about it. I know your dad knew how much you cared for him and understands the pain you went through too. Do what you can to keep the good memories in the forefront , and focus on that- that is what is getting me through. I lost my dad on feb. 20, and miss him alot too. when someone loves you as much as our dads did both of us, their love doesn't die- i feel it around me every single day like a warm hug. take care, jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kattieeeee Posted March 22, 2009 Members Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi Kaitlyn, I too lost my father when I was 15 -- that was 33 years ago. It's a horrible thing to have to go through at any age, but 15 is an especially horrible age to deal with it...it really affected my for years afterwards and I made some pretty bad choices in my life because of it. The best thing I can tell you is not to feel bad for anything you did or didn't do before he died -- he knows you loved him. And most of all don't go looking for a man to replace him because none ever will and you will only hurt yourself. You will never get over his death but you will learn to live with it.
