I'm so sad. Yesterday we unexpectedly and suddenly lost my Dad. My heart is aching. It's been the hardest 3 days I've ever lived through. I feel so overwhelmed with emotion and disbelief that my Dad is gone and not coming back. I loved him so much, and I hope he knew I felt, and that I appreciated every thing he's ever helped me with, taught me to do..oh, I wish I had a chance to tell him. He was at work and had an aneurysm burst in his brain. The doctors think it was probably there his whole life. No one knew. I want him back. My Calleigh has an easter egg for him that he teased her for, he was supposed to be here right now building our new back yard with us. Now I don't want to do it, because I wanted us to do it together. Oh my god, how do I make this hurt stop?

ReplyDeleteOh Sarah :{ I am so sorry to read of your very sad news.

Hold on to your little ones, I'm sure they will give you all the strength you need to get through this tough time. Thinking of you... Son x

I'm so sorry to hear this Sarah. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I hear your sadness and ache - I'm so, so sorry. It seems so unfair to have him be there one day and gone so suddenly the next. May your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, I'm so incredibly sorry... huge virtual hugs and kisses
ReplyDeleteSo sorry! Only time will lesson the pain. My first husband lost his Dad to the same thing. They had a disagreement before that happened, and he never could forgive himself. He has managed to deal with it now, it has been over 10 years. Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI am so sad for you and your family! You just reminded how precious every sinle minute is. Big hugs and prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah, I am so sorry for you and your family. Of course your dad knew he was loved and I'm sure he's very proud of you. I will be keeping you all in my prayers this week. xoxo
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteI am so,so very sorry for you and your family. I cannot imagine how difficult these days are for you. I will hold you and your family in my prayers.
Dear Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI offer all of my love and prayers to you and your family. I can not fathom the pain you're going through. May you be surrounded with love and support in this most difficult time.
Sincerely,
adoring blog reader
Sarah...I am hurting for you and your family. I lost my Dad when I was 40 very unexpectedly from a heart attack. It rocked my world. I seriously thought I would never get over it. Please know you are in my thoughts....and I hope and pray that you will find some peace in the coming weeks. I know I speak for everyone...that I wish there were words to help.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading you blog for a while now, but never really felt the need to comment.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry about the loss of your precious & beloved father. No one will ever love you the way he did, and that makes the ache so much harder. My mother, who was my best friend, died unexpectedly in a car accident nearly 5 years ago when I was 21. I know the pain and anguish you feel.
You won't ever forget him and you won't ever "get over" his unexpected death, but life does go on and you eventually learn to live with the grief. Right now it's going to hurt. Your heart is going to hurt. But that's just the beginning, eventually the pain will dull and from time to time you'll forget it's even there.
If you believe in heaven or the afterlife, then take comfort in knowing you will see him again, when the time comes...I'm still waiting to see my mom.
My thoughts are with you & your family.
Sarah I'm so so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you're going through right now but sending prayers and virtual hugs your way!
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. I lost my dad when I was 19. It is hard but it will just take time. Lean on your family and friends and let them help you when you are having a bad day. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Oh Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to read this. I keep thinking how we emailed this weekend during all of this. I wish I had something to say or do to make it better, I can't imagine.
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI just can't stop thinking about you. My heart aches for you, I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. You are such a strong, motivated, caring, and thoughtful person that even a stranger can recognize. I am sure your dad was incredibly proud to call you his daugther! Sending my love you way.
Oh my goodness Sarah, my heart hurts for you. You and your family are in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.

ReplyDeleteSarah, I'm so sorry for your loss. It hurts to read the pain in your words. I too lost my father unexpectedly when I was 17. I used to cringe when people would tell me that time heals all wounds because I could not imagine the pain ever going away. So many years have passed and I can tell you now that thankfully it does become easier. Thinking of you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family
ReplyDeleteSarah, so sorry for you and your family for your loss. He knew, don't you even doubt that, I am sure he was so prud of you. And i bet he too wished he would of said he was more often. Take care and take the time you need to heal.
