I usually don’t share personal things online, but this year has been one of the hardest of my life. I lost my dad. He was the person I respected the most, feared the most, & always looked up to. It’s hard to put into words how big that loss has been for me. Most of what I’ve done in life was to make him proud. He had so many dreams for me, & I’ll keep chasing them as if he’s still with me.

He’s with you if you’ll let him be with you. I lost my dad near the end of 1999. I still remember him like it was last week. I’m sorry you lost your father. It’s never easy.
Losing mine was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. Sending you healing thoughts and support. I’m here if you ever need to talk to someone about it. I actually found nostr incredibly therapeutic for grieving as I could talk to other people who have been through it before me. It gets easier 🫂
I was with him. We met after three years. We talked, and within days, he was gone. Cancer took him. I was right there in the hospital, feeling completely helpless. I still don’t have the words for it.
Sorry for your loss, i am sure words cannot really describe such situations. But life goes with you now, stay strong

i went through the same - there's no recovery only improvement he's still with you - it's just different now - keep moving forward
I know the feeling all too well. It's hard to process when that one person in your life that was there for you the most is just gone from this plane.
You were lucky, then. I know people so anguished about their family and friends dying alone. It is difficult to experience, but it is important.
I had a similar relationship with my father, who died suddenly in 2019. One year later, my mother also passed away. It was a bizarre year, with COVID and everything. Things pass, and you grow stronger over time. Being alive means accepting that nothing is truly permanent. Keep it up!
