I lost my father!
I know this topic has absolutely nothing to do with Bodybuilding. I’m very destroyed right now. I lost one of my greatest heroes last week. A very intelligent man and a real fighter. That man is my father. He was taken away from me too soon and am doing everything I can to cope as well as my family. I’m truly going to miss him and there’s never going to be a day when I’m not thinking about him. I’m always going to think about him. I know he’s in a better place now and is no longer suffering. Papa, you’ll forever be in my heart. I just have to take one day at a time and memories and discussing about my father are one of few things that are pretty therapeutic at the moment and are keeping me positive. I’m sure to lots of people that lost their family members as well are in the same vote as me.

I am so sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine the pain you are going through right now of losing a parent. I just lost my uncle last week to cancer and so I know what it’s like to lose someone who shouldn’t have been taken away so soon. Grieve as you should because it’s so healthy that you do, grieving does not mean you are weak; it means you are human. It will take a long time for the pain to subside but one day you will realize that it doesn’t hurt as much as it once did. I am sure he is in a better place now.

Thank you, Autumn, and I’m very sorry to hear about your uncle.

So sorry to hear of your loss my friend. I wish I could say it gets better but it really doesn’t. My father and I was never very close but even after 20 years I miss him. You do eventually learn to cope with it though so hang in there my friend.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that. It’s not easy, that much I know. My deepest sympathies and condolences.

Thanks, Guys! I’m very strong and know it’s part of life. We’re all going to die someday and it’s really nothing to prevent it from happening. Nobody walks on water. It’s when your loss is one of your own, it’s very hard.

I know how you feel.
I lost my mother in March. She passed on after six years of suffering from Alzheimer’s. It was hard at first and I don’t think it has completely sunk in for me. Like your father, she’s in a better place now.

Thanks Appalachian guy! You never get over it. You just except it, but the pain never goes away. Loss is a very hard thing to accept. You’re right though, they are in better places now.
