I wish I heard the family news on Fri tomorrow instead...and this weekend nightmare would have been a bad joke. Unfortunately it isn't.... my dad suddenly died on Fri. Yes, March sucked big time for me.

on hating the fake prez and his supporters. That seems like healthy therapy. Plus I know my dad would be pleased. A good man and great dad!

That is tough. You’re probably still finding it difficult to wrap your brain around his passing.

I was supposed to die first...I was all prepared for that scenario. But this was just. BAM!!! He was even planning helping me with my taxes today as usual, and the new forms too. It is unreal and I will surely screw up since they only thing I can concentrate on is finding more clean tissues.

I think I heard his ghost too. At 12:30 AM the day he died I heard someone (a man with shoes) walking in the EMPTY apt upstairs for about 30 seconds and I even got a neighbor to check it out. My dog's ghost came to my room about 5 times in the week after her death so it's possible.

The grief comes in waves but then you just can’t imagine he’s gone. Your mind takes a while to accept what has happened. It has nothing to do with reason or logic.

Talk about it as much as you need to because it helps you get through it. If you have family this will bring you closer, if you’re already close.

I know what you mean about feeling the presence of someone who has passed. Both people and pets. Who’s to say it isn’t quite real.

I lost my brother my parents and my son at different times so I an assure you that you survive this. Sometimes you wish not to survive but you do. You’ll find yourself remembering the good times much more than you think.

and how wonderful a person and what a true Dem he is (can't say "was" right now) in the future on DU. I wish I could fast forward to when I don't feel so absolutely terrible as I do now.

Especially with people who can share stories about him. It will surprise you when you all find yourselves laughing about something funny.

Hugs to you and your family.

It is too, too much of a surprise to me and my mom and sister. We are devastated. Sunday would have been their 59th anniv too. This sucks more than having that orange ass in the W House. Until last Fri I didn't think that was possible.
