WOW...I really thought it would get easier
and not harder. It seems that as days pass, it gets harder to believe my dad is gone. I thought the acceptance of his death would help fade away the sadness and I wouldn't miss him as much as often. That hasn't happened. I wasn't expecting to be caught off guard at odd places that bring on a sudden flood of memories. I can't watch baseball without crying because I feel so sad that he will never be able to teach my children how to hold a bat or throw a ball. He'll never sit on the sidelines cheering. He'll help me plant my garden again. He'll never give me a Christmas present wrapped in comics again. He'll never do any of those things. I miss him so much.

I can only say...with time, your wounds will heal.
Just watch your little ones and smile when you notice something they do, or say, a smile, a smirk or a gesture reminds you of him and know that he's always going to be there with you and them every step of their way into the future.

Re: WOW...I really thought it would get easier
Oh boy can I ever relate. My father will be gone one month on Thursday, and I'm feeling the same way.
Thoughts and memories just hit me in the most unexpected places and ways. Tonight I picked my older daughter up from Lacrosse and the car in front of me was the same make and model as my father's and that just made me so sad to realize that my dad would never see my daughter play again, never know she made the middle school team, missed my little one's first goal this weekend, etc.....
The only thing that comforts me is the knowledge that I was privelleged to be rasied by such an exceptional man.
I hope things get easier for you

Re: WOW...I really thought it would get easier
It will get easier as time passes. My Dad is gone almost 15 years. I think about him all the time & I still get upset at all the things we missed out on.

Re: WOW...I really thought it would get easier
It will eventually - at least that's what I keep telling myself. I lost my dad in 1987, but only lost my mom last month. I don't remember when those moments that caused me to think about my dad and realize he would never ______ stopped reducing me to tears every single time, and instead were replaced with a happy memory of when he did ______ , but it did happen.

Re: WOW...I really thought it would get easier
I lost my dad almost a year ago and I don't expect it to ever get easier or to ever get over it. I guess you just learn to live with it. But I don't think I ill ever fully accept it, you know? I think how you feel is probably very normal.

Re: WOW...I really thought it would get easier
I am going through the same thing right now. I was up last night crying- wishing I could talk to my dad. It has been a bad few days for me....You are not alone !
