I recently lost my father an I dont know what to do. Sometimes I just want to die. I never felt pain like this before. We were so close and now he’s gone. I know this is a new website im not really expecting anything but it just helps with me getting it out.

Tom Just put your cares on The Lord and He will help you as He did me after loosing my dad in a tragic accident in Dothan and then years later the death of my precious new grandson that never got the chance to say hi. I still have those days when I wonder who they’d be today and what we’d be doing if they we’re still here. But there is a time for everyone here on earth to leave and we just never know when out time is up. I learned to walk by faith in Jesus Christ day by day and put all my trust in Him even though I don’t know the reasons why things happen. But He can ease the pain if we’ll trust in Him and pray and lay our troubles at His feet in prayer. Give it time my dear friend, You will smile again I promise! If you ever need anyone to talk too please feel free to e-mail me because I do care. Cher

Tom its going to feel that way for some time. I know people tell you its going to get easier with time and unfortunately thats the only answer. Day by day you are going to get stronger and understanding will come. Be patient and strong. Your dad would not want you to do anything to hurt yourself.

I thank those who have commented its been a couple of months now and I still can’t believe that if I live to be 100 years old, I will never see my daddy again. I’ve been doing better, I use to just want to die but I know he would not want that. I pray and go to church now and it seems that the church family has been a real blessing. I don’t know you but I will keep you in my prayers. I think the hardest part is how he looked when he died, he had cancer and he used to be a big man and when he died he was just not himself and its hard for me to get that out of my head. God was not a huge part of my life before but I can honestly say Him being in my life has saved me! I wanted to die.

I dont know much about my father he was killed when I was three. I didnt hear to many about him so my information about him is very limited. There are alot of things I’d like to know about him: how his voice sounded? His smell? The Color of his eyes… I dont bother my mother to much it happened over 30 years ago, however I was made sure to know that I was his little girl and he loved me.
Happy Fathers Day Daddy!

I recently lost my father on June 25th, 2008. I totally know what you’re feeling Tom, and I myself am scared. I want to be with my Dad so bad it hurts. I am an entertainer in Las Vegas and I can’t be around people that are happy. I’ve cancelled shows and just want to stay home and do nothing. I know in my mind this is not me, but then I can’t bring myself to jumping for joy at this moment in time. I pray to God to help me understand why my dad had to suffer and why he took him away from me. Then I feel all emotions, sad, angry, enclosed, lost..which way to go…
I miss you dad…I miss you so much.

Richard, My father passed away about a year ago and I tell you the pain never goes away, however it does get easier to deal with as time goes by. When he stopped breathing I wanted to stop also, but I couldn’t. I have a wife and kids who I knew depended on me but at the time nothing mattered. I was like a child crying for its mommy, I wanted my daddy. I eventually over time began to deal with the fact that I was never gonna see him again. I mean if I leaved to be 100 I would never see him again. I think that was the hardest thing to grasp. I now understand that he did not want to leave me, he did not choose to go it was a natural part of being on this earth. I now spend as much time as I can with my family and I make sure that they know that I love them. This holiday without him was hard but I made it and you will to. You are gonna feel like nothing and you are gonna want to do nothing and just be left alone…but try to think about how your dad would feel if he new you were doing that. You are a performer and I’m sure you love doing that and he would want you to continue doing what you loved. Websites like this are also great because you can talk to other people who are also hurting and no one has to be in your face. Some of the post I put up I would never say to my friends but this makes it easier for me to be free. Do what you know he would want you to do and may be that will help you alittle bit until you can deal with it a little better. It’s always said and it is true the pain does not go away but it does get lighter.

Thanks Mark.
I know it will take time…but sometimes I feel selfish and I want my dad back with me. Somethings are easier said than done.
I’ve been there for friends and family members who lost a parent, but never thought what I would do if I lost one. My mother is helping us cope as her strong faith in God keeps her going…
For I believe but sometimes …I have to ask WHY?…and recently that question pops in my head too many times. I wonder where he’s at… I want to be there with him. I want to have that security. I now realized that I am not afraid of dying. Knowing that someone I love so much is there..where ever there is… is waiting for me. Sometimes I don’t know what to believe. Am I wrong for feeling this way..?

I don’t think your wrong for feeling the way you do, you are hurting and your father recently passed. What you have to try to remember is, would your dad want you to be the way you are right now…I’m sure he would not so then you have to try to find some type of inner strength and pull yourself out before its to late. You can not go with him because its not your time a time will come when we will all again be reunited with our loved ones but just not today. Be strong, pray and continue to talk about it. Absorb yourself in something that you love and something that would also make your father proud. One day you wont seem like your being selfish. It’s hard not to understand until you reach the point of no longer being selfish. You are in my prayers.

Thank you Angel…I know in time I will be myself again. But I have changed and didn’t realize it till a good friend pointed it out to me. I realized at this moment little things bother me…
I guess what I am trying to say is…the little things people complain about bother me. I just want to grab them and shake them and tell them to overlook the stupid things and continue living…I am realizing my father would want me to do the same..continue living my dream and working to be a better person.
I yet to go out in public..and perform on stage..but while resting and thinking so much..; I have been working on a different type of show which will tell more of a story…a theme.
I will add a short video of my father and family and show the world what a great man my father was and how blessed I am to have the family I have. Music is everything to me, and though I am not ready just yet..I know in time my show will go on with my dad standing right beside on stage like he said he would.
When that day comes I hope to feel his energy all around me guiding me to a better direction with faith, love, courage and respect for myself and others. Thanks again and God Bless.
My dad said the show must go on..but it’s so hard to take that first step even after years in the business…..
