You have my sympathies, My wife lost her Uncle in October after a battle with cancer. He would be here tomorrow (Christmas day) so its another reminder of his passing.
There is nothing wrong with feeling saddened by your loss, its natural & its healthy for you, your wife & young family. In time, grief gives way to fond & happy memories, its a bastard to begin with, & a roller coaster ride of emotions. But trust me on this, it will get better.

 

I am so sorry HC, its never easy especially near Christmas ... time will help heal as said .. he is alive in your memories and is a part of your value system ... you need to grieve, let the grief come out when you feel it ..it really will help you heal quicker

There is never a good time but during the holidays, when you are supposed to be happy, is even a little more unbearable. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. You know where to find me if you need anything.

Nothing can take those memories you have or the things that he taught you, HC... and it sounds like he had a big influence on you growing up. Well, that does not have to change because he is gone... best wishes to you and your family for the Holidays.

 

63 is too young, sorry for your loss. We all go through it but hearingthat doesn't make it easier.

 

Its Ok you can break down. Sorry to hear HC.

 

its okay to feel sorry for yourself. its part of getting over it, if you try to deny yourself the emtions of going through stuff like this it will only make the process longer. be mad, be sad, be angry, feel sorry for yourself, someone who was very dear to you, someone who taught you countless life lessons is gone, you deserve to feel all those ****ty feelings, and youll start feeling better. if you deny those things to yourself you are denying that something terrible happened. gud luck bro.

 

Tim:

I am very sorry for your loss,
If it is any consolation, just remember he is still living in you, and in the influence he had on the person you are.

It was his body's time to rest, but I believe you'll see him again, in a better place, and in a better state.

Your family continues to be in my prayers this HOLYday season.

 

Hardcorp,
Sorry for your loss. It is never easy when someone passes suddenly...especially when they were one of the forces that helped you grow into what you are today. Time doesnt heal all things but its passage does make some more bearable. Hang in there and stay focused on the ones that you love and love you.

 

thank you brother for the phone call
