My father who was 73 passed away today
73 years old and had major heart attack 2 weeks ago. Worked another week surprisingly and Saturday the tissue between two valves in heart ruptured.


If anyone wants to talk PM me as I’m prettty broken

If only he had went to ER, this wouldn’t have happened.
 
Sorry for your loss. It is getting rare for people to be willing to work or dedicated to productivity. People who have the ability and the mindset to keep working through age and disability are heros in my book.
 
So sorry for your loss. I lost my father July 4, 2012. It seems like forever and yesterday. I wish I knew something to say but so far I have nothing. Replay all the good memories repeatedly. Sincere condolences.
 
I lost my dad February 18, 2006. I still think about him. He was a great man who helped many people during his life. There are still days when I say to myself Dad, I wish you were still here.

We were all lucky to have know him and have him in our lives. Many relatives used his name as their sons middle name. Some say he was the greatest man they ever knew.

Some parts of being without him get easier over the years, some things don't.

53' Stude, I totally understand your loss.

Terribly sorry for your loss. Been thorough that and it's tough. What helps is keeping yourself healthy and also your family. Being able to reflect back on all the good times and knowing he's watching and can see you are doing the right things helps keep a chin up. I follow a YT channel called "The Behavioral Panel" A group of guys with years of experience with interrogation and human behavior. Chase Hughes said something that really sticks..."do something good for your "future self" ..which can be as little as hours ahead, so you can look back with gratitude and not regret. This includes keeping your dad's legacy alive and I'm sure he has done many good things based on your post.

I don't have all the right things to say, but hoping anything can ease some pain.

Our deepest condolences to your family and friends.
 
I have had to endure that too when I lost my Dad in1998. He was 74 and lung cancer got him cause he just wouldn't give up smoking. When I work on stuff or am at the hardware store I;ll quietly say show me what you would do? Sometimes I get an indication. I just know he is always there. So sorry for your loss, but the empty spot will always be there. Just know how much you learned and accomplished because of what he taught you.
God bless you and comfort you.
