bob, so sorry bud! be strong for mom

Your father will live on in you and your children. He knows that at some level and the meaning it gives him will carry him through his final days. It is the most any of us can ask for when we look back at our lives.

Be strong, Bob, for you, your wife, and all of your family. Godspeed, bud!

This is always a tough and it is hard way to pass the torch.

When I am out fishing alone deep in the night I say hello to my dad, and many of those that have gone before us. Almost a ritual.

Keep the faith and stay in the moment. My thoughts are with your Dad for sure.

So sorry Bob, the memories that bring tears now will someday bring smiles and you'll know he's in Gods hands. Be strong I know it's not easy. God Bless you and yours.

Oh man. I'm sorry bud. May he R.I.P.

Very very sorry Bob :(
God bless
Stay strong for your Mom
Thoughts are with her , you and all your family. May he rest in peace.

Deepest condolences to you and your family
It's going to be a tough few days.
Try to find strength in the Lord
Don't let hate fill your heart
Death cheats everyone at some point
Try to find refuge in that he is no longer suffering

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Was thinking the same thing. RIP.

Yes, me as well. Not something we all get.

So sorry for your Loss of your Dad and Grandmother Bob...

the heartfelt pain your feeling..... reduces .... over time
making room for fond memories that appear from
out of the Blue to provide you some needed comfort.

Sorry for your loss bud,just remember the good times you shared

Bob,
When me meet again at TFCTFN we shall both raise a
glass to the memories of our fathers. You and I were
lucky, many are not so. God bless us all.

Hey, Bob. So sorry. There ain't any instruction manual for this... People grieve differently, so I have never found fault with how folks manage their grief.
That said, I can only offer what helped me when my father passed. All eyes turned to me as I assumed a new, unwanted role as head of family. Keep your wife close, and communicate what you feel and need from her. Be sure to get some time ALONE. Pray, reflect, meditate, whatever you need to get yourself together. Issues and people are going to be coming at your family in many states of their own grief. Some issues will be unexpected. Some behaviors of mourners can be unhealthy to your family. Recognizing and diplomatically handling the unexpected is your new role in protecting the family. Delegate what you can. Have the younger kids keep everyone hydrated, especially if you are having a wake. Taking care of your mom and the rest of the clan begins with making sure you are good to go.... I'm just a phone call away.

Sorry for your loss Bob. RIP
