My father died. Here is my feelings...

My condolences, msante. It reminded me of my grandmother, she died last year from cancer also. Take care.
 
Msante, hombre!!

My condolences to you and your family who experienced his passing, your kids who now see grandpa go and you who have now witnessed father go, part of your reaction could be due to knowledge of life never really ending, and part the shock.. As everyone has suggested, take time to slowly metabolize the whole experience, be gentle to yourself.

And I consider it a good approach to see it as a step towards the light, un abrazo fuerte hombre!!
 
I'm sorry Msante. My father died the day after last Christmas. I've grieved about it, have gone back to "ordinary" life and feel as if all is well, then I'm reminded again and feel the sadness of his loss. He was a man I loved dearly and respected. He was also 78. Anyway my cousin recorded my eulogy and put in on youtube. Listening to it again wells up the sadness I know I've not really grieved completely. I do miss him and hope wherever his journey takes him that all is well. I've got a feeling often that it is and that a man like my father, who did truly love, will be in a place that is good and fitting, and that learning (which my father loved also) will continue. I've put the eulogy below, as I feel you might find some similarities.

 
I give you thank for all your words and feelings, it feel cute. I am aware that it is possible experience a wide range of emotions, I am open to feel them. I miss my father, I am sad and cry of a short whiles. But despite all that, I feel fine. I do not feel in shock, in contrast I feel more sensitive to others and more aware. I can think clearly and I can act. I can to talk with my childrens with naturality about it. We all cry together embracing, but our lives goes on.

Despite that my parents (both) were children of narcissistic parents, I do not know how, but they were able to be good parents. I always felt that I have been fortunate.

With my brother and my sister now we will support and give comfort to my mother.

Again, thanks to all of you for such warm words.

Beatiful thinkings, thanks!

Msante,
I understand what you have been through...like everyone, I'd been faced with the departure of my loved ones. I had my first experience of clear understanding of impermanence and inner peace , curiously at the age of 8, when I suddenly saw myself standing beside my mother's coffin. And after that other funerals came...I learnt even how to assist people on the verge of taking the road with no return to be able to leave peacefully and gratefied for their life. Much is to learn on these occasions.

And everybody's take is different. I hope that you can walk the road of your life, taking care of whatever feelings , thoughts and situations as they arise.

Peace and light
Joy
