This morning around 2 am, my wife’s father passed away at 62 years of age. This is the first loss of a parent for either of us, so this is indeed uncharted territory. If your parents are still with you, call them and tell them you love them, or hug them if they are close enough. We will be in Oklahoma doing all the arrangements, my wife’s words are very fitting I think for anyone who passes away, “I can’t imagine a world without him”.
Drew
Sorry to hear of this bad news. My thoughts and prayer are with your family. I think I will give my mom a call.
Drew,
Prayers & condolences to your wife & all those grieving. Colleen & I lost all 4 of our parents years ago, and both our Dads passed away in their early 60s. While it is a very difficult time, your wife will think of him often, & your lives will be richer filled with his memory.
God Bless,
Mike
The loss of a parent is a terrible thing. My prayers and those of my family and my church will go out for you. John
I am sorry to hear of your loss. You are absolutely right about letting your parents know how much you love them.
Thoughts and prayers for you and your wife and the family.
My wife and I send our prayers as well. Cherish the memories of her Dad, and be sure to hug her Mom and your folks too.
Drew,
Your family is in our prayers. My mother passed away at 62 about 11 years ago, I can relate. Hold tight to your family, friends, faith and all the wonderful memories.
Take care,
Mike
Our prayers are with you. I buried my dad in 89 and mom last August. The grieving process is a bear. You will get through this and live with fond memories. God bless you and yours. Jim
My heart and prayers go out to you. My dad passed away many many years ago. He was in his 70’s. He died of Lung cancer. The last time I saw him I knew he was a dead man but I did not say I love you dad. That was just not something we did. I regret it now. To loose one’s parents is a horrible experience but hang in there. Get through the griefing process and take your time. Remember they will always be in your memories. It was almost 20 years ago I lost my dad. To this day I stop at times and talk to him. I hope he is looking down and saying how proud he is of me. To this day I still cry at times when I think of him.
Hey Drew,
Prayers and thoughts to your wife and to you. We are thinking of and praying for all of the family and friends.
God Bless,
Eric and Amy
Zim…
Sorry to hear about your loss.
I know it’s easier said than done, but I look at the passing of someone as a cause to celebrate a life lived and enjoyed to the fullest.
Try to look upon it, as such.
If there’s anything death should signify, is that :
-Life is too short.
-That each of us touch so many lives in so many different ways…and some of the ways are so slight we don’t even realize what kind of impact such subtle things do. (Like, a smile; a touch; a story; personal experience; a kind word.
It amazes me how such a simple thing as a kind word can touch someone so incredibly.)
Be strong. And remember, so long as you hold your dear one and remember them in your heart…they will live forever.
Health to you and yours.
Sincerely,
Bad Luck Larry
Zim,
My prayers and condolences go out to you and your family. Even when we don’t understand the “why’s,” God’s work goes forward. I will pray that he brings you understanding and peace. Best Regards…,
Drew,
The death of a parent is always a difficult situation. The passing of such a young parent makes the situation even worse. Please accept, and pass on to your wife, my sincere condolences. 8T
My friend I truly feel you and yours pain, I lost my Mom when I was 8 years old… and it still hurts to this day…
My heart and prayers are with you and your wife…
You and your wife have my thoughts and prayers.
I lost both my folks while they were still young. My mother was 61 and my dad was 70. It’s one of the toughest trials we go through in life.
