Your dad was so very proud of you!
Comment on How did you guys deal with the death of a parent?
fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 weeks agoTo whatever dad’s and mom’s may be here. My dad died an ocean away while I was finishing my PhD, he used to take me to science museums and do kits with me. I got to tell him over the phone before he passed, but I’m still so sad. I feel so guilty. Please tell me he’d be proud of me. He was an engineer and a lawyer and worked with the homeless too. I miss him a lot.

I lost my mum 19 years ago. I’ve learned that the pain is a signal that I truly loved her, and I still do but time diminishes the hurt. I’ve learned that she still lives on in my thoughts, “what would mum do?”, I reflect on tricky issues, and she’s back in my world, just not physically. I notice I’ve inherited some of her mannerisms the more I age, so she’s never far away and continuing to persist through me. It sounds as if your dad raised you to be a caring, loving thinker. He’s succeeded, he’d be proud. Now take a deep breath and carry his legacy forward.
