I've lost both my parents now, my father in 1997 to a very sudden heart attack, and my mother last September to cancer.

It sucks!

It does get better, but honestly I still sometimes miss mom so much that it takes my breath away. Be kind to yourself. Take care of yourself and your siblings. You will all deal with things differently and that's okay. Remember him -- the bad and the good. Let yourself be sad when you need to be. And eventually it will be okay to be happy again too.

Gentle hugs!

I'm so sorry for your loss. There's a special bond between a father and a daughter that I've seen time and again and will never understand but admire greatly. He'll always be a part of you. The depth of one's grief is a measure of their love for the deceased. I can tell you loved him dearly. Mourn his loss. It will take time to adjust. Then celebrate the life he lived and the impact he had on you and your siblings as well as many others.
