Black_Sheep Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I lost my dad on January 26, 2021 It’s been a roller coaster year for sure. Mom passed in 2019 so taking care of dad fell on my shoulders. He had dementia, but I didn’t really know how bad it was because mom did a good job covering for him . It was rough at times, but I’d gladly do it all over again. I sure miss him… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 It’s a tough day and I’m sorry for the loss along with you. Try to do something good today that he would have loved. Make it a day to honor him and I know he’ll be right with you while you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Sheep Posted January 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) I had a bit of a meltdown this morning, but called my sister Beth in Green Bay to wish her a happy birthday. (Imagine losing your dad on your birthday) She is a woman of faith and after talking with her I feel much better. Thanks guys for the words of encouragement… Edited January 26, 2022 by Black_Sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belt Fed Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Sorry for your loss, Dementia is a horrible disease. my wife is battling it now for three years. it has progressed rapidly and gotten worse. it's a horrible feeling watching someone you have lived with for over 40 years decline mentally. I had big plans for us when i retired and this happened. it just takes the life out of them. they don't want to do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 It is truly a heartbreaking experience 😢 Grandmother, Uncle, Mother in law, and now sister in law with this psychotic break at 60. Sad,sad,sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I am sorry for your losses as well. I lost both of my parents in the last year and a half. It is difficult to move on at times because you want to pick up the phone to ask them a question that they would surely know the answer. As was said, honor your dad by doing something that he would have enjoyed with you. They live on in you and your actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
