Unexpected call....that collapsed my world......

That was the worst Cloud31. I want to die to when I am in your position. Even me and my father is not in good terms sometimes, I do not want to be in your position. I want to offer my condolences to you and your family. How old is your dad? and may I know what is the reason of his passing? That was so sad. If I am near you, I will hug you and cry with you,as actually while typing this one tears are falling on my cheeks and I do not care if people in the office notice it as i feel the hurt you are feeling. However, you need to be strong Cloud31, there is no one that can help you but yourself. I will include you in my prayers.

...when I was still young, about 7 years old, I had experienced something like that..I wasn't able to spend much time with my father since he and my mom has a conflict and I am born in a broken family..thus, seldom we see each others..when I arrive from school one afternoon, i got the unexpected news...my father passed away..it wasn't a call but still the feeling is the same, I am not sure how to react, I can explain what emotion i should show...despite the fact that I wasn't with him all the time, since I am living with my mom..I still love him and long for his fatherly love...never did I experience a christmas with him beside, but I guess, that's life...his important to me as much as how important my mom is and it hurts so much when you saw your friends together with their mom and dad...it's painful but the best thing we can do is to live according to the legacy that they left behind...in that way, we can show our gratitude for being their children...:)

Oh Sweetie I am so sorry and yes I know what the pain is like But try to remember he will always be with you and be close to you Sweetie I am so sorry Big warm Hugs to you and I hope you feel a bit better

Dear friend, I could taste the feelings of that time. May be some news do give a great impact to our life and mind. It also depends how well a person presents certain bad news to those others especially to those people who could face a stroke.

I was born a few months after the passing away of my father. I have never experienced the love a father. Those of you who have father who loves you and to love him is very lucky. So take good care of him and love him dearly. Make time for him who sacrifices for you when you were young.

Hiya cloud, That happened to me it will be eight years tomorrow (22nd of August 2002) that it happened that I got that call. At first I could not cry properly I was upset but also because of the problematic people involved in the situation as well. They caused me a lot of pain not just with the News they gave me but with other things they did along the way. But now that´s all over they have no chance of hurting anyone else not ever. Eight years ago my Mom passed over and I was able to be there and that was my greatest pain.

My dear, I'm so sorry for your loss. I too received a call to say my Mum had passed away and that was nearly nine years ago. It seems much less time than that. I still think of Mum a lot and remember how generous she was....sadly, I didn't appreciate her as I should have. I often wish we could have been better friends. I will always miss Mum and I dread the day when I receive the call about my Dad. He is healthy and well at 97 but his days must be numbered by now.

First I would like to say that I am SO sorry for your loss! The last most heart wrenching phone call that I got was from my best friend at the time in 2007. She had gone to the Hospital, and she called me before she went into surgery. She was calling to let me know that the baby inside of her that was almost due was gone. She said that the doctor told her that on her ultrasound their was no heart beat and she had to go and get baby out. I almost fell over right away as I was standing when she told me and all I could say was how sorry I was, and to please get someone to phone me when she got out of surgery so that I knew she was okay. I didn't sleep a wink until after she called and I knew that she was okay! I haven't had one of those phone calls since thank goodness.

Yes and exactly the way as happened to you. It was hurt and no one is excused when it comes. Another was my personal life that somebody called told about the wedding my bf and his current gf has made the same month although he is still my partner. And I was very thankful that this happened to me and i recovered from this as I am really strong now. And i can hold on to myself until now. I need to be strong and this can be happen only by means of acceptance. Every thing in my life to be accepted open heart. Then those heartache will be alright. This is what is happening to me now. No one will help me but myself. Moving on. This is life for me. Thanks and have nice day friend!

my condolences for your family. this reminds me, i'd better get a job soon, knowing my dad isn't going any younger. I've been applying but not too often. it's hard to loose a parent, but we can't control time and some day they will be gone. it's hard though but i hope one day you get to move on. i don't want to feel your shoes right now, because i might go paranoid of loosing my own parents. godbless you. pray for your dad.

There is definitely never anything good that comes out of these kinds of calls. I've received them too many times in my life. I remember the most recent one was just a few days after my son was born. When he was just two days old my mother took my grandma home so she could visit her doctor because she hadn't been feeling good. When Paul was six days old she called me and told me that we needed to get up there. The next day, when my son was a week old she passed away. This was so very difficult for me because my son never had the opportunity to know his great-grandmother and also because I'd only recently started building a good relationship with her.

I've never been in this situation before. Accept my sincere condolence. I know how it feels to lose someone you love so much. No words can wipe away the pain you feel now. All I can say is that life must go on. This is part of life. People come and go. Each of us will eventually leave this world. What matters is that we make our loved ones feel how much we love them and we care for them.

First my deepest condolances. I am living in Germany. My loving old parents are living in India. I always have a minute fear on this matter. if the telephone rings in odd times I always think about my old parents. Your discussion gives more thought in me. but I am unable to write more. I hope you can understand me.

Ms. eCloud, I’m so sorry to know about the loss of your ever beloved Dad. I’m extending my deepest sympathy and condolence. Losing someone we love especially our parents was really a very painful and very difficult moment to bear. It was also happened to me, I also received a call from my elder brother telling me that our Dad was already passed away. That was 10 years ago, I was in school that time. It made me shocked knowing it and still cannot believe at first but when I arrived home, I was convinced but it’s really hard to accept. Losing a member of our family or any of our loveones is really a huge trial for us. We have nothing to do but accept it, and we should remember that our lives here in this world was just temporary, something we just borrowed from God. That’s why as long as we live, we should not be tired of showing to our loveones how special they are and how much we love and care for them. Uttering words of affection and care to them is one of the best things that we can do for them to feel how much we value them. We should make every moment special, since they are the ones who are really special to us. We need to move on and continue our lives. We still have a lot of special people around us. Let's stay being nice and continue to give importance to those people whom we consider special and important. Don't be sad too much miss eCloud, your family, friends, and even me will always be here for you. Just always take good care of yourself, always pray, and stay pretty and nice. Have a blessed day as well! :)

I have but i do believe in the resurrection. Its painful being without that person for awhile. But having the resurrection hope and knowing that i will see that person again is exciting.

I thought you were busy with your routines...I'm so sorry to hear this.it isn't easy to accept that someone who has been with you for so many years has passed away.hope you're feeling better now...dont know how to console but...

condolence is all that I can say and I hope you will get better soon my friend. I have experience such phone call, it's not my father but none the less he is very special and dear for all us in my family. My cousin called me back in 2000 one evening, and i thought it was a normal phone call but it happened to be something that i had never thought or guess. She told me that our beloved cousin had passed away in an accident in Indonesia. He was studying abroad and we were actually missed him since he could not come home for Christmas. It was his first year and he said he couldn't come home because of his Visa. I was unimaginable because it happened a day after Christmas and we were talking about him the whole time during our normal gathering at Church on the previous day. I did not even had the chance to say goodbye to him when he went for his study...however his memories will keep on lingering in our heart and mind. He was a dear cousin and will always be to us and I'm sure you feel the same way too about your father. Take care cloud31...

my most sincere condolences and deepest sympathies for your tragic moment in life - losing your father... so, did you go and pay your last respects? i'll share my experience when you answer me... i have lost my father way back in '91....

Sorry for your loss cloud. May your late father rest in peace. Hope you continue to be strong as you have always been. It's OK to cry now but I hope you would just move on. I went through the same 5 five years. I have since moved on although I still miss and love my late dad. Take care my friend!

i'm so sorry to hear that you have just lost someone so close to your heart and you wouldn't be able to see him again.., i know it must have been really hard to cope with that loss.., I haven't experienced that yet and i dread the fact that it is inevitable and might happen somehow in the long run.., I hope you'll have all the comfort and crying shoulder you needed..God Bless you..=)
