tell us about your experiences-> how to deal, realizations, stories, etc.
it might help someone who's experiencing the same thing.

I just lost my father last Feb. and i think this is the most painful thing i've ever experienced in my life bec. my father died so suddenly. I was depressed for a while and sometimes i miss him so much. I realized that life is really short, we don't know the time God will take us away. Sometimes i asked God why he took my father so soon bec. he was such a good father but we can never question death. well,life has to move on. All i can say is while your parents are still around, tell them that you love them, spend each time. If you have grudges, make it up with them cos no we never know.Only God knows.

I only got to learn more about my grandfather 6 years after his death. only to realize we share the same passion. I regret not talking to him more when he was still alive. reminiscing is nothing but fragile memory. death usually push you to do the things you wish you should have done when the person was alive.

harbor the best of memories with those still alive. trust me, you'll look back at everything with a smile.

@Purple and Mabix: thank you so much for sharing. it means a lot.

i hated my grandfather so much way back when. he was very strict-- we had to follow all rules (no TV on weekdays, etc., no bfs, no phone calls).
i still remember when my suitors would cower with fear every time they go to our house. he had high standards and no one could ever pass them. basta grabe cya ka strict. reflecting on it now, i realize that a lot of what i am right now is a product of what he taught me. and i miss him badly. he died 6 years ago and there are still moments that i long for someone to lead me to the right track the way he does. i wished he could've known myh wab right now. you would have been proud of me and him. love you pa and i miss you.

my father in law died last month. It was soooo painful. He is like a real father to me. He died so suddenly and I really miss him so much. There was a felling of void in my wife's family. Although we are anxious about his health and the possibility of death is just around the corner we are still stunned by his sudden passing.

Things will never be the same when someon will die in the family. Mingaw.

i lost my mother 14 years ago...physically that is....i have come to realize you do not really lose your loved ones...the best memories are kept in the heart...when i miss her ...i close my eyes and believe me even after all these years i can "smell" her....her scent would envelope me and i get comforted....
