anniversary of my father's death
« on: May 29, 2016, 08:32:52 PM »
This is a sort of heavy topic but would like to share if that is okay. My father who was a veteran drank himself to death on Memorial day about a decade ago. I was able to be there when they "found" his body and when they took it away but they would not let me see him at all. He had a long history of alcoholism and I know that his childhood was definitley lacking and then to be in the military only made things worse on him. I never had a father 24/7 or very much of him in my life but only bits and pieces when he wasn't in a treatment center or being arrested and also when it was "ok" with my mother. I feel there is a hole in my heart nobody else can fill. I wish I could talk to him one more time or that my kids could of had a real grandfather/grandchild relationship. They couldn't, he was too far gone in his alcoholism and homelessness. This time of year just makes me sad for those very reasons. Yes, memorial day is for those who lost their lives but what about those who lost their lives to p.t.s.d. or other such illnesses? I'm getting off my soap box now and then you for letting me vent.  :flagwavingsmiley:

I am so very sorry. Memorial Day is tough for anyone who has lost a close loved one, regardless of how they lost them. I simply hate the time between May 19th and Father's Day. May 19th is the anniversary of my precious sister's death, Memorial Day is always sad and Father's Day is one of the hardest days of the year for me because I grew up a Daddy's girl and my sweet Dad has been gone for 17 years now. I especially understand about your children. My son was only 5 when Dad passed away and my daughter was not even born until 2 years later. Sending you hugs and prayers for peace during this sad time.  :hugs:

 :hugs: Sometimes life deals us a hard hand to play. I never knew my father either, and it was due to alcoholism as well. I didn't find out he died until a good 15 years after the fact. But since I never knew him, there was no love lost. You learn to focus on the positive things that you do know about to compensate for the negative things that you only learn about.  The latter is no way to live.

Reading this, I can really empathize with you. Anyone who has lost someone special in ways that were not natural will never have someone to fill that void. There are times when you will just be quiet as you try to reflect on life but there isn't much we can do to bring them back. I am so sorry for your loss and can only hope that the better days will encompass the lonely days.
