I'm doing ok, it wasn't a shock and by the time it happened I was relieved his suffering was over. Upset obviously, but doing ok
mine died in the year 2000. Not a day goes by without a thought of him. And believe me when he told us "you people are keeping me alive for you." I understood what he meant. I'da done him myself. While it was fresh, I kept one thing of his that reminds me of him. It was his handshake. If I close my eyes and think I can feel it to this day.
hang in there guy. As you go on, look around for the reminders of him. they can't reliably repeat them, but people report them all the time. Heck, if it works in QM it can work in easing the transition for you.
The weirdest thing is that it keeps slipping my mind actually, then I'll think something like "oh I'll ask Dad what he thinks" and then it'll hit me again, I can't ask him. That's the worst bit.
I'm trying to look out for my Nana though, losing your child is every parents' worst nightmare I imagine.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
