Hi everyone,

This morning, at around 7:15 am, my father passed away of a suspected heart attack. Due to my severe laziness, he used to give me a lift to the station, but not this morning. After agreeing to met me in the car - whilst this idiot sorted his hair - he collapsed oh the stairs. The paramedics tried for half-an-hour to revive him, but he passed away. I'm totally at a loss and just don't know what to. All I have done today is walk in circles, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee.

The last words he said to me were: 'I don't feel well'... then he died.

Rest in peace, Dad  :(

Oh man,don´t what to say,can´t say that i´m sorry because it sounds phony.BUT i do know what you´re going thru.
Been there,done that!

But trust you´ll get over it,and remember to speak your heart out about this,don´t hide anything.Otherwise you
end up like me.Trust me on this!

all the best
Marko

Sincere condolences, Alex.  No one is ever prepared for the loss of a parent - no matter how old you (or they) are.  Remember the good times.

Alex,

I'm so sorry to hear this very sad news.May your dad rest in peace.

Steve

PM for you.

So sorry to hear that.

So sorry for your loss! Take care Alex

Oh man, that is hard, Alex.  I'm very sorry to hear of your father's passing, so sudden, so unexpected.  Hang in there as best as you can.  Rest In Peace Alex's Dad.

My condolences to you, may your Dad rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of your loss.
I went through it about a year ago.
Hang in there -- the tough times pass and you will ultimately remember the good times you had together.

I'm so very sorry Alex.  
I lost my mom six years ago this summer and no matter how old you are nothing prepares you for losing one of your parents.

Feel what you feel - there is no guide book and no right or wrong.  Just don't bottle it up.

As others have said, we are all here when you need to vent, chat or whatever.

Best Wishes,
Angie

Hang in there HTM!!! my thoughts are with you and your family

My condolences to you Alex, be sure he's in a better place now

anytime you want to talk - call me.
Anytime.
hang in there.

Alex, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. It's never an easy thing to lose a parent. I lost my mom back in 1986 to cancer. Hang in there brother. Cherish the memories and keep him alive in you.

Riffy

I am echoing the sentiment of others to hang in there and remember the good times......be strong and know you have many friends here in support

Alex, that's a sad and really bad notice.
I'm so sorry, my father had the same suddenly way off and  I understand your feelings, my truly condelence to you and your family.
Fabio

So sorry for your loss, Alex.

Oh My dear dear Alex.

I am so so terribly sorry for your sudden loss.  I lost my dad when I was 16, he was in the hospital, but I thought that he was coming home.  He didn't come home.

I'll PM you, so we talk.

Lots of Love My friend.

Please let me know how I can help.

FG!

Peace be with you!

Just don't feel guilty...sounds as if you might be blaming yourself to a certain extent.

just remember the words of our dear, dear friend Ray:
---------
Thank you for the days,
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me.
I'm thinking of the days,
I won't forget a single day, believe me.

I bless the light,
I bless the light that shines on you believe me.
And though you're gone,
You're with me every single day, believe me.

Days I'll remember all my life,
Days when you can't see wrong from right.
You took my life,
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me,
But it's all right,
Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me.

I wish today could be tomorrow,
The night is dark,
It just brings sorrow, let it wait.

Thank you for the days,
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me.
I'm thinking of the days,
I won't forget a single day, believe me.

So very sorry for your loss.

My sincere condolences go out to you Alex (I didn't know you're real name until it was mentioned) I had an older Brother pass away in 2006, so my heart goes out to you, as mentioned earlier, remember the good memories.

Really sorry to hear it, Alex.

Here is wishing my heartfelt condolences to your family and yourself .

Deepest sympathies to you and your family, HTM.

May your dad rest in peace.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, HTM -- hang in there and may your dad rest in peace.

Oh man. very sorry to hear about this, Alex.

The first time I ever met you was outside the Dylan show at the Docklands in 2002 and your dad was there with you. He seemed a real gent and was very friendly.

Sorry for your loss.

Oh Alex I am so sorry to hear about your loss and that it was unexpected makes it even harder.
I remember thinking how lucky you were to have such a "hip" father when I met him in London.

Don't be too hard on yourself.  You will find the strength to get thru the next days, I am sure. When you get thru all these feelings of loss, there will always be the memories to cherish. xo

:c

HUGS N KISSes to You and yours

:c

My thoughts are with you and your family HTM. Be strong. May your father rest in peace.

So sorry about it HTM, too bad we cannot do anything else but giving our condolences

:sad

Will make sure i call my Dad tonight and say Hi.

Oh, so sad news... My thoughts are with You.
 Take care, Alex.

Hang in there Alex.
Not much anyone can say to make it better, I know. Just try to take it one step at a time, be easy on yourself, let it out.

Sorry for your loss Alex!!

So sorry to hear that, stay strong.

HTM, I am sorry to hear of this tragedy. My condolences go out to you and your family.

Dear Alex, as I already told you in private this is a very special moment and I'm with you, my most sincere condolences for you and your relatives. To lose a father is always sad and the more you grow the more you appreciate him so I'm sure it was not easy specially that it was so quick.

Be strong my friend!  :willya

Ohhhh....:( I am so terribly sorry to hear this, HTM/Alex. :( I have always enjoyed your posts so much, and, even though I don't really know you, I sincerely am sad for your loss. :( I will keep you and your family in my prayers in the coming days/weeks. This is a wonderful place to come when you need to "talk", and you have many, many friends here to want to listen--and help.

My Family and I pray for your strength, your dad is in a better place, the living are the ones that suffer. Be strong friend, we will all be together again.

My condolences, Alex.   I had to start a thread like this here too two years ago.  Don't feel guilty.  Much as it hurts, it will diminish with time.  Life goes on.

ALex--check in with us please.  

Hi everyone,

Firstly, thank you all so much for the kind and considerate thoughts. The coroner phoned this afternoon and it does indeed appear to have been a heart attack. It was incredibly sudden and he would have felt no pain, apparently. I wish I knew his thoughts in the final seconds though. His last words before running up the stairs were: ‘I don’t feel well’ It seemed like the exact same scenario he goes through when he’s about to be sick – maybe he thought he was. At this very moment, my mum, her sister and my two brothers are out at a crematorium. He always said that he disliked the local one, so they have trekked elsewhere!

I’ll post more soon. Right now I just need to reflect, I guess.

Alex

so sorry for your loss Alex

deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Dave

Alex, I'm so very sorry. I'll keep your father in my thoughts and prayers.

Been thinking about you Alex.
Hope you and your family are holding up as best as you can.
Sending many prayers and good thoughts.

LJ.

Alex,I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad.I'm a lot older than you and my dad passed away in 1978.It was a long time ago but the memorys of his life with us will always be there.They say time is a healer and it's true.It may not seem like that now but as time go's by things will feel easier. I know it can be extremely difficult,but try to be brave, and it sounds like you have a nice family to support each other.
Tony

Such a terrible thing to deal with. Once again, best wishes and my thoughts are with you. Your dad was a swell guy and I'm sure he will be missed greatly.
