My uncle found him today. They're estimating he's been dead for a couple of days.

He sent me a text basically begging me to return his calls a few weeks ago. We've had a turmotulous relationship most of my life, but needless to say I'm feeling like a huge piece of shit right now.

We dont really know if it was natural or self inflicted but the details I've heard so far make me think it wasnt intentional.

So, yeah. I'm not fishing for condolences. Just a little drunk(about to get a lot more) and venting

Welcome to the club. I lost my dad and brother last year, I hate this feeling but it's not going away. On the 23rd will mark 1 full year without him. I miss him and my bro probably for the rest of the time I'm here.

I'm sorry to hear. My dad died last year in May. His side of the family didn't relay the information the best way either.

Don't beat yourself up. Just be glad if you have any positive memories of him.

That fucking sucks dude, I'm sorry. Try not to beat yourself up over it, there's no way you could have known he was in such a shitty way. Maybe you just thought he was being a drama queen or something, or that it wasn't actually that important and that you'd just get back to him later (which in your mind, was absolutely an option). It's just one of those things we don't take to heart, like.. "Never say goodbye to another person when you're angry" or whatever. We don't ever actually believe that they're just going to be gone.

I found out around last Christmas that my dad has emphysema. It's not surprising because he was a smoker most of his life (cigarettes and weed) but to me it means that he most likely hasn't got a lot of time left since he's already in his mid-50's. I'd imagine he could easily get fucked up by pneumonia or something else at some point, or even just have heart failure or attack due to lack of oxygen. Definitely would like to spend more time with him going forward, I don't know how hard it's going to be to lose either him or my mom.

I do have some good memories. They're sprinkled in with a some instances of physical abuse when I was younger unfortunately.

I know our relationship wasn't a one way thing, but he did legitimately try to make things "okay" these past couple of years. Probably cause he knew he wasnt long for this world, and I blew him off.........and after everything he did I'm the one left here holding the bag feeling like the asshole

You cant change the past and hindsight is 20/20 as they say so accept what happened and do your best to move on. Try and remember the good times and keep their memory alive in your heart. If not fine just learn from the experience and grow from it if possible as hopefully your dad wouldnt want you to mope and feel bad for too long. Go and enjoy your life while you can as one day your journey too will end and like I already said you cant change the past so at that final moment you dont want to be filled with regrets of things unfinished or undone. Live life to the fullest for both you and your dad. Or dont only you can decide how to travel on the journey of your life.

This has been sappy advice from the local weirdo Mistere Man feel free to ignore their inane rambling and please watch your step as to not get any of the crap spewing from their so called mind on you.

For the record I lost my dad in December, and today I had to put down a dog I have had for 11 years just after spending a bunch trying to save him last week. Sorry if my post is strange I am not all here anymore.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and agree with everyone else keep the positive memories alive. Not the same as losing a father, but I lost my grandmother in December. I also just lost a dear family friend who was friends with my grandfather before my parents were born, and was like a grandfather to me, and my OTHER grandmother just found out she has cancer.

I say all of that is, Ive been reaching out to a lot of people recently. Friends etc Especially people I've held grudges against or just kinda dropped off on over the years. Not calling to ask for forgiveness or make it a drama, I keep the convo light but just let them know I care. Its amazing how so many people I thought didn't care about me really do. It's been incredibly freeing and it might help you with what youre going through, and it could be a great way to honor your dad.
