    sometimes its easier to talk about my dad like he's not dead. :(

    • I released my dads ashes off an island where I go spear fishing in the mornings, (he was a bad ass spear fisherman) I talk as if he hears me when i huntmoldero
    • like a crazy personmoldero
    • if reincarnation exists and he came back as a fish in that area, I probably killed him and ate himmoldero

    • I find myself using the present tense when I talk about him because I don't want to trigger myself while explaining that he's dead.shellie
    • My dad died 6 years ago and I still can't talk about him or look at a photo without crying. :(Melanie
    • It never goes away, just be prepared to one day have a trigger reminder and your heart breaks all of the sudden.BonSeff
    • But also know your were always loved. And hold that feeling.BonSeff
    • I talked to my dad on the phone the day after he died. I’m still not sure if it was a waking dream or not. Middle of the day, phone rings and it’s him.Gnash
    • I knew he was dead while I was talking to him. I’m still processing that conversation all these years laterGnash
    • I have to think about it in small packets - if I ponder the whole talk at once I think I’d meltGnash

    • Whatever works, Shellie. 15 years later and I'm better at accepting it, but I still have those moments of talking to an empty seat.bezoar
