No question, just statement

My dad just died last Friday, Dec.10th.  I'm grieving so hard that I can't seem to get past the numb and shock of him not being just a phone call away.  I miss him so much!  I can't believe he's gone!  I'm hurting a lot.

I'm sorry for your loss.
I know how you're feeling. I lost my mom eight weeks ago and still go to her room looking for her, although I know she's not here anymore (she and dad live with hubby and myself). I suppose it's part of the process and will fade over time.
Lots of hugs.

The kicker is that we were only in each others lives for 2 years.  I was hoping and praying that he would at least hold on until after the holidays.  I am glad he's not hurting anymore.

Time is the only comfort. You will recover eventually, but will always miss him. For you to feel so badly he must have been a wonderful father. Think on how lucky you were. And how lucky he was to have such a loving daughter.

I am so sorry!  A parent is such a great loss, and the holidays don't help. What helped me was to write to my parents (I lost them both in a car accident when I was 25).  I would write how much I missed and loved them, hoping they could hear what I was writing.  Doing this is a form of release to us, and is very therapeutic.  I know it's so hard right now, but you know the biggest thing your dad wants for you is....happiness.
You need to grieve, cry and even be angry, this is normal.  Your dad will live forever in you, and is always with you.  You'll get through this, just be patient with yourself.  I wish you all the best and do take care of YOU!
