Oh my. I can’t even imagine. Words don’t seem like enough, but it’s what we have…so my condolences.
Wow, what a tragedy. So sorry this happened to you and your family. Peace to you all.
I’m sorry for your loss, yancey. You and your family have my deepest sympathy.
What a horrible and shocking thing. I am so sorry that you lost your father, and in this way.
sorry.

I’m so sorry for your and your family’s loss, yancey. Please do keep coming here and talking about how you’re doing and your dad, if you find it helps you at all. We’re here for you.
What a horrible thing to happen. Praying for peace & strength to you in the days ahead. HUGS
Death is always shocking, even when being shocked is a weird reaction, but this death in this way has to be even more shocking than most.
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with it. The cottony feeling is protecting you right now, so don’t force yourself out of it any sooner than you have to.
I’m so so sorry.
Let me add my condolences as well. I’ll be sure to say a prayer for you, your dad and your family tonight. The next fee days are going to be hard, but you will get through them. Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to cry and turn to your family for the support you’ll need. And always remember that your father will always live on as long as you are alive and when you have children a part of him will be with them as well.
I wish we here could offer you more than words, I’m truly sorry that this had happened.
That’s terrible. Sorry for your loss. No time for good-byes or anything. At least he didn’t suffer.
The hardest thing for me is coming across something, wanting to share it with that person and remembering that it’s no longer possible.
Try to remember that you’re not alone: not only in the sense of having friends and family (and at least 30 people on this board) but especially insofar as not being the only one to lose a loved one in such dramatic circumstances. It just happens sometimes.
i’m so sorry. may his memory be eternal.
I’m so sorry for your loss, what a dreadful thing you have to deal with. As others have said, be kind to yourself and remember that you are not alone in your grief. If nothing else, you have a group of internet strangers to talk to if you need to .
So sorry for your loss. Expected death after an illness is one thing; sudden traumatic death is a whole other scene.
I’m sorry.
I am so sorry for your loss. Go easy on yourself and take your time. Cry, scream, shout or punch your pillow, let it out. When you are ready, talk about it, don’t keep it bottled up inside
I’m so sorry for your tragic and so unexpected loss.
There is no good way to lose a parent. Suddenly and unexpectedly? After a lengthy illness? Years of decline and frailty? They all suck huge, don’t waste time wishing it were some other way, it would be just as tragic and traumatic.
When you’re feeling up to it I hope you’ll come back and share some more things about how awesome your Dad was. We long to know more of him than just how he passed!
Take care of yourself, and your family, and if you should need to talk - we’re right here.
You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers!
Horrible. In my times of spirit/emotion hit by assaults of such titanic force I try to remember not to fight them. Almost observe the pain, which helps keep it from becoming overpowering suffering. The two are different.
Whatever you do is brave.
I’m so very, very sorry - you and your family will be in my thoughts.
I’m sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry.
