Totally sad and beautiful <3 fierce daddy heart

my eyes are leaking but this one made me laugh out loud. I am so sorry for his loss but also happy that he has his daughter. The wife in the drawing is so cool

14 Years. Some days it's still hard to process. It took me the first 4 years to really learn, that she will never come through the door again. #widowerlife #cancersucks

A little over 12 years. I still smell his cologne sometimes, and I know there isn't a bottle of English Leather anywhere near, or another human in the house. It happens. I say "I still miss you too" and it fades.

Losing a loved one is so f*cking hard. My brother, I was so close to him, and he died very unexpectedly. I cried for YEARS after. I still do when something reminds me of him.

"I have so much to tell you..." Totally get this.

...and that's why I am avoiding women and joined ISIS.

This one makes me tear up.

This one got me. I can't imagine the grief and the strength this man has. God bless him

Life...you never know when, gotta remember and just smile at whatever comes.

how amazing

So sad, bless him

I am so very sorry for your loss. I would feel exactly the same way. :(

After we lost my dad to cancer a few years ago, mom has not been able to sleep in the bed anymore...she only sleeps on the couch. This breaks my heart.

To hear your soft breath, feel the warm air on my ear, these are things I miss most Your hair tangled in my hand, your arm across my chest, yo dark lashes on your alabaster cheeks, looking at our girl, reminds me of you she looks just like you! One day, we will sit and hold each other as I tell you about our life, after you went. I know you watch us, love us and... miss us, and we? Well, you are always with us And will never be sorry for missing what could have been. KLL 2018

Dear god that's heart breaking..

that''s the hardest one... hear the kids missing mommy...

Youth are resilient, they are stronger than we are sometimes

you are an amazing dad to your beautiful brave children

Oké, I m crying for You. How are You now?

My children lost their father at age 5 and 7. I can relate. These are fantastic!

broke my heart .... :(

oh dear.... :(

This one hit me hard.

this is so tragic - i understand the pain my beautiful husband passed away at twenty five years of age my son was 6 months old i truly feel your pain just wonderful how you are trying to deal with this situation can hardly type cor crying take care

When I saw the title I thought "oh no, another Sad Panda post." I couldn't look away though, and of course I'm crying for the family, especially for the kids. If only I could magic their mother back... And all because of sepsis - if only they'd pinged it a little earlier, there'd almost certainly have been a different outcome. I know now what superpower I'd want - to be able to make the pain better for people who've had to suffer too much through fate's fickleness.

Boy it does! it knocks you off your feet sometimes. a horrible rush of pain!

Poor man

grief cerainly is it creeps us on us when least expected

When you lose family you are close with, you know what this means. You don't know what triggers grief: a song, a smell, a color.

Wow, she'd be proud!

she is, are you not aware she is always there for you?

I love how he shows her in his comics. Just because they aren't here in body, doesn't mean they aren't here in spirit.

Girls

Scattering ashes around a tree, brings her to you through a living monument!!

it will come so slowly watching your children you had with your lovely wife will fill you with so much pride - she will be looking down and warching

I wondered if the doctors ran every possible test available to diagnose sepsis. Sepsis has been around for a long time; combat medics know about it, and how to test for it, and how to catch it early and treat it. I am a bit amazed that the medical doctors this woman saw did not run every test. They missed something. Sepsis is treatable if caught early enough and aggressive treatment started. A friend developed Sepsis in a clinic in Mexico; she was in a lot of pain, went to a doctor here, and Sepsis was found. The infection left her sterile, but not dead. There is a missing part in this story.

If you can start to feel more positive then you are winning. There's no rush.

Its amazing that he still has stuff like that to remember her even better

my heart still breaks with certain memories after 59 years - you cope but a part of her will be with you always

You are a wonderful human being , God bless you and your daughter .

I have to stop here. My heart can't take this sad/beautiful/amazing story. My blessings to your sweet family. Xoxoxoxo

I know you can do it!

she is watching over you.......

She will always be with you.

What a great kid.

This is just so sad, and now I’m all depressed in guitar class 😞

Just move away from that glass of wine, I had some bad experiences.

Im crying reading all this

My mother died when I was 7 and my sister was 10. This picture reminds me a lot of the time after her being gone. That‘s 26 years ago now... it gets better of course, but there will always be an empty spot in my heart...

Cry as much as you can and then all go to bed together. Tomorrow will be a tiny bit better.
