(((((phoenix))))) I can't tell you how sorry I am...words probably can't explain how hurt you feel right now, because it's to a depth beyond understanding. Give yourself time to grieve, and know that we're here for support and hugs. I truly am sorry to hear this

I am sorry for your loss. Someone who held your trust and your emotions in their hands, who we look to for guidance, such an important relationship that we often don't have with a parent or even a spouse. It's good that he was there for you and helped you when you needed him, and the gift he gave you is still there, even if he is not. Keep strong, but don't be afraid to mourn. Take care.

phoenix, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your T. I can imagine how awful that is for you. Like the loss of anyone close to you, it's helpful to mourn and let all your feelings out. Grieving can go on a long time. Please be patient with yourself.
Thanks for this!

Dear phoenix,

What an awful thing. You must feel all broken up and so alone! I know because it happened to me. My T of eight years suddenly dropped dead in 1986. I got a call from his wife that evening cancelling my appointment scheduled for the next day. Blew me away. For quite a long time. You do need to work on it with someone you trust. Another someone you trust. I wish you all the best. You WILL recover from this and you WILL do well and prosper. Take care.

I am so sorry to hear this, I can imagine it must be such an unbelievable shock to have been looking for his number and then to find out the unimaginaginable truth.
He must have cared about you a great deal to still contact you after he retired and i bet he's in heaven looking down and helping you as much as he can.
I try to tell myself how blessed I have been to have those people in my life at all and that i was part of there's, even if it was for a short while.
I know how hard grief is to deal with as my uncle recently passed away very suddenly, the shock alone can really feel bad.

I can only imagine what you are feeling.
Thanks for this!

Phoenix,

Oh, I'm so sorry that your t has passed away! I can only imagine how hard this must be for you! Your t obviously meant a great deal to you and played a huge role in your healing. Please be gentle with yourself as you grieve this loss. I hope that when the grief passes, you will have many meaningful and joyful memories to hang onto. Your t will always be in your heart.
Thanks for this!
