Popular Post ChapSmurf Posted December 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2018 Craig, I am so very sorry to hear this tragic news, for you and all of your family and your dad's friends. I would like to offer some words, if that is okay. You have reached out for help from your football family and if you continue to reach out for support during your time of grief, to whoever you feel comfortable sharing your feelings or emotions with, then I promise you, you will get through this. You will be changed forever, but you will get through this. I hope your family is as wise as you in seeking support when needed. I am sure they will find their own way. Another thing; it doesn't matter what you do, what you say, or how you feel. It's okay. It really is. And finally, I was told when I lost my wife just over 3 years ago to cancer, that grief is a path that you walk. It starts off very steep, with jagged rocks and sharp thorny bushes that cut you and slow you down. But you keep walking and soon the path becomes easier, less steep with less thorns cutting away at you. And then one day, you will be in wonderful grassy field, filled with sunshine and laughter and happiness. And then the next thing, you are back at the start of the steep, jagged path, being cut again. However this time, you know the journey and you can avoid some of the thorns. You arrive at the wonderful grassy field again, but quicker this time. And the whole thing starts again, and becomes easier and easier with each journey. That phrase really helped me to understand that whilst it feels like absolute sh!t right now, you will survive and you will get through this. It might seem impossible, but it isn't.

FinnishOwl Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Very sorry for your loss. I kept checking the thread to see if he was already found. I don't have experience of losing someone real close to me as few get there, so I cannot know how you feel but it must be devastating. I just hope that the question "Why" will get an answer. As a loving son and family, you all deserve that. My deepest condolences through these sad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 So sorry to hear Craig. I am feeling devastated for you. We're all friends on here, so if we can do anything to help, let your Owls family know. Try and stay strong for your family but also find time to grieve yourself. The only words of comfort I can offer after losing my own father, is that the pain lessens over time. My thoughts are with you pal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
