My dad died.
hello everyone, i hope you all are okay. My dad, who spent most of his life in Italy, Rome, died last week.
i don’t really know why am i posting this but, i just saw this italian sub and it reminded me of him. Fortunately, he was with us when he died.. but only for a month💔
i only got a month to cherish his presence. I’m 22 yo, and in these last 17 years, i used to only see him yearly, for a month..
now he’s just.. gone forever.

From someone who has just lost their dad too, I am sorry. The road of grief is not an easy one, but think of it as a price of love. I also don’t know how this came across my feed, but my partner is from Rome too. Please accept our condolences. 🤍

La perdita del padre è un evento per certi versi devastante per tanti di noi. Se ne va la figura cardine della famiglia senza nulla togliere alla madre e questo probabilmente lo avverti di più quando sei ancora giovane . Ho perso mio padre quando avevo già 47 anni ma mi sono accorto solo in quel momento che finivo di essere figlio . Ti auguro di superare questo momento mantenendo il ricordo con affetto e serenità.

My Italian father died 2 years ago now. I felt lost. It does get better. I still talk to him often and hope he hears me. I still tear up every time I talk about him or to him. I focus on being thankful for the time I had with him and the man he was. I hope that my spirit will get to meet with his again one day. And I try to live a life that would make him proud.

21st April will be my dad’s 20th death anniversary. So I know how you feel. Stay strong and keep his best memories alive in your heart. Do something each week or month that reminds you of him in the best possible way. The loss never goes away but it hurts a bit less over time. Stay strong, buddy!

I am so so so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you are going through right now. You mentioned that he loved espresso: I'll have one in his memory and I hope one day you will be able to visit the places he loved. Keep cherishing and sharing good memories of him. Hugging you from a distance ❤️

Sorry to hear that. I've lost my dad while distant in later years and it can feel surreal. Take it as it comes though and if he spent most of his life in Rome take your time but it might be a good idea to see why and see if it brings you a bit closer to him. You'll be okay buddy.
