I wanted to give a thank you for everyone that gave their condoleances and best wishes and i wish i could reply to everyone, especially those that shared their story about having lost a loved one (recently) too i wanted to give my condoleances back too, a hug and hope they find the strength to get through these times too.

Normally where i could just sit on my butt i now became "the man of the house" dealing with phone calls, cancelilng subscriptions, groceries, sweeping the driveway after our ISP opened it up.
Barely had time to sit and perhaps for it to really all sink in yet, somehow it still feels a bit unreal all, but even when he was alive days gone by when we didn't even speak, so maybe that's also still partly in my system, thinking he might still be just in the room across, the first few mornings i woke up i always thought it was some bad dream, when it wasn't.
Don't hold grudges or anything thinking maybe you will make up someday, or don't miss out on saying i love you to someone near you thinking it will come one day because it can all be too late the next.

But also just a thank you for being a wonderful community again, there were times were it all went a little bit downhill, and i was afraid it wouldn't return anymore, but it really eXceeded my expectations, i see new friendly people, people that pick up doing events again, from puzzles to crypto ones to others.

Thank you and nope nothing here this time. ;)

... damn, i know how you feel, i know atleast three who lost their father ... they are in the exact same boat, one even had to move because they couldn't afford their house anymore, the other one had to sell everything from his father stuff (he was a model railroad collector) and the third one ... well he got even to manage his attorney because his dad got run over ... well, i'm not really good at speaking about sensible topics, i try atleast to let them say what they want espacially at dark times for them ... so stay strong and enjoy the time with your family!

Yeah i really know how they feel too and if something would ever happen to my mother i could really just end up on the streets, became 50% more chance now, especially because of the housing crisis (we can't build, hard to rent). and i wouldn't survive that. But for now atleast we can remain in the same house fortunately because my dad always looked ahead, he even put aside money for the creamation not to leave us with unexpected costs.
Shockingly i also know someone from steam slightly older even then me, who also lives with his mother (very volatile situation) and he even says he hopes he dies (bad health too) before that even happens.

It's the intention/thoughts that cound and appreciated, thank you man.

Since you are a beer man, a bear hug.

Same as with the youtube puzzle, sometimes it's more about what you don't see then what you do see. ;)
Or some can blatantly "cheat" with the right tools.

But thank you. :) and happy cake day.

I never use any tools ^^

Thank you for congratulations. If you feel sad, you can try my jigi's. They are both cute and with a space cat. Your events always inspire and delight me, that's why I added you to the whitelist long ago and always read your topics. Thank you for them, I really appreciate it.

I think you will be pleased to know that there are people you make happy.

Well it's perfectly solvable though also without tools offcourse. :)

Thank you, that is very nice to hear and really means a lot to me, and the picture certainly is cute but i never been a person of patience and usually 200 pieces would been my limit maybe on a handful of occasions i done more perhaps. :p
I got some wins here, got both Witchaven's from a friend and spend over 100 euro on a bunch of games in the sale (really not smart perhaps but i thought with recent stuff i would just treat myself and get some distraction that way).
Did not know i would get a healthcare bill of 200 today though, normally it's smaller amounts).But i should invest some time in that. ;)
Haven't even had much time to play something this week, when i got a spare moment i usually fall asleep (last night i had 2 hours).

Hug.

You know, I also can't play anything for 5 days, I just don't have the desire and the right mood... And thinking about you - I can't even imagine this, honey =( I'm so sorry... And I don't know what to say. I just go through it with you, as with a friend.
My jigi's - yes, they are big. But they can distract you a little. It usually helps me to collect my thoughts and get distracted when someone give me a puzzle for 300-400 pieces =)
And sleeping is very important and necessary! I understand that it is difficult for you to force yourself, but maybe a mild sedative or valerian will help?

You are a sweet and very kind person, any partner / friend should be lucky with you.

To each their own, some people like sudoku's or knit. :p I still wanna tackle pixel puzzles ultimate someday but i believe there are some 1000 pieces puzzles, i just shutter to think about it.

Like i replied here https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/8G6P94w i seem to be almost immune to medicine (i had oxazepam, xanax, now temazepam) let alone natural stuff like valerian, i also tried CBD oil.
To be very honest, i knew my dad had pain killers, turned out to be oxycodin, which apparently could be as addictive as heroine, i tried one and it didn't do anything either, and therefor i could also let it go, today i got something new today for sleeping, but not holding my hopes up.
But you can get as many pills and even fall asleep but when you get neighbours (that are early birds) and you yourself are a night person too, it's a bad mix you just can't do much about it (except move..).

Brohug and belated condolences. :(

This feeling that it's not real is normal and it'll go away eventually; your mind needs time to process the whole package, the changes and the grief and all the stages until you reach acceptance. For now, you should take that time, focus on the problems you actually have to solve and on the people who are sharing that grief with you; don't worry about the rest, as it'll sort itself in due time. Okay?

Thank you.

The problems were already a lot (main thing being finding my own place and getting a job but we got a major housing shortage and we can't build because of EU polution rules and with corona lesser jobs), my health and then the whole thing with my dad came on top of that, it's very much to deal with when you don't even got a clue yet how to solve any of those.
I actually got this shrink a few months which i only talked to on the phone (which is kinda weird) that prescribes me meds, but nothing works, and i tried a lot like i feel i am almost immune to medicine, can't smoke or take alcohol either where others can find some relieve in it, so have to do it all "natural" and it isn't always that easy.

Brohug.

I remember being in that state of rawness... expecting my dad to walk through the door at Christmas time. Considering how young I was at the time, I never appreciated everything my parents did until I got older. It doesn't help after finding out last night that we're about to let go of another dad soon. Very, very soon. Although he's had a long, good life where he has lived longer than the doctors gave him credit for, I am actually rather happy for him that he's finally moving on to his next life's journey.

How young were you? It's hard at any age, but can imagine it even being harder when you are young, not even gotten the chance to really know them and appreciate them.

Sorry to hear about the other dad, you are right to say those words, it's not an end, it's just a next life's journey.

I was in my late teens when my dad passed away suddenly from a heart aneurysm. I feel it affected my younger brothers the most because they were hitting that age where having a father figure is critical in any child's life. It wasn't until I had kids of my own did I realize what my parents actually did - despite my arrogance and rebelliousness in earlier years. Needless to say, no parent is perfect... but they are just as integral as our peers as to what kind of adults we will become.

If you ever need to talk, feel free to contact me on Steam.

It's been almost 8 months since I lost my father and it's still hard to accept. But acceptance takes time and it's natural, so you should tackle everything one step at a time, as much as possible, without overburdening yourself. Stay strong!
