My dad passed away Nov 16 2005 from a cerebral hemorage stroke. I never got to see him alive that awful morning to tell him one more time that I love im. I know how you feel and I know the pain that comes from losing a loved one to a stroke. There are no good byes or time for anything once it happens. My dad went in the ER on Nov 16 and by the time we arrived he was unresponsive (I hate that word) On Nov 17 the dr recommended we take him off life support because he was not going to wake up. 4 days later (the monday before thanksgiving) we put to rest the best man in the world that stood 10 feet tall in my eyes. I was so upset to say the least. I was mad at every dr and everybody because my dad died. Now it is 11 days before the one year mark and the pain is still unbearable. I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone. I looked all over the internet, library, for info on this type of stroke. I have visited many grieving forums but your story was like I was reliving that terrible day again. I can relate to you and what you went through. We will never be far apart from our dads because the consume our hearts everyday. I wish for you and your family nothing but true blessings and whatever happiness you feel comfortable with to come your way. Sorry for babbling, But your story made me realize that I am not the only one to go through it. Best wishes JOZ
