I'm praying for you. Its been 10 yrs since I lost Dad. It still hurts at times. Put the job behind you for now. After you get over your loss of your dad, go hunt new employment. Its too much to handle right now.

I was really in the dumps when I got online tonight with having just buried someone today that I've known for 45 years, which also means that his stables is going to be torn down that was my sanctuary for just as many years, plus having to say good-bye to all the people I grew to know and care for out there, as well. And then I see this post and my sorrow is paled in comparison. I know what it's like to loose a Dad having lost mine a year and a half ago, and then loosing a job on top of it? Ouch. My prayers go out to you. And I agree with what many others have said in this thread which is there is a reason for everything. So cry your eyes out for God made tears to wash away the sorrow ... for men too ... and share your sorrow and the truth with your family. Go through the five stages of grief, and listen to what God whispers to you to do next. My sympathy to your and yours.

> can this get any worse?
Yes.
I would not tell your kid about your job if you do not have to. Don't tell your kid about your father at bed time, I made that kind of mistake once. Do take him to the funeral.
Then do what us Irish do, look at photos, cry at the funeral, then afterwards eat, drink, and celebrate your father's good fortune to be at rest in heaven with God.
Your father did not die, he moved on and so will you.

Hank, my very excellent friend, I'm so sorry for your loss and misfortune. Celebrate dad's life, he deserves that. That's how my wife and I got through the loss of both sets of parents.
As for the job? To hell with them. Get another job. You strike me as a very smart and highly talented soul.
Be at peace my good friend. PM me if you need me.

Hank,
sorry about the loss. Thankfully you have several people to help you through it. Celebrate all the good times you had with your Dad, the great conversations as you got older.
Praying for you!
