How do I cope with the death of my father?
One midnight around 0200 A.M. my father came to Chennai in a car and told just after a severe caughing he couldn't speak for 10 sec. He wanted to admit in a hospital immediately for that. He was admitted and all tests were carried out and found plaque at the junction of main arteries in the neck. No solutuon for that except an operation which had very poor success rate. He was treated with medicines only.Till the age of 63 he was never admitted in a hospital. After that incident hospital was very much dear to him. He kept on changing doctors and hospitals every time.Finally one day he fell in coma ,within three days,soul detached from his body.I knew he was going to die soon and preparing everybody for that incidence. But none were accepting the reality. It was 4 a.m when he lost his life and every body started crying only. Nobody was there to help me. I was doing alone all the arrangements.In the background ,I was thanking him for all the good things done in my life.He never scolded me except two or three occasions , that I used to treate it as a noble prize.Teaching Swimming etc, Encouraging me to buy things for the family /agriculture at the very young age itself.When I failed in the Pre University Exam, he might be the only father to suggest a tutorial college without scolding.When I asked him for the admission for the aviation course, he gladly agreed as if he was going to study.Even after my mother's objection to Pilot training,he coolly permitted me without her knowledge.He was encouraging and supporting me at every turning point in my life.Now coming back to the question.As a father he did his duties more than any father. He was proud of my achievements in my life. He was very much sick for four years and had more than enough trouble. It was his time to go.So I never grieved at that time. But problem was whose ever came and met me with sad mood got a shock because I had no feelings in my face. I was inside thanking him for all the good things done to me. Only once i cried for five minutes during that period.For my successful life till now ,my father was the root cause.Thank you Father.Thanks to Quora to express my feelings.
How can I console my best friend who has lost his mother, father and only sibling brother in the last 12 months?
Words are a powerful thing, both written and spoken, across the miles, they may be all that you can offer.None of us, whatever loss we have endured, can truly know how your friend feels. His loss is profound, it is overwhelming and it is 'his'.Loss is a deeply personal thing. Your friend has lost elements of his past and present in the loss of his parents. He has lost both of those, and elements of his future in the loss of his brother. They would have been old men together. How can anyone find the words to sympathise with that?You can't. No-one can.But you offer your words. You let him know that you are thinking about him:'I can't begin to understand how you feel, there are no words which I can say that will soothe your pain. But I wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you, that I am here for you.'If you offer your hand of friendship, if you offer him your support, you need to be sure that you are able to do it.A friend, 'Lucy' lost her brother a few years ago. I pondered long and hard about whether or, in fact, what to write.I included the words of Henry Scott Holland:Death is nothing at allDeath is nothing at all,I have only slipped awayinto the next room.I am I, and you are you;whatever we were to each other, that, we still are.Call me by my old familiar name,speak to me in the easy waywhich you always used,put no difference in your tone,wear no forced airof solemnity or sorrow.Laugh as we always laughedat the little jokes we shared together.Let my name ever bethe household word that it always was.Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it.Life means allthat it ever meant.It is the same as it ever was.There is unbroken continuity.Why should I be out of mindbecause I am out of sight?I am waiting for you,for an interval, somewhere very near,just around the corner.All is well.Henry Scott Holland1847 -1918She told me a while later that she had carried my letter with her for a long time.Your words will be different, there is no template for grief or sympathy. Merely finding some words which show that you know how massive this is in his life is important.Be his friend, be a true friend, that is all that you can do. And that is huge.
Short quotes for a tattoo about losing a loved one?
A human life is a story told by God. We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey. And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since and lost awhile. Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality. (I really like this one) Heaven is a place nearby, so there’s no need to say good bye. Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead, he is just - away. Every time you come to my mind, I realize I'm smiling. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal hope you get some ideas or like one of these be strong!

KING LEAR quote: need help finding one?
Im not sure, but perhaps this section could be of use to you for the Cordelia being proud of her father section. CORDELIA "If you hadn't been their father, your white hair would have inspired in them only compassion. Is this a face that should have endured the freezing winds or withstood the dreadful thunder or the terrible lightning? To stay awake all night like a guardsman—poor lost soul!—with only your thinning hair for a helmet? I would've let even my enemy's nastiest dog stay inside by the fireplace on that night, even if he had bit me. And were you then happy to find shelter on a bed of hay along with swine and homeless bums? Oh, oh! It's a wonder you didn't lose your life and your mind all at once."
