Today would have been my Dad’s 70th Birthday. He’ll be gone 12 years this November, which is mind-blowing. My dad died of complications (and I would argue negligence, but that lawsuit was never able to be substantiated) 3 days after gastric bypass surgery in November 2007. He struggled with his weight most of his adult life. When I was in HS he lost 100lbs and kept it off for years, but it slowly kept creeping back on and he wanted to take the surgery route. Losing him at such a young age (both him at 58 and me at 24) made me want to get a grip on my weight and wellness. It took about 2 years for me to prioritize my health and fitness after losing him - I had some dark days in the months after I lost him and a lot of life transitions, but I knew I needed to get a grip. Making a commitment myself to be healthy and fit has been something I’ve taken very seriously since January 2010 when I started this journey (and my Measuring Life blog). The last year I’ve been especially proud of my health and fitness as well as teaching fitness classes. . The nearly year since I started this Instagram and sharing with people I know in real life has been especially healing. Thank you for your support and encouragement it means a lot! . Love and miss you always Daddy. . #grief #fatherlessdaughters #weightlossjourney #fitnessmotivation #ww #wwfreestyle https://www.instagram.com/measuringlife/p/Bwry28hj5fc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7sveggjjlk1y

The Impact of Absent Fathers on Daughters: A Psychological Perspective

This blog explores the psychological impact of absent fathers on daughters, supported…

I Miss My Father Who Passed Away

Losing a father isn’t what the child even expected, initially you may feel nothing thinking it as a nightmare but when you come to know that it’s in real life, none can stop from bursting out tears. Finally starts grief, this uncomfortable feeling makes you enhance the cruel reality of life. But life isn’t for grief; you need to cope with this situation as soon as possible. Maybe your father has departed from this world today and he’s no more to advise you but you need to inherit his spirit in you so that your father remains in your heart, with you. I can understand how horrible a situation it can be in fact; I’d also to pass from this same problem. To be honest, it wasn’t so easy for me to accept the reality but the grief recovery podcast just changed my life, my grief within a few moments. I am hoping that this would help you too.

I don’t need a Hallmark holiday to remind me that I miss my Dad. I’m hyper aware that it’s been almost 13 years since I last hugged him or talked to him. . Over the last few years I appreciate the social acknowledgment that Mothers Day or Fathers Day can be hard for people for all the reasons listed above, reasons not listed, and combinations of them. . While we have no plans to have children, as an adult in my late 30s I have many friends struggling with fertility. I also have more friends and peers joining the dead parents club. It all sucks. . If today isn’t all rainbows and butterflies for you either, I see you. I hope you do something for yourself today. I’m snuggling with the dog watching 90 Day Fiancé! . #deaddadsclub #parentloss #fatherlessdaughters #grief #fathersday https://www.instagram.com/p/CBs_AqaBn1U/?igshid=d5lus4zvpmzp

I’m not sure I’ve ever been in a space with such beautiful vulnerability. . Grief is real and it’s forever. If you lost a parent 19 years ago or 3 weeks ago we know a similar pain. Everyone’s grief journey is so unique and personal, but the connection between people who know the loss of a parent can bond you like none other. . For people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s there’s a lot of assumptions that you have two surviving parents. For me, sometimes difficult to speak up at times when that assumption is made. Having a dead parent changes you and it’s impossible to explain it to others who don’t know. . My heart is so full today 💗 . #parentloss #deaddadsclub #fatherlessdaughters #motherlessdaughters #deadmomsclub #grief #griefjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/CARJrQ1Bfvz/?igshid=15itnh9ub5afj
