Oh man, I'm at the gym about to cry. Not because of my deadlifts but this call! Will be back when I leave here. Lol 😞

I wanted to cry when I heard Richie tell his story, I will pray for him! I know that the Lord Jesus hears me and he will help Richie get past this emotional pain.

1st letter- how much you miss them. 2nd letter- how mad you are. 3rd letter- How hopeful you are. The future forward. Smile. And let them go.

Jup I just knew Ritchie cried at the end if the phone call cause I could barely hold mine back. What a beautiful conversation.

We don’t “let them go”. We bring them with while we move forward. That’s perfectly acceptable & healthy. Grief doesn’t stop only if you “let them go”. Grief issues are addressed along the way through the years, but not because we “let them go”.

Dang boys i wasn’t expecting that question. I’m lucky to have my old man alive, but it got me thinking of the day. Parts of life as my old man would say.

@@flashthecorgi2053 Emotional for sure but who knows how proud our dads are in reality.

What a fantastic conversation, almost broke me down. It took me back to the days in highschool when I said I hated my father and I would prefer if he was not around. Now he is the person I look up to the most; as a father myself, I begin to understand his struggles and his mistakes and can put them in context (tools in his toolbox). No one in this world has done more for me than mom and dad. Forever my greatest life examples.

So blessed to have such an awesome Dad!❤ I miss mine so very much too. He taught me more than anyone in this world. He had a way of making everyone feel special.

That was beautiful, Dr. John. Those words were for me too in many ways. You’re a pro but most of all you care.

When my grandpa died my dad spoke at the funeral and at one point said 'i know my life will never be the same' and someday ill say the same thing at his funeral :'-(

It’s sadly true, then you eventually get to a point of smiling on his memory most of the time and some days even years down the road it’s still a gut punch. The most difficult part of growing older are the goodbyes.

It's true. Losing a parent is totally different. Even losing an estranged parent has its own complexities. There's something about losing dad. Both my husband and I have lost our dads and we often talk about how we wish they were around so that we could ask them questions.

This was beautiful. Dr. John handled this so well. ❤

Take on and be what you admired about him so that lives in the world. Create your children as positive members of society and help them become that!

Wow! Thank you! I'm writing a memoir about my life with my late husband and am pretty sure we both had undiagnosed autism and I find myself struggling to keep writing. So I think this letter writing is just what I need. Thank you, Dr. John.

Oh my goodness😢 family is so important I can feel your pain but we have to keep going and make them proud! thats what your dad would want!

Clinging to the memory of your dad and feeling sad is really a disservice to you little boy. He needs to be around her dad that’s happy and joyful and playful and loving . You can do that.

@LilyOfTheTower

Agreed! He needs to be present as a father and give his son the full experience of having a great dad, loving dad. By withdrawing and disengaging, he is robbing his son and im sure his father would want him to care for his son and not get consumed by in grief.

My dad made my life full of questions left unanswered and feeling unworthy until he almost went to Glory. He asked for a catch all forgiveness.The memories are still rough. And I wish I still had him to sort it out.

This really tore me up more than I was expecting.

This was one of the best sessions you've ever done.

WHOA the part about being brought up with financial insecurity and so making sure work is the most important thing, really opened my eyes to why my dad does some of things he does! Thanks for the perspective shift Dr Deloney

I feel your pain Richee. Mother's day for me is little more than a painful reminder that my mother not longer remembers who I am

Great job, Dr. John!

came here to say this 🔥

My relationship/memories with my dad are very complex but it's been 39 Father's Days and every one of them is difficult. It's been 27 Mother's Days and it's the same, not being able to celebrate them or really remember them is really hard and you just want to burrow in and hide. What's gone down isn't Richie's fault, family businesses are really difficult to deal with and the other members made the decision. All you can do is be the best father you can be, find your passion and support your family the way your dad did. Richie Jr.. is going to carry the torch of Richie Sr. and may make mistakes but he's going to succeed in what he puts his hand to. Cherish the time you have with your families and love them with everything you have in them.

18:00 - IT HELPS IMMENSELY to have a day of remembrance. My husband and I both lost our dads and the average day for our loss turned out to be around the Day of the Dead. So we have a permanent ofrenda in our home. His family members who passed are up on the ofrenda and my family members who passed are on the ofrenda. We make their favorite foods and pour their favorite drinks. We tell our favorite stories about them to our kids who never got to meet them. It's good for healing. And it's like they always come back and visit on that day. And it helps.

Made me cry!

This was a hard listen. I never had a dad but damn it must be tough turning into a man without yours anymore. God bless him.

You will never get over losing your day. I hope it gets easier soon.

I lost both of my parents before 30. I struggle to allow myself to be celebrated too. My dad, aggressive brain cancer. After diagnosis, i had 30 days with him. This was December 5th to January 6th 2016. My birthday is December 5th. Dad was December 2nd and mom December 1st. Mother's day fathers day and the whole holiday season. Ill be taking this advice. Mom passed away suddenly 10 days after my grandmother passed away. Ive been through it. And never allowed myself to be appreciated after all this. Maybe this year ill celebrate myself

I have more questions about this one. The caller seemed lost, and I wish more inquiry was made, more data collected from him. Why did the family close the business? Why didn't his dad prepare him to take it over at some point? Did anyone sense his helplessness? I think perhaps the elephant in the room was that the dad did not give him the tools he needed, to be equipped to take charge in his absence to continue the legacy. I hope that he takes whatever he was able to learn on his own about the business and starts his own.

This one got me hard my dad has been gone for 6 years and it hurts everyday. I don’t like to be celebrated either I just want peace.

Appears your dad’s business was his legacy…. He knew to love 💕 is to fight for you. His job , his purpose, was to fight for you and that was love ❤for him. I got it.

This guy views his dad as a real life super hero and he will never measure up to that image in his head. He has never realized his dad was a real life man with problems and struggles of his own.

I don’t “celebrate myself” either. “Special” days are excuses to take it easy. Never take it easy!
