Loss of a Father
Tributes to Fathers
Have your recently experienced the loss of a father? You have come to the right place. While I am sorry for your loss and often wish death wasn’t a part of life, here you will find tributes written by others who have experienced the loss of a father.
Everyone deals with grief a bit differently. Some find it helpful to make memory books to keep the memories and stories alive. This is helpful both for your own healing and also for the younger generation learn about their roots. If you are creating a memory book, you can use the tribute form below to ask friends and family to contribute stories for the book. Simply create your own tribute. Then email the link or post it to Facebook asking people to post stories in the comments form. Then you will have a lot of stories in one place to start your memory book.
You can also join Memory-Of.com, the worlds largest community of online memorials
to create a comprehensive online memorial. They will allow you to post video, music and many photos and stories. By far the most wonderful feature of "Memory Of" is the ability to easily turn the memorial site into a memory book.
Others find they have a multitude of grief emotions to deal with. Our grief over a loved ones death is as varied as our relationships with our living relatives and friends. If you are struggling to understand your grief, you may find information on the Stages of Grief page or the Trauma Awareness and Healing page.

Looking for Ideas for Tributes for Fathers?
- Read the tributes of others.
- Think about the best times you had with your dad.
- Reflect on some of the things your dad taught you as a child
- Tell about the example your dad set for you in adult life
- Write what your learned from your dad about relating to people and family
- Write a letter to your dad about the things you would love to say to him if he were still here with you
One of the best tributes I have listened to was written by my uncle at the death of his dad, my grandfather. My grandfather was a farmer and my uncle used the working of the soil, planting, harvesting, and feeding of livestock as metaphors for how my grandfather related to people in life. Metaphors create beautiful pictures with words and help people understand something in a deeper way. So consider using a metaphor as part of your tribute to your father.
Write a tribute for your father.
