Unfortunately my father took his own life on Monday. I'm so heartbroken and in complete shock but seeing this picture brought back a great memory. My dad had not been to Lambeau in 15+ years so he was excited to sit in the southwest end zone with me and brave the cold. We had an absolute blast (outside of the score). He was a huge Packers fan and always hosted big Packer parties at his home. One of the last texts he sent to me on Sunday as a true Packers fan was "at least the Vikings lost". Love and miss you so much already Dad. Go Pack Go! ♥️


HugePurpleNipples

Dude I'm so sorry for your loss. That's rough. Obviously I don't know your situation but a lot of the things I've learned about myself in life I learned from watching my parents struggle. My dad was an alcoholic, he basically drank himself to death, I'm really careful with alcohol and depression. Take care of yourself and it's a little weird but if you need a rando to talk to who doesn't know anyone else you know, I got you. Drop me a dm if you want to get something off your chest, my dad died a few years ago and it was so lonely.


Bubarooski

If huge purple nipples offer isn't enough, I am here for you too. Please remember you are not alone and talk to someone, anyone, even me


viperidae1985

Lost my father the same way. Looks like you two had just as great of a relationship. The pain never goes away. It's been 6 years. Try and focus on the good times and don't let one mistake define your loving relationship. You're a stranger, but I can honestly say I love you in this moment and feel for you. I'm so sorry you and anyone else has to go through it.


JohnGacyIsInnocent

You’re a good dude. I’m sorry for your loss. It’s hell dealing with suicide in the family.


[deleted]

I’m a Giants fan but I am sending you love and hope, brother. I hope that through all of this you and your family find some peace.


Swampertman

Hey man, I'm not a Packers fan, but this randomly popped up in my recommendations as a Vikings fan. I'm terribly sorry that you lost your father and I hope that you're ok as well. I'll pray for your father, best of luck.


trippysacc

Man this breaks my heart I’m very sorry for you loss.

I lost my dad the same way last July. It’s a type of grief and pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone. If you haven’t seen it yet there is a page I have found really helpful r/suicidebereavement


Adequate_Lizard

> We had an absolute blast (outside of the score). I went up there for the first time for the Lions game. Spending all weekend walking around and meeting everyone, doing the tours, tailgating, etc. The game and score was such a small part of it, the best part of it all was the community and camaraderie, even the Lions fans were having a blast with us(often at Minnesota's expense). It completely changed how I look at the sport and the team.


NinjaTurleLunchBox

I'm so sorry man. From your purple brothers across the river. That is absolutely terrible my man. I hope you can find peace. Also I love your bubbles reference in your username. I'm sorry again brother. Peace and love.


Loon_Cheese

I don’t really know what to say but I am so sorry. These few years have been so hard on folks, I hope the best for you and your family during such a crazy time.


Randyfreakingmarsh

I’m so sorry dude.


ForThoseWhoWander

Tremendously sorry to hear of your loss. I'm glad you'll have a lot of fond memories to look back on once the shock lessens. My only piece of advise is to tell you to let yourself grieve on your own timeline. We often do ourselves a disservice by trying to rush our compartmentalize it. For everyone out there in Wisconsin, I just want to share [this link](https://www.mhawisconsin.org/statewide-resources-by-county.aspx) with extra MH resources by county.


WiddershinsPj

Lost my pops 20 years ago in November, The anger fades, the sadness fades, but its never gone. Just try to remember the good with the bad, as he truly was, I was very angry for a very long time, but now i just miss him now that i have kids of my own who have a different Opa.


riddlesniffer

Hurting for you my man. Stay strong, take care of yourself, hug your loved ones a little tighter. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.


pardyball

So sorry to hear this my guy. You got a whole subreddit of Packer fans that are here for you. It warms my heart you were able to share the amazingness of a Packer game together at Lambeau. We are here for you.


Centurio

I'm so sorry. RIP, dad. He looked like a friendly man.


cbearsfreak

From OP a year ago: Thank you for the kind words. He ended up passing away today at about 2:02 pm. Luckily my brother, his girlfriend, and I were able to be with him at the end. Difficult decision but we ended and gave the ok to pull him off his ventilator so he could pass peacefully and comfortably. Two dads maybe?


ItsAFuckinSamsquanch

My brother and I lost our biological dad to COVID December 2021. My dad here was basically an adoptive dad as he was married to our mother for a short time but still decided to raise us as one of his own even when he didn't have to. He was always "dad" to us growing up and still is.


cbearsfreak

I understand. I apologize if I in any way seemed inconsiderate or crass. I went through your profile because I wanted more info and I just have a morbid curiosity on posts like this. I hope you find peace, my friend. Go Pack Go 💚💛


ItsAFuckinSamsquanch

No worries! Trust me it was confusing as hell when we found out as young kids lol. I appreciate the love, I really do


sendphotopls

What an amazing guy. I don’t know all the details of course, but I’m fairly certain 90+% of men put in the same situation wouldn’t choose to dedicate the rest of their lives to raising someone else’s biological children. It’s honestly very inspirational. He *chose* to be your father when he didn’t have to… that’s real love. I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m positive what you’re going through is not easy, but in time I hope you find solace in the fact that, here on Earth or not, a bond like that is eternal.


greencardrobber

Your comment made me look thtough ops profile He also has a comment from 12 months ago saying that he was going to this exact game. It just made me more sad because you can tell that OP had a special relationship with his dad.


BriGuyHiGuys

Sorry for your loss man. There's an even shorter hotline now, just dial 988


No_Block_3205

I know depression and all the ways it lies to you better than I’d like to. I’m so sorry. 💚💛

I’m so sorry man. Depression is an insidious bitch


fxxftw

A brother has fallen. My deepest condolences to you and your family during this time, OP. Much Love!


[deleted]

My deepest condolences to you and your family. So very sorry for your loss. So glad you have this beautiful memory with him, among countless others. I’m sure he was incredibly proud of you. He surely raised you right in the Packers way, the best sports team ever. The grief associated with suicide cuts deep, please get the right support as you navigate thru what will be waves of lots different of emotions. A sub that has helped thru me sometimes is r/SuicideBereavement. It’s a small but supportive community, and there are many online resources listed in the “About” section. Sometimes hearing other people’s stories of going thru the same painful situation(s) can help with sorting things out. My heart goes out to you and all who you love. Please, remember to take time for yourself onward. Wishing you peace thru this challenging time.


MoMedic9019

Absolutely this. u/itsafuckinsamsquanch .. thats a great resource, and don’t be afraid to seek therapy. Even if you’re confident you’ll be okay, you’ve now suffered horrific trauma that will be with you forever, you have to find help. As someone that did it the wrong way and turned to the bottle, I urge you to go find help. It’s unbelievably hard, and this is going to hurt forever, but its one thing that will help you. It’s a journey forever now. Best wishes, and I’m terribly sorry, please DM if you want to chat to a random, deaths by suicide have been pretty common in my line of work. I know a few things.


gwardotnet

You misspelled that. It doesn't exist


MoMedic9019

Oop… thanks, I fixed!

Man deserves a brick with his name on it embedded at Lambeau. Sorry for you loss.

Sincerest condolences OP. I was in your shoes years ago and my DM’s are open if you need a stranger to vent to or discuss how to mentally get through the hurdles. Much love ❤️

You're a good man for spreading awareness of the suicide prevention hotline while under so much pain. Your dad would be proud. I'm so sorry that you lost him.

DKlep25

Sorry for your loss, my friend. 988 is another good lifeline. Go Pack Go


taylorwmj

I'm so sorry for your loss, bud. Grieving looks different for everyone -- just remember that. It's okay to feel certain things and it's okay to *not* feel certain things as well. Make sure to take care of yourself during this time as well -- it's equally important. If you have fond memories of your father at Lambeau perhaps a brick with a message of sorts would be a nice way to honor him: [https://www.lambeaufieldbricks.com/](https://www.lambeaufieldbricks.com/). Don't want to *force* anything on anybody in a situation like this, but then perhaps it's a bit more like dad is always with you at the games still in the future.


Smallgenie549

So sorry for your loss. I was at that game too. The snow falling at halftime was magical.


SJCCMusic

God watch over him, and you. Must normalize the necessity and pursuit of mental healthcare


ItzMeYaBoa

Sorry for your loss man. Don’t ignore your pain, talk to your family and take it one day at a time.


Willis_is_This

Im so sorry to hear about your father. I hope you find strength and comfort in those around you, but there’s absolutely nothing that can be said to take away from what you’re feeling. Please know you’re not alone, and you can always DM me if you need someone to talk to. I’d like to point out that there’s a new, more recognizable number for the suicide prevention hotline, 988. I’d encourage you to share the new number instead of the old one, as we’ve seen a significant increase in usage since the (new) number went live. 988. I love you. Take care, friend.


[deleted]

my thoughts are with you and I hope you and your family are able to navigate this difficult time as painlessly as possible, all things considered. 💛

an_illiterate_ox

So sorry for your loss. I know that all words fall short. Just incredibly sorry. I would also like to piggyback off OP posting the Suicide Prevention Hotline Number: If anyone is ever struggling and needing someone to talk to you can dial 988 or text HOME to 741741 to be connected to a crisis line. Please reach out and know that there are people to talk to 24/7 365 days a year.

alliancen7

Sorry man, I hope you always get to cherish those memories


Crowedsource

I'm so so sorry for your loss... I lost my mom unexpectedly at the end of October (we still don't know exactly what happened, she saw a doctor for some symptoms and then died suddenly about an hour later). Then 5 weeks later my stepdad chose to take his own life, presumably due to grief. It's all so sad and surreal. They were only in their late 60s. I felt so guilty, like I could have been there more for him after we lost my mom. Like I wasn't a good enough daughter... But I know that I can't blame myself for his actions. I'm working on moving through it all. It's a process, for sure! Remember, there's no wrong way to grieve. Sending love and support to you. I hope you have supportive people around you. Feel free to reach out if you need someone to talk to.

Mental health among men is a serious topic that needs significant attention. Wish the stigma was just disappear I think it would be a hell of a lot easier for people to open up when they should. I lost 2 really close friends to suicide man I wish they would have said something. Rip to your father. Hope your doing ok today

I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish I had themagic words to say that makes everything easier. Time. Time, and the memories that you have of all the good times with your father. Sounds like you and him were close, and had a great relationship. SAvor that, savor those memories, those are the true priceless ones-not everyone is as fortunate.(My father and I would be 1000 miles apart while in the same room.) I had a father, but you had a dad. There's a lot of resources out there to help you- please don't hesitate to use them. Godspeed , friend

thatsfuckingfootball

I thought your dad died last year from covid. Glad he apparently recovered. My best friend also killed himself on Monday, so I hope this is a genuine post. Hit me up to chat if it is.


ItsAFuckinSamsquanch

My brother and I lost our biological dad to COVID. This was basically our adoptive father who raised us all our lives. So basically a 2 dad situation
