My dad passed away early this morning. I am stuck out at my college apartment, and can't get back to my family today. I have nothing to do but sit, answer the phone and try and pass the time. I made my father a gravestone in my hardcore world. I placed it on a hill facing out over the ocean facing west, so he can watch the sun set. I know it is stupid, but it is giving me a place to be with him again.

It’s not stupid at all, we all grieve differently, this way he’s cemented in your world forever, and you can always visit whenever you like
Hey, don’t ever let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do to grieve. It’s okay to do things like this, because as long as it helps in some way, it’s okay.
Hope everything goes good for you in life, and I wish you and your family the best of luck.
I’m so sorry this happened to you.
Not stupid at all brother. You always think there will be more time. So sorry for your loss
don’t call it stupid. sometimes you have to channel grief into other things, and if this is your way of doing it, that’s fine. there’s nothing wrong with it. sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. Honoring your father in your chosen way isn’t stupid at all.
It ain’t stupid bro, that’s just how you grieve and we (YES WE, THE COMMUNITY) respects it.
Sending condolences and hope you recover from the problems or anything that’s bothering you lately and yeah what a nice & sentimental build dawg, shaders being the cherry on top is valid.
I also unexpectedly lost my father young. Just sending you love and condolences. It seems impossible now but I promise it will get better. He loved you.
my condolences man
My sincere condolences for your loss. This is a very fitting and moving tribute. Definitely not stupid. It’s called grieving and your build is superb on so many levels.
Not stupid at all. I am sorry for your loss.
We all need an anchor in times like these. You and your dad have this. I can’t think of anything kinder than this. Sending you love from Texas.
Not stupid at all
We all grieve differently
Wishing you a quick recovery
add some gold to it
I’ve also done that. I have a gravestone for my dad and brother on the realm I play on.
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s not stupid. Plant a blue orchid from me.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I lost my uncle a week ago. This was a very thoughtful gesture to have done for your dad.
It’s beautiful, I’m sure your dad loves it.
It’s not stupid at all, it’s incredibly respectful. I’m very sorry for your loss and may your father rest in peace. Losing a parent is super hard and you do whatever you need to do to help yourself feel better. Your dad would be and still is proud of you for doing this for him. Take care of yourself my friend. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
I was just thinking about doing this for my mommy who passed away 2 years ago. I think it’s really sweet. It hurts me that I feel like I don’t get to share the things I love with her anymore, so it’s nice to have ways to feel like I can still make her a part of my life, and I know she watches every second. I love and miss you lots mommy ❤️💔
It has value to you, that makes it special. Don’t let those opinions creep in and make you doubt yourself. Wishing you and your family the best.
Uh oh… reddit mods are gonna make a repeat of last time
I’m sorry for your loss, I’m sure he was a wonderful man 🙂
That is beautiful, so sorry to hear
Im sorry for your loss. This is not stupid, you just made a memorial about your dad, it’s all up to you
may your father rest in peace and enjoy the sunsets
I’m so sorry for your loss, this is a really sweet memorial. We grieve because we so deeply love those who are lost, you clearly cared about your dad so much. Nothing is dumb in the grieving process if it helps you. Good luck man, I’m rooting for you.
Everyone grieves, you did it while being safe, not endangering anyone, respecting yourself and your dad all while doing what you like.
I don’t call this “stupid”, my condolences.
May he rest in peace and no it is not stupid
Sending hugs friend
Rest in peace, sorry to hear it buddy
That’s beautiful man. Life is how you interpret it, and you seem to be doing a great job. Keep your head up, I’m sure your dad is proud of you.
Sorry to hear about your dad. As a dad myself I would love this.
This is a beautiful dedication to your father that came from the heart. May you find some comfort in your work, and may your father’s memory be a blessing.
I really appreciate everyone’s condolences and support. I am at my apartment, and I didnt have much to do besides read, study or play a game. This felt like the most meaningful thing I can do at the moment. His health has been deteriorating for a while, (liver failure). He never was much of a gamer, I think the most complex game he ever played was Super Mario Bros or Wii Sports. But I am glad that I have a place to feel close with him in my favorite game. I am stuck out at my college till tomorrow, so I am just trying to get by. I’m trying to make the area nice, adding trees and maybe a pond or something. When I was building the first tree, there was a chicken that laid an egg, which i through down next to my dad and I got a chick, which I named after him, Joseph
