Dude, that's just awful man. Nevermind about the league, take care of what you need to, and take your time. I think it's safe to say your team is safe, so don't even worry about the league right now, worry about your family.

Sorry to hear that man. Personally, I'm surprised you're on here only after 2 hours. It would take days for myself to get on the internet as it just wouldn't be important compared to a situation like this.

It would take days for myself to get on the internet as it just wouldn't be important compared to a situation like this. Still, I knew this day would come for the past 26 months, so i've also had time through my journy, right now im just trying to keep my mind off it as fucking hard as it is.

Well it's never easy to deal with death when it comes. Even though you knew that someday your father will die when it happens it's unexpected still. I know from when my grandpa died, I also knew he was dying but it came as a sudden surprise when it happened.
I don't think you should take your mind off it. You might as well just let out your emotions now rather than keep them in. There's no shame in it. It's just too hard of a thing to take your mind off of.

Don't even worry about this, you have bigger issues. Take all the time you need to be with your family and get all matters in order. I'm sure you know that whatever you need, we are all here for you. I send my deepest condolences to you and your loved ones.

Isles man, it's hard to put in words how bad I feel, and I know many other probably feel the same. Take as much time as you need.

I feel your pain man, my dad passed away from cancer three years ago now... I know it seems hard to believe now but i know from experience that a day will come when the pain dies down and you can just focus on all the great memories and times you and your dad shared... Take all the time you need and don't be afraid to vent/talk about your feelings to people, that was the mistake i made and bottling all your emotions up is NOT healthy. Good luck to you bro, I'm praying for you and your family
