How do you tell a blind, deaf & dumb person that his father is dead?

It depends on his communication skills and level of understanding. Dumb doesn't mean stupid. Obviously it wouldn't be you to be the one to tell him, but someone close, who knows him, talks to him, and respects him. They do communicate quite well.

I am so sorry for your loss.  First of all, please know that your father's act had nothing to do with you.  \nA four year old is too young to be told about suicide.  It is difficult for them to grasp the concept of death at all.  Surely there was a memorial service or a funeral.  If the child did not attend have a private one.  Look through a family album and remember some good times with your father. Tell him that granddad passed away.  Tell him that means you won't see him again, but you will always love and miss him.  Tell him you can share memories about granddad anytime he wants.  That it is alright to cry about this and feel sad, but it is also alright to be happy and granddad would want him to remember the happy days they shared. \nLet this be something you believe yourself!  Life must go on.  Get some grief counseling for yourself and/or join a survivor's support group.  \nCelebrate Christmas with your child.  You don't want the season to be a dark memory for him.  It will cheer you up to do this.  Decorate your home together.  Remember you are building memories with your child.  \nAllow yourself some private time each day to mourn, but do gather your courage to celebrate with your child.\nPerhaps buy a Christmas card for your father.  Write in it all the feelings you have about your loss.  Seal it and put it away.  \nIf you celebrate Christmas you must have a belief in God.  Pray for your healing.  Release any guilt you may be feeling to God.  Pray for your father.  \nAgain, my sympathy and my prayers go out to you.  A tribute to your father would be living the fullest life you can.

Honey, my Daddy died a year ago in october.  It is so hard to get use to them actually being gone.  Dont call yourself a crappy daughter.  Remember him!  Love him! Cry laugh and do what ever you want to if it is helping you to grieve.  Talk about him as much as you need to.  Nothing can replace the father figure in your life so I think you still need to grieve.

The truth is you always include the answer to the 5 w's, "who, where, why, what, and when." Be descriptiive. Pretend the reader is blind, deaf, and dumb. Describe all five sensory items of sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Having done that, do it again. You tell me why I would like to know about this person. Did she sacrifice her dream? Give me all the D's. Was she disgraced, disillusioned, disatisfied, dejected, delayed, etc? I could go on and on.

How close is he to his Dad? My Dad died six months ago, and I find out when my brother called me. \n\nI don't think that you should wake him up. Let him get a good night's rest for tonight, because he probably won't have another for weeks.\n\nI'd really have to know the situation to know how to word this, but I suggest that you be honest. Your son will feel that he has been cheated in some way, and you do not want to add to that by deceiving him in any way. \n\nI know it's hard, but you really have to just tell him, and you are going to have a really hard time ahead of both of you. You also should have him go to the funeral, and encourage him to if he's scared. He will only have one chance to do this, and if he doesn't, he may regret it the rest of his life. Don't force it, but let him know that you don't want him to miss saying goodbye if he feels he needs to. I had to do this... I had to see my father dead, because I never would have believed it otherwise - and I'm 26, not 11.\n\nSome things you can tell him is that there are things that death can't take away. Death cannot take away the love that was between him and his father. Death cannot take away the memories he has. Once the situation settles a little and the first bit of shock is gone, find ways to remember his father - help him burn a CD that reminds him of his Dad. Make a scrapbook with him. Make a book for him with your memories of his Dad (the good ones). Find creative outlets for his emotions. Let him get angry, let him cry, and make sure that he maintains himself. \n\nPlease, please, please, concentrate on the good things about his Dad, and stay away from the bad things. My mom is still talking about all the things my Dad did wrong, and I could just strangle her. If you do this, he will see you as insecure and will turn his anger toward you. \n\nDo not accept at any point that he is over it. If you do, you may end up with a cery angry teen that starts to act out in a few years. Don't hound him, but every now and then, initiate a conversation about it and make sure he knows that you are there. \n\nEducate yourself about the grieving process and about depression and suicide warning signs. If your son appears to have a problem that goes beyond normal grieving, get him to a counselor. \n\nMy best wishes to you and your son. May his Dad watch over both of you.

In today's overly liberal society, they would suggest grief counseling, therapy, all sorts of stuff like that.  I think it's bullsh*t.  My father died last year, 4 months before his first grandson was born.  As painful as it was, I never forgot that in this life, all things happen for a reason, and everybody dies.  You will grieve.  And it will get better.  The pain you feel may seem extreme, but it's perfectly normal.  REAL pain is a kid with bone cancer, or a brain tumor.  Have faith, know he's in a better place, and celebrate his life rather than mourn for his loss.  Everybody dies sometime!

Do you or your mother know the date of his death -- or where he may have died?  What about any date of an obit notice?  Does your mother have his Social Security Number (if you received Survivor's Benefits from his death -- she SHOULD have this information).\n\nStart by asking the questions -- and have each of you put your heads together and write down what you know.  Then ... from that point, IF you have the SSN -- you could use the Social Security Death Indices to find information on his date of death -- and from there -- you can track down his death notice through most of the familiar Geneology Sites.

when my dad passes away the best thing that comforted me was just having someone to talk to who didnt say "how are you feeling" or "are you ok"...they knew i wasnt ok i had just lost my dad. tell your friend you are sorry about her dad and let your friend know you are there for them and then actually be there for them when they need you...

First... I am sorry for your loss... Second telling him at home with everyone there will be better but I will not be easy... At some level you father knows that he is dying... and that the end is near... So I would say.. be strong... be supportive... and be understanding... \n\nWith that there is no right way to tell him... but I would say just telling him is the best... Let him know the doctors have done all they can... that the sickness is to advance.. and that there is no medical cure for it... That at the illness current status it will overcome him... and that he will pass away.. don't tell him he will just fall asleep unless you are medicating him with heavy pain pills...\n\nOnce you tell him... be prepared for the 5 stages of death... Denial... anger... Bargaining... Depression... and finally acceptance... note that he may go through these steps fast slow... multiple times... and maybe each time he sees a family member or friend... also remember that he will not be the only one... You and all your family and friends will also go through these steps... \n\nAgain I am sorry for you loss... I hope this helps... in some way...

I understand your situation - grief can make you feel like this, but please don't try to communicate with your father.  At best, it is nonsense to believe that it is possible; at worst, you are liable to become unhealthily focused on this and that can lead to even greater upset.  Try to reconcile yourself to the idea that your father has gone and, if you are a religious person, have faith in the belief that you will see him again.  Grief counselling is a better idea than meddling with the supernatural.  Good luck.
