My Dad didn't approve of my "lifestyle" and that's putting it mildly. He wasn't going to be at the wedding and I thought I was OK with that. Tonight he had a heart attack and died almost soon after. He went quickly. 
I guess I figured we'd have time to work things out. I'm hurting right now and although I was extremely mad at my father for the way he treated me and expressed his hatred for all gays, I loved him on some level. On top of all that, if he hadn't died, my parents would have gotten a divorce. I miss my father and all the good times we shared before I came out 4 years ago. 
Oh no I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is so difficult especially since you weren't in a great place with him before it happened. You are in my thoughts and we are here if you need to talk.
oh my goodness my heart goes out to you. i know you must be going through a really rough time right now. i hope you get all the support and love you need from your partner and family.
I'm so sorry about all the pain you're feeling right now. :( My only advice is to take the time to write your dad a letter, and get your feelings out there on paper. Something about the process of writing a letter is really helpful, even though he'll never get to read it, it can be very healing and help you to work through your internal conflicts and come to some emotional resolutions. I wish you all the best as you grieve this loss over the next few months. Our thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry - that has to be insanely difficult. We're always here for you if you need to talk! (HUGS)!
I am really sorry for your loss that is a really hard situation.
We are here to talk if you need us!
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, hun! That is never easy! I am very sorry for your loss- but keep those good memories in mind! They'll stay with you forever!
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. I'm especially sorry that he passed away while the two of you had unfinished business. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that while he may not have agreed with your choices, I'm positive he still loved you as much as you loved him.
I am so so sorry for your loss. What a terrible situation. (((hugs)))
I'm so sorry for your loss! Yours seems to be such a difficult situation. I also recently lost a family member unexpectedly, and it was so hard for me. Hold tight and always remember the good times. That will help get you through.
I am really sorry for your loss, I bet your dad loved you very much and he probably wanted to make amends. Its the stupid pride that keeps people apart. I'll keep you in my prayers.
(((HUGS)))
I'm so sorry, Rosie. Whether or not he approved of your lifestyle choices, I am certain that your dad still truly loved you. If he didn't love you, your choices wouldn't have upset him (i.e. he wouldn't have cared what you did), if that makes sense.
I hope your wedding can incorporate an element of honoring him, because it's obvious how much you loved him as well!
I'm so sorry you are having to go through this painful loss. I'll say a prayer for you and hope that you can feel some peace. This must be incredibly difficult.
all of the other bees have offered such great advice so I am here with ((HUGS))... feel free to come here and mourn or if you just want a break from the "real world"
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I hope that during this time you can find comfort in all of those happy memories that you have. I know it's hard, but try not to dwell on the negative aspects of your relationship. It is obvious that you love him very much, and I'm positive that he loved you. hugs.
I'm so so sorry for your loss. You'll be in my thoughts and I hope that in time you can find comfort in your happy memories and healing through your grief.
(((HUGS)))
Oh my gosh, I am truly sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you and your family. I like what @jhphi suggested about writing a letter. I really think that might help.
You're in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope that you are able to find peace even though this is tough. I'm sorry for your loss.
I am so, so sorry for your loss. (((HUG))) I'm thinking of you.
oh honey, I just want to send you some ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))
I can't even imagine what you're going through right now - but I do hope you find some peace and know that on some level your father loved you too, just like daydreamwanderer said - if he didn't he wouldn't have been so emotional over your choices. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. It will take time but you will find peace. (((((((((HUGS))))))))))
I am so sorry this has happened! *hugs*
Praying for you and your family in this difficult time. I am sure he loved you despite the disagreement.
I'm so sorry! = (It's so hard to lose a loved one...and even more so during the holidays. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

I am very sorry for your tragic loss. Regardless if he felt differently about gay marriage, he loved you very much. I agree with another poster that may be writing a letter would be thereaputic. Lots of hugs and prayers!
Rosie, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know you must be in so much pain right now... but please hold on to the fact that your love and his love for each other transcend all else. I hope you have supportive friends/family who can help you work through this, and of course, lean on your partner!
Sending you lots of hugs and good thoughts!
I know how painful it is to lose a parent and I'm so sorry that you feel you were not on good terms with him. Surround yourself with you friends and family- they will help you through this difficut time. I'm sending you lots of hugs and prayer!
*Hugs* I'm so, so sorry. After all the fights, he was still your daddy. When you're ready, I think you should *talk* to him, and get all your feelings out- you shouldn't have to carry those around, and let him know you love him.
You're in my prayers!
(((HUGS))) So terribly sorry to hear this. You are in my thoughts and prayers. (((MORE HUGS)))
Oh my gosh. I'm so so sorry for your pain right now. We're all here for you, sending love. (((BIG HUGS)))
I'm so sorry he didn't have a chance to accept you for who you are. I am so sorry.
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. That is such a horrible thing to go through. I think it would really help if you "talked" to your dad and told him everything and how you felt. It would really help relieve a lot for you. You have to remember though, that even through all your differences and fights, you were still his daughter and he still loved you and he knows you loved him. We are all here for you though (as everyone has said!)
