Condolences man and holy shit. You never have to apologize for talking to a community you're a part of. Yeah its for game but its also for what your posting.
 
Bro you're gonna be feeling it for a long time. You kinda have to be honest about how you feel and the fact that its a long term process. Even then you don't really get rid of it entirely, you just remember things in bittersweet ways.

@EdmundI'm so sorry man. 😭

You must remove this thought from your mind, lot of times life just take our people from us and there's nothing we can do about it 
 
You said your dad was intelligent at do often check ups, and that very recent one gave no indication of anything bad 
 
You could have done nothing, but actually you did something good, you was with him and gave him the chance to pass the last moments of his life doing something he enjoyed with somebody he loved 
 
Sadly life chosen that was his last day, and you was with him making it a good father-son moment, trust me if i tell you that rarely things are like that 
 
My condolences, stay strong 

I was late to read the details
 
Condolences man, I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. 

I have dealt with a few passings over the course of my life... Before I go into specifics, first I wanna say that you have my condolences and I'm praying that you and your family receive so much comfort and support. If there was a way for me to teleport to you, I'd give you a big hug and play some matches with you. Maybe we can play tomorrow evening? 
 
Anyway, my father was a very healthy guy as well. He loved me, my mom and my younger brother so much. He was our rock and a man among men. He was only 35 when he passed and even after all these years, it still doesn't make any sense. His sudden passing is something I've thought about pretty much every week of my life since I was 4. Some days are easy, anniversary days can be rough, but I get plenty of strength and joy to keep going from my Heavenly Father, my family, my wife and my friends.
 
My dad was my best friend even when I was just a toddler, but there was so much I needed from him as a boy that I had to learn life lessons the slow way (like until my late 30s). Fortunately you've had your father for years and that's a gift within itself. Legit bro, I'm here for you, coming from a guy that is very well acquainted with the loss of family.

One train of thought you have to let go of immediately is thinking that you were in a position that could have saved him. Grief is demoralizing and disheartening, but also a natural process people go through in situations like these. Combining it with blame, however, is self-destructive, particularly when said blame is unfounded and targeted towards oneself. From how you describe the situation, there's unfortunately nothing you could have done, or anyone else.
 
I know that's extremely easy to say and as someone who puts a lot of pressure on themselves for things of significantly less importance, I can understand how surpassing that will take a lot of effort. But it's the one major thing that will change your situation from feeling hopeless into the mental healing process you can go through together with your family and close friends. In time you'll also find that those little things that remind you of him are a gift, but you have to find your personal balance first. Until then it's maybe best to keep them in a mental drawer you can reopen whenever you are ready for it.
 
My condolences though – I hope someone else here or in your life can find the right words to help you through it.

Sorry for butting in out of nowhere, but has anyone dealt with a sudden and unexpected passing of a family member? I was watching the world cup with my dad and we were discussing the match, then i replied some messages on the phone, talked to dad some more and he dozed off during half time break. (Which is his usual thing to do)
 
Then he suddenly clenched his right fist and sounded like he was in pain for about 3 seconds, then his head drooped to the side and passed away immediately. My heart is completely broken. I witnessed all that and that scene is forever stuck in my mind. I'm a fighting game fan and I'm supposed to be looking forward to news of SF6 and Tekken 8 during TGA but all I can do is wonder what I could have done for my dad to save his life. It's been exactly 2 weeks and I'm still in a daze. I can't eat or sleep well. I can't focus on anything. My friends have been great emotional support but I'm at a point where I'm so broken and still in a state of shock I can't function. Dad had no serious illness and goes for medical checkups every 6 months (Blood tests, ECG etc). His tests results were always good. In fact he went for a full health checkup late October. 

I can't believe that I won't be able to see or talk to my dad ever again. I just don't know what to do. When I come back home and dad's not there anymore, or when I see things that I think my dad would like, it just breaks me that he won't be able to enjoy all these again.

Will his winning quote be "I am not impressed by your performance."? 

Is nothing new for SF6 going to be revealed at the Osaka exhibition? I was waiting so long for it and all we got are new posters. I was hoping for new trailers and news of an open beta. 
 
And where's Lord William btw? Suddenly remembered him.
