Dead Dad Quotes
If you’re wrestling with the void left by a dead dad, these six quotes lay out raw feelings and artistic takes that echo loss. One voice recalls a mother keeping his slippers warm; another praises a sculpture that shrinks the body to a third. For broader perspectives on grief and family, see the “loss” and “parental relationships” pages.

Even a drunk dad, even an asshole, was better than a dead dad, which shouldn't reflect on you but did, and left a cannon hole in your heart. [p. 121]” quote by Anne Lamott](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e6b/anne-lamott-188_little-girl_rosie-had-been-a-little-girl-with-a-dead_1756634.jpg)
