Hi
I am so very sorry for your loss. Dad's are so special, teaching us to ride our bikes, fly a kite or walking us down the aisle at our wedding.
I know you are feeling sorrow like nothing you've ever felt, it's physically painful. Who would believe
we could feel this awful? Just take it one day at a time, or one hour at a time if that's all you can do.
I know you're worried about your mom but take care of yourself too. Cling to each other, cry, yell,
whatever it takes. It's a journey no one wants to take but unfortunately we don't have a choice.
Pour out your heart here. Everyone understands and tries to help. It's still so fresh for you but know it does
get easier. My sister who died in April 2011 used to tell me about a saying she liked. It read "As we are crying
here on earth as someone is passing, the people waiting for them in heaven are smiling, saying here she comes."
I think of that and picture my mom and dad welcoming her with open arms. I still can't believe she's gone and
I miss her every minute of every day. I can't believe a year has gone by and I won't ever see her again.
Many people who I never would have believed had gone through the same thing have reached out to me.
I guess that's the silver lining if there is such a thing.
I hope you have a loving, supportive spouse who can help you along the way.
Terry
