Now that the day has passed, I can tell you that my heart had made blood rain yesterday; my father had gone 4 months ago...today my inner and secret garden blossoms. Perhaps...there's...somewhere...some place that he's ok
J, I'm sorry about your dad. I understand from your blog that he died from complications after a surgery. An unexpected death.
While death is never easy to face, I think an unexpected death can be harder to bear.
My father shot himself 18 years ago, very shocking and very hard to reconcile.
Over time I have adjusted. His sudden, shocking death may have made my mom's recent death from cancer a little easier to bear.
I'm not happy about either one dying, not happy to be on my own, but it's an inevitable fact of life.
We have to pick up the pieces and go on. Our parents aren't suffering anymore. We are.
I try to take comfort in the little things that remind me of them. I let myself believe that these little things are signs from the other side. Hellos from them to me. Perhaps it's possible they see and watch over us though we don't know absolutely. They would want us to be happy and not worry for them, I'm sure.
Take care of yourself,your dad would want you to be well and as happy as possible. Josie
Hey fellow bloggers.
It started out a little something like this. With the notion that I had something to get out. If we all just wrote a little something every day, perhaps our houses wouldn't have to be made of straw.
We all have incredible stories to tell.
Epics unbelievable to anyone but ourselves.
