My dad..."
Hello Dottie. I am sorry for your troubles. I can hear you missing your Dad and feeling the need to be strong for you Mom. Every day can be a challenge and the approach of anniversaries can be even harder, for some. Grief is something that does not go away because we don't have time for it or we have other responsibilities. Sooner or later it demands our attention. Its different for everyone and it sounds like you are grieving in your own way. We can feel overwhelmed or crazy with our thoughts and feelings. I always want just one more talk! I encourage you to take care of yourself while taking care of your Mom. Your needs are important and grief can come out sideways if we don't do the work. Talk to your Dad, write a letter, do whatever feels right to you. Just take some time to feel what you are feeling. Your journey is unique to you and the pain of loss looks different on each of us. Glad you found us, Alicia
