Actually today is better. I got a nap finally! My headache is starting to go away! I feel like things might just get better. My negative outlook is starting to go away too.
Now that it has been over a week since my DAD died, I can actually see that maybe I can & will get through this w/o any major problems. I am not going to let myself fall apart.
With all the support I have received recently, phone calls, cards etc. I have realized that you can go through something as difficult as death w/ the help of friends! I am also relying on my HP a lot. I believe that he has carried me through this time. I am so grateful that I have the support but really when it comes right down to it, God is always there when it seems that I feel all alone.
My family will be down in CA hopefully celebrating my father's life tomorrow at 3pm PST. I hope I can be a part of it in some way. I know that I can & will feel his prescence that day. His memory will never leave me & I will move on. I just know that I need to grieve for awhile as I have for the past week. It will take time for me to get through I think. Each person goes through it in different timing--I mean it takes as long as it takes I guess.
That is all for me right now. I will probably be on here on Friday earlier in the day. I hope that I have a good report & a good nights' sleep tonight. I need some SLEEP!
Kathleen, I am so sorry for you Fathers loss. It takes some time to get through the grief, but it Does happen. Bless your heart and I thank God that He has put people to support and love on you through this. You are probably right, that He is carrying you right now. CA is my home state, I am in the midwest now. I will be thinking of and praying for All of you tomorrow. God Bless you and keep you throughout this. His memory will live on forever within you, because he Is a part of you! Blessings, Linda
