Episode 108 - 40 Years of Grief... Not Quite What I Expected
Apr 25, 2018
April 24, 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of my dad's death... April 25 would have been my parents 54th wedding anniversary.
I thought today would be a very painful one for me. But the words of a priest honoring someone else's loved one would touch me in ways that I couldn't imagine. His words took the sting out of the pain.
I decided to homer my dad by hosting a Facebook live event in the Grief Resilience group where people could talk on and speak about their loved one if only for a minute to honor them and keep there memories alive! It was a great time and an amazing space. It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.
While I do hurt, the sting from his loss hurts a little less this year, all because of the king words of a pastor and the community of others who are grieving!
Dad, I love you and I miss you everyday.
Thanks to all those who reached out to me to check on me this month... it is greatly appreciated. And a special thanks to those who choose to share their own stories as a means of fighting through their grief and in some small way helping others.
I love you all.
