All day I spent working my way through my email. You see, I’ve been beyond backed up since Daddy died. Each day I’d try to clear away some of the rubble but new mail kept coming in and the old stuff kept getting buried. I think I understand why postal workers go postal.
At any rate, I just made my way down to the last email my dad sent me. It was simply a link with the subject line, This is hard to believe. And now I can’t stop crying. It’s insane how incomplete I feel.
No, it’s not. You are dealing with this as well as can be expected and I for one am impressed at just how well that is. This will never be easy but it will in time get better. However, there will always be days when the void now in your life will appear out of the blue. Be it a month from now of several years, while you are awake or in your dreams. It will be rough and yes, it sucks, but you will get through it! You father may be gone but you are not alone. Hold tight to those that love you and share in both your grief and your wonderful memories of your dad. It helps a little and it’s far better then going it alone.
For what little it’s worth, I believe in you and know you will get through this and be stronger for it despite the heartache.
