re: Dealing with death of a parent

Oh man I'm sorry to hear you going through this. Something that helped me was to just accept the feeling of it and let it come and not fight it. I noticed that feeling would get shorter and shorter and then eventually I could rationalize and say, hey it was time for my folks to go. That's life. Honestly brother, it's a lot better than covering it up with a bottle all the time. Prayers for you, my friend!
