re: Dealing with death of a parent

Lost my dad in January and just had my first birthday without him. On top of that, I really got messed up because I'm basically half the age my dad was when he died. Put me in a funk for a week or so. But that's what happens. The grief kind of hits you at random times. I think about him everyday but only get sad every so often. Usually when I'm holding my baby will I get really sad. Something about it just hits me hard.

But I think it's getting better. They say time heals all wounds but I think it more we learn to live with the grief. You have to process it and readjust your life to the loss. Some are better than others at this.
