Do you do also feel like after day 1 it’s downhill from there? That’s how I felt today. Suddenly it feels like I am knee-deep in December and Christmas is almost upon me and the year is virtually over and and and. Suddenly it’s all so overwhelming and I feel peopled out already. That being said, I have lots to be grateful for though.
I spent most of my day with my son. It felt like old times. Pre-covid. It feel like he was a little kid again. I am so grateful that we had the time together. He lost his dad 3 weeks ago and today, for the first time, he shared some of memories of his dad with me. I was so glad he confided in me finally. It eventually got too much for him though and he clammed up on me in the evening again. I left him to just process the emotions he was feeling. I am so grateful for him. I am grateful for our bond. I am grateful for his trust and his love. I pray that God will give me the strength and wisdom to support him through this very tough period in his life and to help him navigate it.
Thank you Lord for my son.

Children are a precious treasure and it is hard as a parent to see them in pain. Greif is felt and worked through individually. Prayers.

Thank you for your prayers. Yes it is hard. The sad part is that it is a pain that will always linger for him.

My dad died when I was 22 years, he has been gone a long time. I still miss him and hurt. Not as bad, but the pain of a parent’s death or child’s does not just disappear one day. Grief of a parent is something we all have to face.

This is true. I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how painful it has being for you. A girl’s bond with her dad is priceless. 🤗🤗🤗
