In Loving Memory of My Father

pearl 38

 

My dad passed away on March 17th.

I was not able to say anything at the funeral because of the disbelief and shock. When I saw a lot of my family men in suits walking around at the funeral, it was so unbelievable and for a few seconds, my eyes were looking around the room to find my father. How could it be that he was not amongst us? He was right there, but not walking, resting with a smile on his face. In the new suit that he had just bought and gotten custom tailored, as if he knew. It felt like he would wake up any second.

I cannot believe it’s already been over two weeks without him.

I am not able to express in words the intensity of my sadness but if you were here dad, I would like you to know that you truly are my hero.

I love you dad and I really miss you.

Hi guys

Thank you so much for stopping by and showing your support. I have to tell you that Ive tried to write a post on this blog but every time I sit down to write something, Im completely stumped! and the words just wont come to me … It’s as if I’ve lost my train of thought all together.

All these days, I haven’t even been able to gather the courage to write a comment here for some reason – don’t have a clue as to why! You know I am not like this at all…

But please know that I have thanked you all many times in my thoughts….

love

I wanted to write this here rather than on twitter, it shows more respect.

I’m deeply sorry for your fathers loss, I haven’t experienced such so I can’t say I know what you are going through, but with the same experience of family members I know that it gets easier as time passes

Pearl, there are not enough words other than to say I’m sorry that you’re going through this time of heart wrenching grief. You’re going through many things at one time so take extra good care of yourself in all aspects of your life and with your loved one’s lives.

I’d like to share with you that grief has no time limits. At the least, it will take you 2 years to adjust but don’t limit yourself to that. If possible, find a grieving group to help you through this. It’s helpful. You will go through stages at varying times. Feel its pain. Pain won’t hurt you; just feel it and then release it but only when you are ready to let it go. It takes time and, even at that, it will reappear when you least expect it.

The professionals who handled your father’s funeral have information on the Grief groups in your area. Give them a call whenever you’re ready.

*Hugs!*
