I hope ...Catherine, I'm so sorry for your loss.<br />I hope you are finding love and support where ever you are<br />Please feel free to email me if you want to talk. You can find my email address under the tab under the picture at the top of my blog on a tab called “Contact Me”.<br /><br />I remember how difficult it was for my kids when Dad died. Not because of their own grief, though they loved Dad. It was hard for them to see the depth of my own sadness. To this day they don't like it whenever I listen to that song the I mentioned in this post “Song for You” by Ray Charles...yet I still listen...<br />They have said, “Mom, we don't like it when you listen to this song.”<br />And I reply, “I know you don't, Honey. But one day I think you will understand why I still want to listen to it. It reminds me of Dad in a nice way and sometimes I really need that.” <br />So they have learned a lot from it, I think. And so have I.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309932952235453461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-59730088887763766892014-02-07T23:19:49.958-06:002014-02-07T23:19:49.958-06:00Thank you for sharing, Karen.

We are staying with very religious relatives at the moment so are discreetly trying to discuss death with the kids.

If you don't mind me saying so, I think 72 is too soon. There are no words. There is little comfort. There is just putting one foot in front of the other and enjoying when the sun peaks through the clouds--which seems to happen more and more the further the timeline moves away from the loss. There is the love of family and friends. <br />Bridgetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-7955472368342164692014-02-06T15:07:11.085-06:002014-02-06T15:07:11.085-06:00Very well said!

I am glad that people who initially took care of you after you found out about your dad's death reacted in a way that was according to your way of life. I am glad that his dad caused you and your siblings spend time together, even though it was painful, and that you all could fulfill some dreams for yourselves. I'm sure your dad would have wanted that.Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787379336749043051noreply@blogger.com
