All I can say is thank you for writing this 😭 my dad passed August 14 and I didn’t know someone could encapsulate so perfectly all that I felt.

My dad died very unexpectedly in his sleep at 62 in 2019. I was only 30. They still have no cause of death. Im still absolutely rocked. And crying all the time. Your blog was so well written and very helpful. Praying for peace for all of you.

I lost my dad unexpectedly from cardiac arrest just before Christmas. And exactly what you said about the shock you feel that the world was just carrying on when I was feeling ripped up inside. And having to get through the holidays being cheery for my young kids, it was tough. And now that the holidays are over and kids are back to school, the quiet moments is when I try and grieve but definitely go through all those emotions you mentioned. I find myself lashing out at my husband or kids when I’m in that state of being overwhelmed with life. So your advice of communicating better is welcomed. I feel like others also think it is time I move on and those that are in this club of having lost a parent really can truly understand. Thank you for your article and the podcast links. I have bookmarked it to refer back to from time to time. Sorry for your loss. 💔

The kids are in school, my husband is away for work, I managed to walk the dog this morning. And now am in bed, fully clothed, with no intention of getting up until the buses bring the kids home. Then, we will get BP, I will plunk them in front of the tv until bed at which time, I’ll lie down on the couch, by the wood fire until I cry myself to sleep. I share this because it’s all I have the bandwidth to do at this moment, and that there is no deadline of when we have to pick ourselves up again. I think that needs to be shared as normal.
Thanks for your blog posted. It is horribly relatable, and I appreciate that right now.

Feeling like you are in a bad dream is so real. It’s so hard. I am sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing.
