Carol,

I am so sorry for your loss of your dad.  My 3 relatives passed in 2009, and this Christmas was painful, because I think we were all in shock the first christmas was not here.

I have had counseling, and been put on an antidepressant.  I am more accepting of the facts of life, and oh so much less angry.  I am glad to get that out of system.  I miss mom, but I feel much stronger as time goes on.

Carol, if there is anything I can leave with you, please understand your dad probably lost his desire to live, after the loss of your mom.  Take time to share your story with others, when asked.  I feel this was a huge learning experience, and I am so much more sensitive when others loose their loved one. 

Let me know how your coping and what is going on.  I am so sorry for loosing tract with you.  Know I care, Belinda

Carol, I never read your reply in November, and the holidays kept life hectic.  I hope your grief process is moving along.  I am honored to be your friend.  Please, let me know how you are doing!  Warmly, Belinda

Hi Carol,
There is never a need to apologize. I think I left you a note, and it never posted. Please check some of my postings, and please add me to be on your friend list. Warmly, Belinda
