Well, with October 19th approaching (unfortunately), obviously I have been thinking about Dad a lot. A LOT. Even more than usual. This got me to thinking. I WONDER IF GRIEVING FOR A DECEASED LOVED ONE CAN BECOME SOMEONE'S ENTIRE IDENTITY. I am trying to keep myself from becoming like that, but in some ways, I actually embrace my pain and grief

Include me in those last minute plans. Or even if you want, let me plan for you.

*hugs*

I would love your help! You always understand exactly what I'm talking about when it comes to Dad.

Sweetie, your grief is normal especially with the upcoming week ahead. I think after getting past this one year milestone, you will see things to start to progress. Everyone experiences loss and grief in their own way and time. There is no time limit to when each stage will end and the next begins. You may seem to be moving slower through this than others but do not let that worry you. You are you and you are entitled to feel and suffer as you choose, just like the lyrics of the song

Keep an ear out for the phone on Wednesday.

Reluctance

[audiovocum]

Out through the fields and the woods
And over the walls I have wended;
I have climbed the hills of view
And looked at the world and descended;
I have come by the highway home,
And lo, it is ended.

The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping
To ravel them one by one
And let them go scraping and creeping
Out over the crusted snow,
When others are sleeping.

And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last lone aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;
The heart is still aching to seek,
But the feet question 'Whither?'

Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?
