Dealing With Death: Holidays and the New Year

[bumbletbw]

Happy New Year, LJ. We got through Christmas and New Years okay. The saddest thing was that Dad received a new piece for his train set a few days before Christmas. Maybe it was a sign from the universe that all is well and he's still with us. All I know is that life moves on, and it only seems sad and weird that Dad's not here when I stop to think

It seems like you've had a hard time as expected ever since your father died but that you're managing well. I would imagine that losing a parent is tough. I havne't lost anyone I was that close to yet, so I don't know what I would do. Sometimes when I see my mother in NC, I wonder if it will be the last time because of he health conditions. I hope it isn't, but you never know.

THat's great that you got your mom a tablet so she can keep in touch with your brother and your new niece. I finally met my niece in late December.
