Putting things away

[samajh]

It's been just under two weeks since my dad died. People keep asking me how I am. I'm thankful for their support, and never quite sure what to say. For the most part I really am fine

I can imagine and understand a lot of your feelings and I'm very happy you have great support.

I'm so glad you're taking good care of yourself and following your physical and spiritual inclinations. I keep hearing about "clean" versus "complicated" grieving, and it seems you did all the right things to avoid the latter.

I'm sure your father must have taken great pride and felt true joy in having such a wonderful daughter (and son, of course). It seems he had a rich, full life, and lived it well. I so admire that.

I've not heard of 'complicated grieving' but I suspect it's just as well! Thanks for your kind thoughts.

Wow, I somehow missed this. I'm so sorry, and, I'm so sorry.

My father passed away something like five years ago now, which is a weird thing to think. I'm still struck my deep sadness sometimes, and I don't think anyone who's not experiencing that kind of heartache can entirely understand it even if they've been through it themselves. Um, I'm not sure what my point is other than, I hear you, I"ve sorta been there, and you have my best wishes.

Thanks S- that's saying plenty.
