I just found this group and I'm hoping it will help me. My Dad passed away from cardiac arrest on September 16. He had no health problems at the age of 81. My parents live in the country on 10 acres of land...Dad took care of all of the outside yard and fields and was so proud of the house. They moved into this home when I was 5, I'm now 52. Mom and Dad had no wills, so I flew from Colorado to Indiana and helped Mom pick out burial plots, casket, everything. Mom has had health issues in the last 5 years, but she has handled this well. I have a brother 6 years older, but he disowned the family 14 years ago, I stayed with Mom for about a month, then had to come home. But not before she had me help her write a will.
I am a recovering alcoholic with 7 years 11 months of sobriety. In December 2012 I lost a friend of 27 years. Then in September 2013, I lost another friend of 32 years. November 2013 I lost my favorite aunt. Now Dad. I was always Daddy's girl. I mention my sobriety because when I was drinking, that covered all of my feelings. So grieving, and FEELING is sort of new to me. LOL.
Anyway, I just feel,so lost. Worries about Mom so far away, and still in shock that Dad's gone. Hoping this group helps.
I had no idea how HARD this would be!
I MISS YOU, DAD! I will always be your Sugarbabe.
