  1. Hi, I guess I am one of those that seem to be moving on easier than others. I am not cold, or not dealing with my grief. I lost my dad to surgery complications and mom and brother a week and a half later in a car accident five months ago. The first month after their passing was very tough for me. But now, to see me everyday, you would think I am doing fine. I am happy at work, play with my kids and get along as normal during the day. It is a struggle I deal with everyday to be this way, to put on a happy face, but I am choosing to live my life as I know my family members would have wanted. Plus when I "act happy" I start to feel happy. It is tough to smile and feel down at the same time. My parents gave me life, they would want me to live it. Now when I am alone in the car, and especially at night with my husband when the kids are in bed, it all comes out. So what you see on the outside, of people "handling it well", is not necessarily what is going on in the inside. Plus I have always had a positive attitude, and although a terrible tragedy has occurred that has changed my life forever and made my life a roller coaster everyday, my family members death have reinforced the fact that life can be short, and we need to live it to the fullest while we are here. We will never forget them, but we can't change the past. They will live on in our hearts forever.
