Today we visited my dad’s grave for the first time. It was surreal seeing his name engraved in marble. My reaction wasn’t what I thought it was going to be which is strange. I know everyone grieves differently but it seems like I am going through some motions here and I want to feel something. Dad, I miss you so much. Rest in power. To infinity and beyond.
(Please do not reblog, thank you.)

I went through the motions of everyday life in a trance for several months when my husband died 5 years ago — giving voice to your feelings through your blog or personal journal or through talking with others is healing! Keep the good work going…

I just hope people don’t think I am a Debbie Downer all the time. This seems to be the theme of my posts over the past few weeks.

I know what you mean. It’s been ten months since my hubby died and I still can hardly believe it. Some days are okay, others like a huge part of me is missing. Mostly I’m just so sad. Reading your thoughts helps me understand better what my son’s are going through. No matter what you’re feeling, it’s okay ❤️

Hang in there Tony. You are going through one of the most difficult things to go through. Obviously, your father meant a lot to you. My father died 19 years ago + is also buried in a VA Cemetery out here in Oregon. Take Care Tony…

I can only imagine how hard it is to visit him like this, but his stone is beautiful and you’re right, everyone mourns differently, you do whatever you need to do to feel and to keep going 🌷xx

It’s an amazing place to see all those veterans and spouses buried there. It was hard but necessary. Thank you for your kindness.
