Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I got back home to Ohio yesterday morning around 4 am (eeek). I am going to try to go to work tomorrow. We will see how it goes. My Dad's service was beautiful and so many people came. People brought us food everyday... so much food that we had to freeze a lot of it. It is all so wonderful that we are cared for that much.
I am still so sad and miss my Dad. I keep waiting for a text or a call. Still doesn't seem real. It is also kind of hard to talk to others who have lost someone. I feel like it is such a different situation. My Dad didn't die in a tragic car accident or peacefully in his sleep. However, I do appreciate hearing from others even though I can't seem to connect.
I am going to a support group that is the first Monday of each month called Survivors of Suicide. I have also learned about some wonderful organizations like www.outofthdarkness.org. They even have a walk that I want to do!
You all have been so wonderful. The morning I found out, I didn't know where to turn, who to talk to, I didn't want to even say it outloud. So I am glad you were there for me. I am lucky to have such supportive nestie friends.
Re: Thank You
Once again Stephanie, I am so sorry with every thing you are going through. What a confusing time for both you and your family.
My BFF's BIL went through something similar. In 2009 his mother died of cancer only shortly to be followed by his brother's death in a car accident. About 6 months later his father killed himself because the grief was too much. It has been a tough (going on) two years but he is in a much, much better place now. His friends and distant family have really pulled through for him and pushed him into counseling and a support group. He really credits those two outlets for getting him through his darkest time.
Again, I can't tell you how sorry I am to have heard the news. Just know that if you ever need anything, need to cry, need to vent, we are here for you.
((hugs))
