After my dad died in 2006 (suddenly and unexpectedly), I would find myself breaking down and crying constantly. I'll never forget the one time I was driving and a memory of him floated to the surface. It was so sudden and so painful that I just couldn't stop crying, and I had to pull over on the side of the road until I calmed down. I promise that this stage will pass. You'll wake up one day and notice that the sudden crying spells you're so used to having have let up some.
I always thought that I would forget things about my dad, his voice, his laugh, his smile...but I think those memories have gotten stronger over the years because I was so afraid I'd lose them at the beginning. I'll be praying for you, I know this is hard. But this is just a phase and it will start to get better. When I was where you are I could see no light at the end of the tunnel, but it's there. I promise.
Thank you for your kind words, they bring me so much hope. I'm so sorry for your loss, I can only hope it gets easier for both of us. Thank you for leaving some love on my blog!
