This time period after is always a shaky one. Going to that grief counseling can't hurt. And it might be good for the rest of the family if you were there, too.
I agree with Neil. What do you have to lose by calling them?
I'm an email away if you need...
You're in my thoughts.
Neil So many places to start. Bottom line is why are you commenting now? Because I dropped you from my feeds in this past week -- because I did. You thought that my stepmother's death would make me conciliatory? If so, you are in deep need of medication. Right now your "voice" is that of the annoying gnat in my ear. Annoying yet hard to separate from the other white noise. Catch a clue and then maybe we can talk.
Nat I respect your opinion. Neil's? Not so much so.
I have always been down with counseling. It's why I'm here today. Believe me when I say that I will do whatever is necessary to get my family through this hellacious year. And it's because of this belief that I think that my family worries about me. Because in the past I have been willing to sacrifice myself for the good of the family. I think they are now starting to think of what price that sacrifice costs. But I will do it again if that's what it means to keep my family here.
oh Dags...I am SO SO Sorry Hon. It does suck, and grief is strange...how it hits you. Take some time and spend it with your dad if you're able to....it would probably do BOTH of you some good.
You and yours are in my prayers Dags. Love ya.

If you're looking for a body shaper, I can recommend the Unbelievabra by shapeez. It is the best one available.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Even if your relationship was up and down, she was and always will be a big part of your life. Take care of yourself at this time and don't let your family wear you out too much. You can't help your father if you are exhausted.
My, you're having a rough year... so sorry for yet another loss. Regardless of the level of "expected-ness" it remains a painful experience that changes a person. Draw close to the ones you love, they'll need you as much as you need them. My thoughts are with you Dags.
I am so sorry to read about this. My condolences to your entire family, dear.
There's no "right" way to grieve. We all do it our own way in our own time. And it's so hard to watch the people we love suffer.
My heart hurts for you in this tough time.
Hugs!
I'm saying a prayer for you and your family, for whatever it might be worth. (Comfort? Strength? Warmth from someone in Illinois that you've never met but who cares about you?) I'm glad you're writing and sharing when you can, and finding your way back, even if it's slow going.
Mojo & Oscar, Peggy & I,
Think that you should come over for Pizza. That would help maybe?
Goodbye Dagny, I'll miss reading your life. Peace to you too.
Clara
Peace to you, Dagny. Thanks for sharing what you have with us.
So sorry to hear you are bowing out of the blogging world. Good luck to you and I hope you still find some time here and there to stop by for a visit or just to say hi.
I just found you and now you're gone? Oh well, I totally understand. Take care and enjoy the downtime. There's always Facebook.
A bit sad for us readers, but understandable. I hope the year finishes on an Up Note for you Dagny. Take care of yourself.
prayers
hoping u find some measure of peace hon
I know I'm late to this, but I've been pretty removed from the blogworld myself. I'm sorry to hear of your losses, and hope that life has gotten kinder in the 2 months that have passed. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself.
