Looking Upward


• Friday, August 1, 2008 -

My father passed away last Thursday, July 24th.  I have gone through different emotions; shock, anger, sadness, helplessness.  We just got back home last night from the trip to Kentucky to bury him and Tennessee to go through his belongings.  There will never be another man like Charles Thomas. 

So today will be about trying to get the house back in order, laundry caught up, etc.  Maybe even some homeschool preparation.  We are scheduled to start Monday, but I don't know if that will happpen. 

My husband has been great.  He had to go back to work today so I am a little lonely.

at the loss of your father. It's not the same at all but I lost my last grandparent this year - my favorite grandma died in March. It is so hard. I pray that you will remember all of those wonderful things about your father and be able to smile when you feel overwhelmed.

about your loss. I lost my dad 8 years ago this past Memorial Day. All I can say is seek comfort in the memories and embrace the odd moments when you remember him. It's amazing how something simple can make me think of my Dad. Who interestingly enough was also named Charles, Charles Thompson.

Hi there Melanie. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost both of my parents within 5 months. Dad died Oct 06 and mom died March 07. I know all the emotions, and you will probably feel many more in the next year or so. I can't say I know "exactly" how you feel because everyone handles it differently. But I wanted you to know I have been there, and if you need someone to chat with and some support while dealing with this, I am here for you.

I will be praying for you dear. Please try to think of the good times!!! And keep a journal. Writing our your feelings may help, as it did me.

God's Blessings,
Amy Jo
