Oh Eleanor. After my dad died recently, mum wouldn't stop calling and crying, "is he there? Where is he?"

My last moments with my husband, who died of COVID in a memory care facility, were taken from me in the usual sense, but I know with every fiber of my being that we were together at that moment in time.

There is nothing like losing a father. May God be a firm foundation.

Loss of a parent is so hard to deal with. When my father died, four hundred miles away, I felt as though something had reached in and ripped my heart from its moorings. It was still there , so full of pain

Thank you for sharing. It’s hard

I'm not sure what I want to say exactly. My dad just passed less than eight months ago and I'm still figuring out my own grief journey. So I guess I just want to say thanks for holding up a mirror of one experience. It helps.
