knovosel's Journal, 23 May 2018

The hits just keep on coming for me this year...My father just passed away yesterday. I really thought that he would be Ok after his stroke but his surgery afterwards just proved too much for his body and stopped his heart. So sad to even write those words. Even though we were not very close, I still hurt. Can't stop crying. I keep having these moments of memories that are just killing me. Yesterday was not that bad, but today is proving to be extremely hard for me. My mind is just reeling. Hubby is away and I am alone. Don't know what to do with myself, just trying to keep busy. And the weirdest thing.... This morning I was woken up by loud birds by my hallway window; as I looked out a big black crow had taken a baby bird, and the baby was half dead. Couldn't deal with it this morning, so I went to work. After work I came home and found the baby still alive and trying to breathe. So freaking sad!!!! I had to go out and kill it, the poor thing was suffering for hours. Oh my God, can I get a break or what this year. WTF! The worst days ever of this year. Please send me some peace! I can't take much more.

Just read your journal, it is rough going through this thing that we all hate to go through. I remember when my mother passed, I thought how will I keep going. I remember keeping so busy , so I can stop thinking about my mom not being around. I kept telling myself that I know my mother wants me to stop crying for her and start living and enjoy life. I think going places where there's people around and maybe just go for a walk at a park to help keep a peaceful mind..Keep busy til your husband gets home..

Are still involved with your dance studio? That would be the place I would probably go. Or maybe put on some music and dance in your living room. Time to dance again. Be kind to yourself and dance for your Dad.

I am from PR, and Hurricane Maria was a nightmare. My car was smashed by a mango tree and the front glass broke, FEMA said no help. My cruise was cancelled because carnival cruiseline, made contract with FEMA,for 5 months. It was my anniversary slash birthday celebration. Looking forward for 8 months. My mother passed away in emergency, being in perfect health and still hurts. Menopause makes it difficult to sleep and looking at food makes me gain weight. My father is 82,lives alone, climbs stairs and is impossible to talk to him. My neighbors have domestic violence in their home. Thank god they separated a month ago, that is solved. I am feeling better about my mother, now I remember her with joy, and I took my beloved cruise 4 weeks ago, and I had the time if my life. Soooo, things will get better eventually. If I survived 4 months without electricity, car and entertainment, hot food and cold drinks in a Caribbean island, etc. I hope I inspire you to hang in there, it will pass, slowly but it will.

Awe I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. My Mom passed last year so I understand how you are feeling. Do you have any friends or family you can visit just to talk? It helped me to listen to music my Mom liked and look at things that she gave me so I could think about better times. I'm sorry about that baby bird. Please come back here for more support.

Anyone would be heart-broken over all this. So sorry you are having to go through it alone. The memories of your father may hurt at first but as time goes by you will be able to think of the good times and smile again. You are doing the right thing by trying to keep busy, it helps. But sometimes it helps more to have a friend or other family member to talk to about your feelings. Crying helps too, so don't try to stop it. Little things will set you off but you are stronger than you think. Birds are fragile, I'm a bird lover, but I too could not stand to let that little thing suffer. Stay busy dear and know that there are people who care. I hope your husband returns soon to help you get through this.

So sorry for your loss, and not having Hubby there. Praying that life gets out of the way and you are allowed to grieve properly and fully. Words are nowhere near enough to bring comfort, but I wish you Peace.
