| Wondering how to grieve my Dad
Brand new to this site today, I hope I'm not screwing up with the protocol...
My Dad died last June and I feel like I don't have anyone to share my grief with. I live out of town, and was home with everyone his last week. We did really well that last week practically living in the ICU waiting room, praying and talking and crying together. But it seemed like, from the moment he died, my Mother and all of us got down to business making arrangements. My Mother is still just busy, busy and never calls. When I call her, she's chatty and I don't want to make her grief worse bringing her down. I have talked with my son some about the good times we had with Grandpap, but he's too young to burden with my grief. I have a few friends at work who gave me hugs and cards, but not anyone I'd feel ok blubbering with.
I feel like I'm not honoring my Dad because I haven't fully grieved him yet. Any suggestions?
