[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 139334, member: 3704"] Steely, My personal experience with the process of grieving is that all kinds of emotions ebb and flow - with really no rhyme or reason. In retrospect, I think that it has been healthy for me to acknowledge all of the thoughts and emotions and move forward through them. I think they only become problematic if one ignores them or spends too much time with them. From time to time I feel the presence of my father very, very strongly. It is a really almost a physical experience. He has been gone now for almost eight years, but this still occasionally happens. It is a very positive experience for me - as your experience was. I personally believe that we incorporate parts of those loved ones most important to us in our own personalities - and I also believe that is what I am experiencing when I feel that my father is nearby. It's a wonderful gift and legacy that he left me - and I think that your sister did this for you as well. It is very comforting for me to think about this, and I hope that it is for you also.
