[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 722000, member: 1233"] Grief is hard no matter how old you are. It comes in waves and they can completely swamp you at the most unexpected times. Sometimes the oddest things can trigger a wave. I firmly believe our loved ones live on. My grandfather died before I was born, but I saw him a few times before my grandmother died. Once after we moved away from the state she lived in. She was so worried about us, and I think he came to check on us so that he could ease her worries. I had no idea who he was until my mother overheard me describe him to my brother. There are few photos of my grandfather, so I didn't recognize him. Some years later I saw him several times. He was sitting by my grandmother's bed as she was very ill. I saw him in her home and I saw him in the hospital a few days before she died. He was always holding her hand. I am sure your dad is watching over you with love, just as he loved you all of your live. Stay open to your feelings and you won't get stuck in your grief. If you do feel stuck, I am sure you can find a grief support group that could be helpful. You might try journaling your feelings and experiences as you go through this. You are a wonderful and talented writer and this might be a very moving written work. Even if you are the only person who ever reads it. [/QUOTE]
