The day we lose a loved one, is the day we join a group we don’t want to be a part of. In this club, we all have one thing in common, and with knowing that, know your are not alone in this awful club
I want this blog to be a place where I can connect with others grieving and those also grieving, can express their grief in a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment and know you are not alone in this awful club.
I plan to write a blog every Thursday, which is the day of week I lost my dad. Other than that, I have no guideline for myself for this blog, no rules, no real plans. My hope is that even if my blog reaches just one person, and helps them not feel alone, then my blog serves a greater purpose than I can imagine.
Grief, Giving Up, & Going On Club

I am right there with you Sweetheart. Sometimes I feel guilty because I think I have cried more tears at losing your Dad than I did for my own close family members. The tears I shed come from some deep down “otherworldly” place. My whole body shakes and I have no control. It scares me. It scares me because I have no way to stop the pain, or the tears or the overwhelming feeling of lack of being able to stop. So I am right there with you. You will never know another love like the love your Dad had for you.

Mom, thank you for your reply. I feel your pain when you say the pain comes from some other worldy place. Sometimes the physical parts of grief I feel scare me too. However, I think the only way to decrease the pain during attacks like this is to ride it out and let the tears flow. I believe that crying and the body responding physically is your body’s way of doing what it needs. I know you cared so much for him, I love you.
