As always you speak truth out of love! Your father added so much value to my life. Personnally and professionally. A too sudden lost of a great man, friend and mentor. I know no others like him, but encouraged by the legacy he leaves in his sons. My love to you and your family.

Thank you so much for these words, Anne. Dad always spoke so highly of you. He definitely was one of a kind!

Such power and truth in this post, Andrew. I lost my Dad back in 2000 and my Mom, unexpectedly, in 2015. And all your observations are so relevant and needed. Can I suggest you consider sharing this with, perhaps your local Hospice or even the national one? They are always looking for resources for this in loss. Blessings, brother.

Thanks for reading Dave and for your kind words.

I'm sorry about the loss of your mom and your dad. It just hurts. Hope you've found comfort and support in your grief journey.

Thanks for the suggestion about sharing the article in that way. I hadn't thought of that and happy for it to be a resource to anyone it can support.

Thanks very much Andrew , and I'll be praying for you and your journey especially this weekend, as you face one of those 'first holidays' without Dad. One thing I've learned is how important it is to be good to yourself ..re: eat well, get enough sleep , and keep talking about how you are doing. Thank you again and take good care.
