new to this...love you always freddy!

I am 27 years old, my dad died January 27, 2010 due to a major stroke
in his brain stem. It was very sudden and unexpected, he was only 57.
The doctors told us he would make a sixty to ninety percent recovery,
but then they didn't realize where the stroke actually happened and the
affects it had on his system. I believe I am still in shock over this.
I am a part time funeral director and am in grad school part time
working on my masters in social work. It was a blessing to help my
family help make the difficult decisions during the funeral
arrangements, but it was like I was numb and it wasn't my dad's funeral
who I was planning. Just a very strange/surreal experience. Hopefully by blogging about my dad's death it will help me deal with my grief and give me an outlet to express myself. love you always Freddy, three weeks to the day, hope you are enjoying your journey!

Stella, I am so sorry about your dad. I lost my dad 8 months ago to a stoke. I was in shock for the first six months, walking around in a daze. Blogging and writing about my dad has helped. Everyone I have encounter on this group has been very helpful and reading other people's comments and blog post has helped me realize I am not alone.

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
