My dad just passed away on October 23rd. He was in Mexico and I couldn't get the Mexican doctors to fill out the required FMLA paperwork. I feel so guilty for not being there when he needed me the most. I'm filled with remorse for not going to be with him and letting my employer rob me of that time with my dad. I've felt physically numb since receiving the news. I don't know how to feel. This is the first time I've lost a parent. My mom has dementia/ alzheimers so I'm also trying to deal with that at the same time. I'm overwhelmed by everything. When will I feel again? How can I move on when I feel robbed of saying goodbye? How do I find the strength to get up everyday? I can't eat or sleep. I feel as though the sadness is consuming me

"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.
