Profile Information

About Me:
I am a 34 year old married mom of four children ranging from sixteen to four years old. My seven year old is autistic. I was born raised in New Jersey and moved to an Indian reservation in North Dakota in 2000. My husband is an enrolled member of the tribe.
About my Loss:
My dad died of a massive of heart attack on May 8, 2009. It came as a great shock to all of my family. I was Daddy's Little girl. I have one older sister who I know is going through her own emotions. At the moment, I am stuck in the middle of family quarrels between my grandmother (my father's mother) and my mother (both of whom live in NJ). I am tired of it and I feel like no one is letting me grieve they just keep calling and e-mailing me to bitch at me. I hide my sadness and depression from my children and husband. It is all beginging to build up inside of me and also affecting my sleep. When will life ever get back to normal?

Thank you for all your wonderful comments. Everyone has been so supportive. It truly is helping me in my grief. Yes that is my dad and me. I think I was about four years old.

I just realized that must be your Dad and you in the picture. Am I correct?

Kim, my condolences on the loss of your father. Grieving is a very difficult process that is different for everyone. My 33 year old daughter was killed on Memorial Day of this year and my emotions range from feeling nothing, to sadness, to anger, to rage and everything in between. It has been a little over two months now and very early on I would not accept phone calls from anyone. I sent an email to family and friends explaining that my emotions were very raw and unpredictable so if there was to be any communication it was through email or texting. I would not even speak to my parents! When I was ready, and not before, I began calling certain people for very short conversations. There are still some family members I will not talk to... If your mother and grandmother cannot see what they are doing to you then make it clear to them and do what you need to get through this difficult time. LIfe as you knew it will probably never be "normal" again. As daddy's little girl you were probably exceptionally close and your life will be different now. Not bad, just different. Give yourself time; seek professional help if you have not already done so. I have found this website to be very helpful and you will find the members are really nice. You might also want to consider joining the "I love my Dad" group on this website. Take care of yourself and I hope you can find just a little more peace in your heart as each day goes by.

Grandma sewing room

So I am almost done with cleaning my grandmas sewing room that wasn’t touched in 10 years because of all the mess, but now that she passed away 2 days ago, I don’t know if I should continue, I wanna finish what I started but I don’t know what to do, my grandpa is still alive and I don’t want to leave this burden on him.See More
