Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Dear Bob - I know what you mean about feeling mixed emotions. When my dad passed away in November, I was really surprised at the relief I felt. In a way - the past four months have been therapeutic because I've started taking time to do many of the things I didn't have time to do while dad was so sick. But, I also have very strong feeling of a sense of lose. A member of this forum (na) recommended www.griefshare.com. It's been very comforting to get a message from them every day. And I'm glad I signed up for them. I pray that God will continue to bless you as you transition into a new phase of life. in WA >>Now's the time to mourn and grieve my loss, but luckily I have the >>support of friends, the hospice team, and a counselor that I'd >>been seeing to deal with this and other issues in my life.
