[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Losing a parent is very hard. I lost my mother in April 2019 after a brief illness although she had been in decline. What helped me was recognizing she had an amazing, rich, full life. She said yes to everything, traveled the world, had International recognition at her job, three loving children, a stable marriage, financially stable as well. I could not imagine a better life for someone whose parents came over as impoverished immigrants. My mother grew up eating leftovers from the grocery store, in a one room house with no electricity, etc. She turned into an educated, accomplished professional with a single-family home in the DC area. I think the way to get over it is to recognize that life is wonderful and beautiful and also brief. Treasure the good times and remember your father as the powerful, loving father you remember him to be. I wish you peace. I cried a lot but eventually I just smile when I look at her things. I was just cleaning out a Le Creuset pot she left for my daughter and remembering all of the wonderful meals she cooked in it.[/quote]

Thank you for this.[/quote]
