[quote=Anonymous]My dad died in the hospital and until a few days before the end, we were actively planning that he would go home eventually. His house was a wreck because a 100 pound man with kidney failure couldn’t keep up the house and wouldn’t accept help. A month after he died, as I was cleaning out his house, I had a couple moments where a fleeting thought of how relieved he would be that XYZ was finally clean when he got home would stop me abruptly in my tracks when I would remember that he would not come home again. It got easier when the cognitive dissonance faded a bit. Until that happened, it was just hard and sad no matter how many helpful reframes I could summon. So sorry for your loss. [/quote]
