Deb Beausoleil πŸ“·πŸŒ…πŸ“Έ she/her

I'm heartbroken as my dad passed away late last night. But, after some thought, I can still find #3goodthings

1. Dad is at peace now and for that I am grateful.

2. I got to spend these last years with him under my roof, creating memories I’ll hold onto forever.

3. Love doesn’t end hereβ€”the love he gave continues to shape me, even in the hardest moments.

Bonus: I’m holding close the memory of our last real vacation together at what used to be my grandparent's cabin on Lake Superior β€” and this photo reminds me that even in grief, there is still beauty to look toward.

I offer my condolences, still reeling from my own recent loss.

I suggest you explore the concept of continuing bonds.

Show threadDeb Beausoleil πŸ“·πŸŒ…πŸ“Έ she/herJan 28
@stargazersmith I am sorry for your loss. And yes, I have looked at that concept of continuing bonds. I've never been of the philosophy to cut ties in order to move on. Given this was my last parent, and one who has been my closest confidante all my life, it will be perfectly natural to include his spirit in all that I do (or continue to do) in life.

I hope you're able to focus on the wonderful memories from the past and can see beyond the future absence. He is in your heart, so will always be with you. Listen for his voice in your mind when you need to feel that connection.

My mom passed last Jan, and I hear her all the time. "Well, you could do that, but there may be a better way." And she's right as always.

@shertson This is excellent advice and I so appreciate it. There are so many memories. I will miss him so much, though, particularly when I go out with the camera at dawn as he always went with me.

I'm sorry about your mom. I'm glad you've been able to hear your mom. I feel like that is something that I'll be able to hear from dad.
