Comment on Dealing with the Loss of a Parent by Yvonne Gold.
I never comment on blogs, but when I read your words about your dad, I began to cry. My dad died five years ago, and I still miss him, but I had mom left to care for, and I had to be strong for her. Now my mom has recently passed away (in May), and I have never felt such overwhelming sorrow in my life. I have never felt so alone. My mother had a great faith in God that sustained her, and she taught me to have faith as well. It is the only thing I can cling to for comfort, and it is getting easier – very slowly. I still have bouts of crying, as I did when I read your blog, but the times of feeling I am drowning in sorrow are becoming less over time. I’m sure that time will make it all easier to bear, but I also know that the fabric of life will never seem whole again because a huge piece is missing. You are in my prayers.
