4. yeah, I dont want to belittle the grief

The last year has been hard in many ways. I was very close to mom, and her stroke was a surprise and it took her over a week to pass and I was devastated. Then having to worry about Dad when his dementia took a nosedive because he was truly lost without her. There have been many tears and sleepless nights, nightmares, etc. And I know I'm still not out of the woods with Dad grief, but it looks different when you see it coming rather than being blindsided. Thank Goddess for my grief counselor, journaling, and the fact I have to qualms about having an altar to my ancestors and lighting candles and talking to mom etc... Being able to see things from a bigger spiritual place has definitely helped.
