So tired and sad today.

Four years ago today, my Dad passed away. I miss him so much. Add that to huge financial stress and only 3 hours sleep and that makes for a very hard day. I wish the world would just slow down so I can catch my breath.

I understand how you feel completely ..... I lost my parents also both during the holiday season. Dec 16 was 5 yrs for my dad (he passed 3 days after my daughter was born ) and it was 6 years for my mom on jan 1...... They say it gets easier but I'm still waiting for that ....so gig hugs to you today : )

Thank you! Thankfully I still have my Mom. I can't believe it has been four years already, it still seems like yesterday.

I wish the world would just slow down so I can catch my breath.

Powerful words. Sending out a virtual hug and hoping your day gets better.

Thank you. I have been feeling this way for a while now and today is just the icing on the proverbial cake.

I lost my Mom two years ago this month. It's still so very hard... lost my Dad in 1968 and I still miss him terribly too. Sending hugs...

Thank you. !968 was the year my husband was born and the year my parents were married.

So sorry to hear that dodge! It doesn't really get easier does it? I have really teary today, I have not been this upset since the day he died. I guess the fact that I am stressed and exhausted aren't helping matters.

Loss of a loved one is always hard ~ even though we can no longer touch them they live on forever in our hearts and all around us with their healing energy!

Jo, December is my difficult month because we lost my Dad really quickly to a brain tumour 4 years ago Dec. 28th. I was a complete mess that day a couple weeks ago so I know exactly how you feel. Big hugs from me.

My Mom is strong and we are best friends. I call her every other day at least and I promised my Dad when he was letting go that I would take good care of her. I'm in tears now with you. We have to let ourselves feel the grief as it hits us because it's part of the healing process. I can finally look at pictures of my Dad and smile and treasure all the good memories.
