Your call settled me a little. It gave me some hope. Thank you for taking the time to help.,I think that one of the things that was hurting me most was seeing the pictures of my parents young, happy and healthy. And missing that. Right now I just have to feel how I feel. My brother is struggling too. Hospice offers a service for a year for counseling for immediate family members who are grieving. I referred him. I hope he takes advantage of it

I’m grateful that your health has improved. There is so much stress and suffering right now. That’s why I try to see the little miracles in the everyday. I think that’s really what I was trying to say here. It’s the only way I can keep perspective.

First I lost my mother last year, then got Covid, and a month ago lost my father. I’m mourning like never before. Every time I think there are no more tears left in me, more come. And this on top of the state of the world. My father used to say when something bad happened, in 120 years it won’t matter anymore. I guess the same as this too shall pass. I am grateful for many things, don’t get me wrong. My family, and as you, no major financial worries. But what should be appreciation, is only sadness and emptiness right now. I envy your appreciation and ability to enjoy so much. Maybe someday I will have that again too.
