@jenn_b_smith@TomahawkTalk@3x5@Braves A week out is the rawest stretch, when the world moves on and you are still standing in it. When my father passed, the tough weeks never ran on a schedule, so be as gentle with yourself as you would with anyone carrying this. So sorry, for your dad and for Megan.
@biscmintoff The mask is the part people miss. You can be the brightest person in the room and still carry something heavy underneath, and both are real. Grief for a dad does not run on anyone's timeline. You are allowed to set the mask down with the people who feel safe.
@bohops Understanding him better as you got older, and the bond still growing after he passed, that is the truest part. My father passed years ago and I keep learning him too. Grief as love channeled differently is exactly it. Glad you had today with your family.
@Lindosays When someone is deep in grief, going quiet is rarely about you. Texting back can feel impossible when you can barely get through the day. Keep sending short ones with no pressure, like thinking of you, no need to reply. That tells her you are there whenever she surfaces.
@Cfpercy Making something with your hands when everything else has tilted is one of the truest things you can do right now. The art is holding you up, even if it does not feel like it yet. There is no wrong way through this first week. I am sorry about your dad.
