sometimes that stuff feels good...sometimes it is just overwhelming.

Well, It was rough. My dad was very ill for a long time and knew a lot of people. So, I've told his story many times and have become sort of immune to certain parts. It's the stuff I don't talk about a lot and the enormous guilt I feel that is so overwhelming and exausting!

The days before he died and the day he died are still difficult to remember. It's just painful, painful stuff.
There is something cleansing about grieving, though. I know that right now you feel raw and awful, but I hope that later, you might feel some of the peace that comes from letting ourselves feel our feelings. And if you don't, that's okay too. Grieving is what it is, and it honestly takes the time it takes.
I'm glad you had T today. Even though it was painful, you didn't have to go through it alone.
Sending SO many hugs

Tree...I love what your son said. I work in a daycare and live for what they say..they are my kids. I hope I find peace one day...it has been so long since I've had it and I need it badly.
I'm glad I had T today too...it was impeccable timing. When I first sat down I told him I felt like crap and I shouldn't have come. He said "Is your stomach bothering you? Do you have headache? Does your leg, arm, eye, ear, face hurt you? I said "no". He said "Then you feel emotional pain and that means you come here"...one of my favorite T quotes to date.
