Five weeks ago yesterday. It doesn't seem possible.
It's still so unreal.
I've heard people say we are put on this earth for a reason and I have come to the conclusion that I was put here to help bury my family and help those left behind deal with their loss. 
And I can be there for others, at least in the moment, but I'm not so good with the fall out. I become an emotional sponge and soak up everyone's sadness and then I'm left feeling all alone, like I always did, being the only girl and the youngest of the family.
Lyrics from Tull's Thick As A Brick just popped into my head. How fitting.
And the youngest of the family is moving with authority.
Building castles by the sea, (s)he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside.
Thank you all so very much for listening to me while I try to woirk through this.
