Thanks, OB.....((( HUGS )))
I honestly don't think my daughter has grieved. She seems to have blocked certain things out of her memory or just doesn't talk about it. I hate to feel like I'm being a bad parent, but I can't seem to approach her about it.
There are times when we do talk about my dad, and we say - remember when? - and we smile....but it's tense because she knows that I get so emotional about it.
The school had a counselor talk to her when it first happened, but my life was such a blur that I don't know if that actually happened, what the outcome was, etc. How horrible is that? I should be looking out for my daughter's well being....instead I am too consumed by grief.
My neighbor - a medic - talked to my daughter a couple times about it, but my daughter is very intimidated by my neighbor and her harshness. So, I don't think the talks were very therapeutic.
As I muddle through my issues with my T, I will be sure to raise this, in case he thinks I should make an appt for her as well...
