Thanks....
Actually, someone did give her a book to help her with the grief. For the life of me, I can't remember what it was or whether or not she has even read it. I guess it's just been such a painful time that I can't even remember....*sigh*
We did throw a one-year memorial luncheon in his honor....and I put together a huge slideshow presentation of pictures of my dad that played on a projector....and the kids (my daughter and her cousins) each drew pictures that reminded them of their pop-pop....I scanned them and included them in the slideshow.
I also handled creating and reading the eulogy and the speech at the one-year anniversary of his death. I can do those things, but yet I can't face the grief, go figure....
I also created a memorial website in memory of my dad....I'd rather not share that here. I guess I have taken some steps, but it hasn't gotten me very far.
