You've really been though a lot this year, and yes, grief events are additive. Every time I have a new one come up, it raises up all the past ones. Experience teaches us how to deal better with the new ones, but that's countered by the renewed grieving for the earlier losses. Tough stuff for sure. Blessings to you.

Many people are surprised that divorce raises up all the grief stuff, but it does. Cheryl — Thanks for the comment, and I will re post about this around the holidays.

And the loss of my dad and my son within five months has been so tough. So many things about my dad's loss bring to mind things about the loss of my son.

And as I said yesterday, er, tweeted to you yesterday, very perceptive. Interestingly, after my ex-husband and I divorced, I had this angst on Father's Day for the first few years. It, too, would sneak up on me. It wasn't until the next morning as I took the time to process thoughts in my journal, that I realized what was going on. Your post is so accurate. Perhaps you should re-post at Thanksgiving and Christmas too. Blessings! WOW – you’re exactly right. And as I said yesterday, er, tweeted to you yesterday, very perceptive.
