Ok I know this is going to sound crazy. I woke up around 4am because my bed shook, thought it might have been a small Earthquake. Then about 10 or 20 minutes later I could smell my dad's soap he used to use. I swear I'm not going crazy. #grief #parentloss
I'm getting a lot of #spam calls lately. They leave voicemail messages but it's just dead air. I am wondering if these unknown callers are my dad trying to call me. I like to think it is. #parentloss #grief
For people #grieving an intense loss are there any solutions to get rid of under eye bags? I cry almost every day. It's probably a dumb question. #parentloss
This week we look at how grief can be complicated.

I got a new sweatshirt with my dad's name on it and of course spilled tomato sauce on it. Today would have been my parents 50th. Not having a great day. #parentloss #grief 😞
My mom and I went for a walk this afternoon. We took the same path back home, and my mom found a loonie on the sidewalk. It wasn't there before. I think my dad was around. Miss you Daddy. #parentloss #grief
I feel like I'm barely treading water. Everything is moving in slow motion, while the world just keeps going. I can't keep up, so I just go at my own pace. #grief #parentloss
Grief really does make you physically ill. I was up half the night vomiting. 😔 #parentloss
My dad passed away a month after last Christmas, January 26. Ever since then, it feels like the magic of a lot of things is gone. This Christmas definitely has no magic left.

Today is 20 years since I lost my dad to cancer and I'm angrier about it today than I've been in years. Grief never goes away or weakens, I've just gotten better at navigating life with it. But it still isn't fair and never will be. #Grief #Parentloss #Healing

Day 7, last day of pre-planned holiday and three weeks after losing my dad. Just arrived home (dates are weird when it's technically tomorrow). Thoughts: I'm tired. Everything is tiring.
#grief #parentloss
Day 6 of being on holiday while processing three-week-dead-dad. Thoughts: it's so weird that time is just like... continuing? It was one week, then two, now three. Just bizarre.

Day 5 of being on holiday while processing losing my dad. In almost exactly two hours it will be three weeks since he died. Thoughts: talking about it feels very self indulgent today. I feel fine, so why do I need to talk about it? If I talk about it I'm just being dramatic etc.

Day 4 of holiday after losing my dad. Thoughts: asking for what I need is hard. Asking for what I need is really useful. Had an afternoon alone after therapy to Feel Things, it was nice.
#grief #parentloss
Day 3, two weeks post dead dad, on holiday processing etc.
Thoughts: was really torn today on whether to go out and do things or stay in and allow sadness. Difficult to do both, it's either Doing or Being. Went out, was lovely, feel the need for some Being time.
#grief #parentloss
Day 2 of merging holiday fun with two-week dead dad processing. Thoughts: the statement "my dad is dead" is really fucking weird. It's also difficult not to try to force myself to feel the way I think I should (e.g. you should be sad, listen to xyz song). This is okay.
#grief #parentloss
Having lost my dad just over two weeks ago and now being on a long-planned holiday is a weird merging of two states of being. In an effort to consciously Think and Process, I'm going to note some thoughts each day. Day 1 (0?) thoughts: I am allowed to be slow wherever I am.
