This is a great thread - so much wisdom in so few words.
(((((((Raine)))))))) I am happy to hear you are learning to "let go" I have learned that grief for our parents lasts for a lifetime. You will always miss and love your Dad and that's OK. I think the hard part is moving beyond his senseless manner of death. He would not want you dwelling on that. Focus on the memories of your time together - keep those memories alive. Focus on the love - the love will always be alive - no one can take that away.
I started this thread and then wondered if I had anything to say - what have I learned that I can put in a one short lesson?
This morning I woke up and it hit me - it is an ongoing lesson and it takes constant practice:
Do not pass judgement before spending time contemplating what it would be like to "walk in the other (man or woman's) shoes"
