Joan Didion in "The Year of Magical Thinking" gives a very thoughtful and deliberate explanation of what grief is, and this post reminded me of that. <br /><br />Losing those close to us is challenging, because like you said in a previous post, the world seems to keep moving while you are personally devastated. I've been there and it is so hard. But ultimately, you can embrace the fact that you loved each other dearly. That's what this life is all about.Deshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709617850976524708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-22528482439807405172012-10-27T14:29:14.918-07:002012-10-27T14:29:14.918-07:00I'm behind with everything - also catching up ...I'm behind with everything - also catching up on blogs.

Reading them makes me smile even if the grief is pretty raw right now. Tomorrow we're flying to Venice and I'm hoping to find some relief in the sunshine and beauty of the place and imagine how he would have enjoyed it.

You will find a way to cope with your loss and carry on but you go on in a different way, always keeping the person you love with you in a way. I hope the good memories of your father and the love will bring you some solace in the coming days.
