in Grief and Bereavement #1
I was over at the Esophageal cancer board the past 11 months. I've guess you'd say I've graduated? Two weeks ago today my father passed away from esophageal cancer.

This whole grieving thing is really, really hard. Not so much the dealing with the sadness, but the unpredictability of when those wave of tears is gonna sweep in and blind side ya! Why is it always in public or while your driving??? Ugh.

Anyway, my heart goes out to each and every one of you that is dealing with a loss. I knew it would be hard to lose a parent, I just didn't think it would be literally, so painful. There are times my heart physically feels like it's gonna crack in half.

Thanks for listening.

Blessings,
Sally
