I lost my Dad almost 2 years ago and it certainly brings a lot of introspection and acceptance. The thing that helped me the most that first year was attending a weekly parental loss group through my local hospice - just call em up and ask if they have a group. They also have spouse loss groups for your Mom.

In response to your comment on my blog about the moster pants, I hate sewing and have never embroidered anything--I think you need a special machine for that or at least a fancier one than I have! Have you checked out she she made? They have some cute things and might be able to do something custom for you. Etsy might have something more yor style. Or perhaps check with a quilting shop owner to see if they can recommend someone local. <br /><br />Good luck!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687848140471196822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314273745230597113.post-29104091081938510982012-09-15T03:23:49.106-07:002012-09-15T03:23:49.106-07:00Thinking of you, MTL.

While your children will not have a genetic connection to him, he will be part of their tapestry in your stories about his running or his favorite recipes or all the little ways he has shaped your life.

Ever since my mom passed (just over a year ago)I cry every time I hear of someone losing a loved one, but especially a parent. Its going to be hard for a long time, be kind to yourself and think back often to the good, happy memories.

I wish there was some words of comfort I could share with you that could make you feel better all at once, but I know for myself, the passage of time was what lessened my grief. My brother will have been gone for 7 years this year, and most of the time I am ok, but some days, it's raw all over again. I can only imagine the grief of losing a parent, especially one like your dad whom you admired so much. And it certainly is not silly to be sad about feeling the loss of your dad's genetic connection with your children. I remember people saying that it was good that my brother did not have children when he died, but it just made me sad that he didn't have kids. At least then, I would have a living breathing connection with him. And when my grandfather passed last month as we were accepting the fact that my genetics were not going to be passed on, it was that familiar sadness again. It's just so hard to let go sometimes... I wish you and your family peace in the days ahead.
