It is very hard when you lose two loved ones in a very short period of time. My family and I had 4 weeks to process my Mother's passing before my father ended up in the hospital, and 10 weeks later he was gone.  It actually felt like we lost them together . I have decided to create this website because grief is hard. If you sit alone with it for too long it becomes a heavy weight that can leave you immobile.  Even if those you lose have lived long full lives, it is hard to maneuver through all the grief, the loss, the regrets.

Even though my parents are physically gone, their presence is more apparent than ever. They are there in objects, they are there in sounds, songs, smells, letters, in the walks and laughs of strangers.

It does become easier with time but still even with time all those steps of grief can still slide in suddenly, quietly, and in no particular order. The denial, the bargaining, the anger, the depression, and the acceptance, it all flows in. None of the steps really ever seem to complete themselves. They circle around and grab a hold of you without any notice, and sometimes it doesn't feel like you are healing, It just feels like you are making the motions.

Grief is hard, and I no longer can sit with it alone. So I have decided to share my Parents story, to make their presence known, for they are still apparent . Yet they have become a part of history.

And it is time for me to be mobile again and begin to move on.
