My heartfelt thanks to all of you.
Yes, life must go on, there's no help for that. Fortunately I have the rest of my family (my sister and nieces and their children), we talk about our feelings with each other and it's a big support. My sister is taking it harder than I, because she planned to invite Dad to live with her in the future (she has her own house). There's also our Mom, she lives with me and needs my support and help every day. Her physical health is pretty good for her age, but her emotional health not so much (she has anxiety problems). So I cannot just sit around and think about my loss all the time, and I think it's actually a good thing. You have to go on with your life, after all.
Being here on MR is also a big help, I can think about something else while I'm here. It's one of the most interesting and pleasant forums I've ever visited. So many knowledgeable members, discussions are intelligent and people are nice.
At the same time it's not one of those places where all members must toe the party line and no "dissidents" are tolerated. Here people disagree and argue, but they do so politely and without insulting each other (or at least they try to.
) It's great, being a member here.
Thank you, MobileRead.
