Glenn,
This too shall pass.
Grieving is as individual as fingerprints. When you learn the bases and the reasons (yes reasons), for grieving it makes it easier, and understandable.
First understand that it is part of Gods plan, for the deceased and then for the survivors.
THE deceased;
Gods word says 70 or 80 years to a man... Our (even yours) is mortal, it goes back to God. It was originally designed to stay with the man and man was to never die.
THE survivor;
Grieving is a slower process than that of an all of a sudden stop. In fact grieving can and often does begin when a loved one has health problems and death lingers on, as your Father did. Some folks carry this hurt for decades, another sibling or relative only for a few days. Some get 'stuck' in grief too, be careful of that one.
I found support ay the local church. They were offering grief counseling for free. You had to buy the $17 workbook. You can go to griefshare.org and find sessions going on in your area.
You will always remember your loved one, and death will always have a sting. Carolyn passed away at home 6 months ago, it is the hardest thing, to date, in my life, but I'm moving forward, bit by bit. While it was the hardest thing, taking care of her was such a great blessing, difficult at times, but a wonderful experience, I hope you were able to have this part of the experience.
I don't know how close you were when he was in his last days, months or years, sounds like you were close by. Yeah!
Where is Mom or his wife in all of this?
Don't forget to eat. People will say 'off' remarks, forgive them as they too are grieving and just don't know how to handle it.

Today's Featured Article - Two-Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. Whether for product liability or because the aftermarket parts and labor business is lucrative, this concept is disturbingly prevalent. Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
