Finally got my buddy list updated! I totally get your metaphor about the waves. Grieving is an advance and retreat sort of process. And it sounds like you have made peace with your inner 'tides'. ~LA

I understand how you feel, to a point. I lost my father in 2002, and even now little things take me by surprise and bring a fresh pang of grief, or as you said, a little reminder that he's never coming back. But it has become easier to bear with time; I hope that it does so for you.

I don't mean this to sound sappy, but I feel priveleged to have found your diary and to be reading it. What I have learned about grief in the last couple of years is that there's no way to be prepared for it at all, even when you know what's coming, and that it's a universal experience that seems to hit everyone in a unique way. The best description I've ever heard is that you never get over it, but you get past it. Thanks for giving me a window into your journey.
