A Loss

Entry posted by comicfan in Dad

Like most people, I lost my father and it turned my world upside down. It is hard to deal with the death of a parent. It was when my mom passed. I stepped in and for 12 years I have taken care of my dad. No dates, no life, just work and helping him. 

With his passing it was rough. It hurt worse in February when my job cut 5,000+ people due to Corona. Sent me into a depression. There were days where getting out of bed was the accomplishment of the day.

I finally have pulled everything together. I am finally executing my father's will. It hasn't been easy. My brother didn't come when my dad was sick. He didn't come when my dad died. All he has done is complain about how long this is taking.

So now I turn the page and wonder what am I supposed to do? Who am I? Only time will tell as I begin again at 51.

Who are you at 51?

You are a compassionate, loving, caring person who did what was best for his father and family when you were needed most. All the years you were growing up with them looking after you, I'm sure both of them know that you did your job as for a son for when they needed you most.

You are a person who will tolerate fools. That is a quality that I seriously lack and envious of you. Don't let your brother wear you down, just go at a pace that you are comfortable, execute the will as your father's wishes, and realize that some people just are like that, especially if there is money involved :( 

Who will you be? I imagine a guy that has all these good qualities and more and can focus a bit more on himself and take those qualities into the future wherever you choose to go, or fate takes you :hug:

Thank you. Mostly it feels like I'm failing somehow but I keep going. Just going to see where life takes me.
