I'm Sharron. I'm not at all new to JM but have not been on this board before. I lost my dad on 4th February 2010 to pneumonia after he had suffered with COPD for years. The funeral was yesterday. I thought I'd come and say hello here in case I feel like coming here to talk to people who understand.
I'm currently a single mummy to Daniel, aged 3 and live in the UK.
I am sorry for the loss of your dad. Sending warm thoughts for you as you begin the journey for healing. The first 6 months were really hard for me - really at the 6 month point from loosing my mom i think was just as painful as the day i lost her and then the greif started to lighten. I lost my mom after a 6 month battle with cancer (feb 2009). Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

“I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway...let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves.”
“Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is...and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.”
