Christi,
I am so sorry to hear about your Daddy. I know that right now the loss is so great; it can seem unbearable. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
You need to grieve. Filling up your life with busy stuff will only postpone what will happen, and take it from experience, the grief will come and the longer it takes to happen, the more explosive it will be!!!!! Take some time, be by yourself, and let it happen!
My Mom died when I was 26. I was too busy with my family and work and didn't take time to grieve. It hit me like a TON of brick about a year later!
Cherish your Mama. When you lose your second parent (I lost my Dad when I was 37), I don't care how hold you are, you are an orphan, and you feel it BIG time!!!!!!
It is true that God will not give you more than you can handle. I know it seems there is no way He can put one more thing on my plate right now, but keep your faith. God bless you Christi!
Take care and God Bless,
Judy <><
