As many of you who follow my blog know, I lost my precious mother on May 1, 2013 and then my dear father-in-law May 18, 2013. And then my daughter's wonderful wedding on June 2, 2013. Then two major surgeries for me on June 21 and Dec. 31, 2013. Both were a 6-9 month recovery.
Yes, I've been through the hardest year of my life by far.
And I've learned a lot about grief. And that it isn't straight forward.

A couple of weekends ago, I got to go visit my dad. The visit wasn't as long as I could have wanted, but Daddy and I had a good time. And just being around him taught me how to better weather the storm of grief and loss that our family finds ourselves in since we lost our mom and he lost his beloved wife of 60 years in May of 2013. You could say that I learned a life lesson from my dad.
